Did they come in boxes? How the heck could tape residue get on them? Curious minds would like to know! Although I’m sure a little acetone would clean them up but, yeah, where’s the “value added” attention to detail? ---

> [@NathanC](#): > > Got mine. All unengraved so trying to figure out what everything is. Pretty sure it’s a blue Messiah, raw Overdrive, and black Acrophobia. Messiah is covered in like tape residue which i’m hoping i can get off, it’s pretty gross and everywhere and not easy to get off, and raw Overdrive looks pretty dirty, but hopefully can be cleaned/polished. Acro looks nice. Haven’t had a chance to play any yet - have a killer headache, but hopefully will soon. Anyway sort of average/10 on the satisfaction scale, i understand if they have some vibe or whatever, which i assume they do, but covered in tape residue and dirty isn’t really acceptable to me in a B grade, let alone an A-… I find this unacceptable. I would call the Overdrive and Messiah C-Grades at best. ---

> [@Motley07](#): > > I wouldn’t sweat it too much, I’ll bet they play stellar once you get over the shock. Good score BTW. Definitely. I didn’t mean to come across as upset or anything, slightly below what i expected, but i certainly don’t feel slighted. I mean i paid $110+$13 shipping for my other B-grade Acro, which was high tbh, but that box Acro alone is a great deal and once i get the others cleaned up they’ll be great. Already thinking about some custom ano or mirror polishing for the Overdrive, plus i’ll be able to do the first review of the new vs. old Overdrive which i think a lot of people are curious about. ---

Mmmmmm,that Acrophobia… Trust me, you wont be disappointed having 2. Im hoping my package will have one so that my Blue/silver Acro can have a brother. I just got home and saw that the mailman left one of those papers saying that he needs a signature. Now i have to wait till tomorrow to pick it up at the Post Office. So excited!!! ---

So gave the Messiah a rub with some elbow grease and a microfiber towel and it’s perfect now, also dead smooth, smoother than the A-grade i owned a year or two ago, go figure. Acrophobia and Overdrive are also both dead smooth to the eye and on string, and have a pretty much undetectable amount of vibe on a fingernail test, basically the same as regular YYRs or any other yoyo, so very happy now. ---

Kinda disappointed with the Mystery box I received. It was a good deal for the price but the throws I got I wasn’t really fond of. I got a Red Attune, Red/Blue unengraved 6, and a Raw Triplet. Didn’t really want any undersized throws and to make it worse I hate the color red. Good thing is I may have a trade lined up for the Attune. If anyone is interested in the 6 I am willing to trade it for any other YYR or sell it. Ill post pics later. ---

All these jojos are making me very jealous. If anyone has an Acrophobia, Blink, or E=mc^2 for trade, I have a 2012 Clash for trade. Pm me please! Also, I must make note to not miss out on the mystery boxes next year. So many nice throws for so cheap.
