YoYoRecreation Appreciation Thread

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

E=MC^2 is one of my favourites of the ones I’ve tried (not many) but it’s not that forgiving of bad throws. It’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 it’s worth the price; best to try one before buying, but that’s often impossible… in which case, as with all yoyos of any price, it’s just a risk and you’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 that’s an Overdrive 2

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

Ah, gotcha. Don’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. They’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 I’d think.

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

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

I’ve had a couple offered to me for $90-100 that I passed on and I’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:

^^^ I’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 won’t ever forget this moment. Wanted to get tempered rims but raw is just good.
As for you Laser, your next and someday you’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?

I’d be all over this group buy if I was based in the states. As it is, shipping from Japan is probably cheaper for me.
