YoYoRecreation Appreciation Thread

The trigger hath been pulled. Box ordered. Just when most of my YYR have been sold off. The dollar/yen has been looking mighty healthy, have a little paypal on deck, keep checking the YYR source daily, and it’s such a killer deal, so…

Rolling the dice for a Fragment, Overdrive, and Mr. Butcher.

But to be honest I’m looking forward to being surprised… unless it’s like 3x Diffusions or something (it wouldn’t be that, right?!.. Diffusions are great and all, but…).

I’m pretty sure if they start sending out Diffusions, nobody’s ever buying another mystery box again. Hoping for something I don’t have yet. Doubt it’ll happen, but an Acrophobia would be lovely.

how often do the boxes come out cuz there was one 2 weeks ago

Even worse would be 2 bearing and a pack of string, hehe.

But really I suppose it’s what they have extra stock of. It’d be cool to get the new Overdrive version, but that’s probably not going to be in the mix. Maybe I’ll see a Dreadnought G, Fragment, and Sleipnir. Whichever way you slice it, it’s a fantastic deal.

If anyone has/gets a Mr.Butcher and/or Z-ON they’d trade or sell, please hit me up, would prefer to trade.

If I get a second Mr. Butcher it will be up for grabs…

Just got my email that my mystery box shipped!!! I’m excited

Ooh I cannae wait! rubs hands together in anticipation

Got my Lucky Box today!
The haul:
-black unengraved Acrophobia
-blue Clash (I’m not sure about this one)
-purple E=mc2

Unfortunately I’ve tried all of these. I was really hoping I’d get something new. They all play awesome, though!

See I don’t own any YYRs, so whatever I get I’ll be happy with. That looks like an amazing box to me. :smiley:

Edit: why are you “unsure” about the clash?

I sure hope I get an Acro. :frowning:

Im here, and Probably wiloing to trade mehbee

Because I think it might be a Sleipnir ;D The only engraving it has is ‘yoyorecreation’.

But dude, it’s obvious which YYR is which. :wink:

You shut your Canadian face right now!

Couldn’t resist…I bought another Lucky Box http://assets.amirite.com/smilies/maniac.gif

How long does it take to ship? I’d rather save money and buy from the b/s/t when it gets flooded w/ mystery box loots. The way I see it, its better I pay 95 each for the throws I want than blindly gamble my 205 for what could possibly be an undersized or oversized or a brick of a throw (69+grams) throw. The odds are against my preferences

The shipping is extremely quick; from Japan, anyways. Mine was received by the Japanese post office and arrived in Chicago in less than 2 days. But then it was stuck in customs for nearly a week.

Mine was received by JapanPost on Friday morning. Based on past experiences, I’m expecting delivery Monday around late morning.

Anyone have any knowledge about the ‘vibe disclaimer’? I mean, if companies like CLYW and YYF can make a 7075 throw that doesn’t vibe when you unscrew it (in some cases), why can’t YYR? What with their engineering and machining prowess.

Now I have little knowledge of the machining of yoyos, but I would imagine that if they didn’t have such tight bearing seats, there’d be much less vibe. You really shouldn’t have to crank the thing to get it apart - there’s no way that it’s beneficial to the structural integrity.

That’s just a way to save their butt when people want a refund for a vibey yoyo.
