I LOVE my Mr. Butcher. I think it is easily the most overlooked of the YYR line. It is amazing how much this yoyo still feels like a YYR even though the weight distribution is completely backwards from most models.
If you already have some YYR, Mr. Butcher is the perfect addition to add something extra to your YYR lineup. Totally different, unique and still YYR all the way.
My mystery box just arrived! Pretty chuffed with the contents. Clockwise from top left: Stargeyser (unengraved), E=MC^2, and Sleipnir (raw). The only throw I already had was the Sleipnir but hey, I now have a competition pair should I ever choose to go that route with it.
If not, I expect there will be a few people from this thread looking to trade away duplicates so you might be able to get what you want any way. Best of luck to you!
They were only available directly through YYR and sold out pretty quickly.
Me too, but I finally decided to check my gmail spam folder and found the shipping notice there! Apparently I 'm awaiting custom clearance. Should be here tomorrow…too pumped.
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-…
The Acrophobia is a pretty nice windfall. Almost makes up for all the mess on the other two. Wouldn’t be too worried about the Overdrive since it’s already raw but I hope the ano on the Messiah holds up to cleaning.
