YoYoRecreation Appreciation Thread

I definitely agree with those recommendations.
I would add that the Stargazer is a great choice too.

At the end of the day, itā€™s still just a yoyo. If you get one with specs that donā€™t really suit you, itā€™s not going to magically compensate for that just because itā€™s YYR.

E=MC^2 is one of my favourites of the ones Iā€™ve tried (not many) but itā€™s not that forgiving of bad throws. Itā€™s pretty hard to go wrong with a Sleipnir if you can find one, though. The ones I want to try are the Fragment and (even moreso) the Uragment.

Anyhow, suffice it to say that only you can decide if itā€™s worth the price; best to try one before buying, but thatā€™s often impossibleā€¦ in which case, as with all yoyos of any price, itā€™s just a risk and youā€™ll have to decide if you want to take it!

Anyone notice the YYE edition Overdrive is missing the little center nub?

I noticed that. It looks more like the Overdrive 2.

What centre nub?

Yuki

Its because thatā€™s an Overdrive 2

Look at a pic of the overdrive on expert and compare to an older. Cool to know itā€™s an Overdrive 2.

Ah, gotcha. Donā€™t know why I keep thinking that both versions of the Overdrive just have a flat face.

how much would a near mint raw perfectstar go for?

Depends. Theyā€™re more common than the other protos, but still super rare. Anything under $140-$150 would be ok if you wanted it bad enough. $110-$120 would be a real decent deal Iā€™d think.

How much does a mint e=mc2 normally go for?

Iā€™ve sold/traded a couple mint splashed ones for $90-$115 i think. They were super common in the mystery boxes so thereā€™s a decent amount floating around, but they might be harder to come by these days.

Iā€™ve had a couple offered to me for $90-100 that I passed on and Iā€™ve seen them listed from anywhere from $90-130.

I think that as NathanC said; those were prices from when there was a flood from the Lucky Boxes. Now that those extras have found homes, you are looking at having to spend $ to pry them loose from someone holding one. I sold an extra splashed e=mc2 back then for $120. I know that $130 would not get my last one now.

I sold my extra Sleipnir for retail. I daresay that a MIB Benson Fok Sleipnir would go for a bit more now.

What I would do for a Sleipnir in this colorway:

^^^ Iā€™d rock that! If you find two holla at me. lol

Finally a maber of the DRAUPNIR club, I missed my opportunity during the summer, missed all the color releases, but now your mine.
Just ordered it a hour ago during a earthquake here in Cali. It was epic and wonā€™t ever forget this moment. Wanted to get tempered rims but raw is just good.
As for you Laser, your next and someday youā€™ll be mine as well.

does anyone wanna buy shirts with me so we dont have to pay 15 bucks for shipping on a 10 dollar shirt?

You could just buy 10 of them and re-sell on the BST. I mean, $10 for a t-shirt is a pretty good deal, even if you take the YYR-ness out of it.

Yuki

I would definitely be down to get some YYR T-shirts, would you guys like to buy some if I bought like 10 so we can all save on shipping?
