YoYoRecreation Lucky Box

He should be happy with any of those for $60!

Assign each yoyo a number 1-3.

Get three strips of paper, write a 1, 2, or 3 on them and toss them into a hat. Randomly draw one of the slips.

Send him the yoyo with the corresponding number.

I’d say he’ll be grateful for any of them.

I got both boxes (A, A-). My experience is that the A- have some aesthetic flaw. Most likely a slight swirl in the anodization; or very slight scratches in one place or another. These are handling scratches, not playing scratches. They also seem a bit dull compared with the A grade throws implying they were not polished.

I would ask the person if it cam from an A- box or not. Otherwise, it will be hard to tell the difference because the scratches I am talking about will happen with normal handling/play without ever dinging them.

The good news is that these are A grade in terms of play. My A- grade Sleipnir is as smooth as my Benson Fok A+ Sleipnir. So getting an A- will take nothing away from play.

Just curious; did anyone get a Mr. Butcher in their Lucky Box?

I was hoping for a Mr Butcher but alas, no.

Yep, crossing my fingers for a Mr Butcher or a StarGeyser. I have a feeling this gonna be a long wait…

Rarest throws in these boxes seem to be the Mr Butcher, Fragment, and Blink. Only seen one or two out of all the A grade boxes. Starting to accept the fact that i’ll be paying full price for those. :confused:

You really should have decided this before you organised payment.

Either divide the three randomly as previously mentioned, or you pick your favourite of the three. Then he picks his favourite of the next two and you take the remaining one. That way you’re sure not to miss out on your favourite and he’s sure not to get his least favourite.

Got it all worked out.

My tracking was updated earlier today to “processing at delivery post office”. It was then updated a bit ago to “retention”. I’ve never seen that on a tracked package. Anyone know what it is?

You’ll get it tomorrow. Totally normal. Just means they couldn’t get it out today.

Nah already well through customs at that point. These EMS packages get some of the highest priority. They’ll deliver them before/after the regular mail gets delivered. Yesterday my YYR package was special delivered by a separate driver before the usual mail had even come around. Retention just means it was too late for them to deliver it today but they’ll get it out tomorrow.

It’s been stuck at “Origin Post is Preparing Shipment” for the past 9 hours. Ordered the box on Saturday morning.

Hope it gets shipped soon…

It’s cool dude, mine was stuck at that same status for almost 3 days then I refreshed the page today and it had jumped 4 stops, showing it was currently in Chicago.

I guess some of our packages tracking just don’t get updated as quickly as others. :-\

Mine is in Newyork…

Although I just noticed that mine says ‘In Customs’ now. I am hoping that doesn’t mean that my package wasn’t randomly held by customs or anything…

Don’t think i’ve ever had one say that. :frowning:

Really? That’s strange. I would imagine all packages from out the country go through customs.

Both of my Boxes have gone through Customs in Chicago and my tracking also currently says it’s ‘In Customs’.
