Same specs just some slight design changes. > **[44re:creation Stardust](https://yoyo.fandom.com/wiki/44re:creation_Stardust)** > > The Stardust was the first yo-yo made by 44re:creation, prior to re-naming itself YoYoRecreation. It is lighter and smaller than the Stargazer, lending itself to a faster playing experience. 44re:creation avoids ever having a bent axle on...

^ Ahh he’s beat me to it! Well played sir. From another store: > [@](#): > > The Stardust 2 is the Stardust reborn. With the same size and shape of the original, the Stardust’s large protruding axle area has been shaved down greatly, lightening the axle area for greater outward weight distribution. The Stardust 2 is also made from extra-durable 7075 aluminum, making it even stronger than the original. As if the Stardust weren’t strong enough, YYR has pushed the Stardust 2 to the limits. The Stardust 2 promises to continue the legacy and keep the love alive.

Im talking about the 44recreation stardust verses the yoyorecreation stardust v2. Not the Stardust 2. Its confusing I know! ---

Apologies for the misunderstanding! From an afternoon’s research it seems the following: 1. The V1 has slightly more rounded edges than the V2. (Based off comments I’ve read) 2. The V1 was more prone to vibe/less well built. 3. The V2 had a blasted version. Here are some quotes from the old YYN forums: > [@](#): > > darn! nice. i thought i was bad with 3 stardusts. you win! if you can get your hands on a Blink, you’ll LOVE it. it’s pretty much the next evolution of stardust. it’s wider than both the stardust and stargazer v1, but it’s the same diameter as the stardust v2. > [@](#): > > This thing plays 10x better than the original stardust, no vibe at all and the finish is amazing. People were asking the same thing when the Stargazer came out and later on once a lot of folks had tried it you would be lucky to get one for 140$. > [@](#): > > I was expecting good things from this yoyo but WOW. All my original 44re’s including my 2 stargazers and stardust v1 had some vibe to them, this one is dead smooth. Not to mention the blue color (i got a beadblasted blue one) is amazing and the beadblast is basically perfect. I mean I really can’t speak highly enough of this yoyo so far, it plays like a dream come true. > [@](#): > > YoYoRecreation changed its name from 44re:creation. > > their quality control and rep was slightly lower than desired, so they started anew with YYR with the stardust v2 (in my opinion, the best yoyo on the market today) > > i have a 44re stargazer and my v2 stargazers blow it away in every category but sleep time (that thing is just insane for long sleeps) You are right, there is very little information out there about the two, and what little there is is somewhat vague. Here are a good set of comparison pics: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/c/3/5c3fdde6c00a49fde46ca836b025e7e76d36f4e4.jpeg) ^ V1 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/6/7/8677a03b7868b6ca5fb2bc5db62cb35a0ebcc9f0.jpeg) ^ V2 The one thing that seems certain from what I’ve read is that the V2 is the better of the two. ---

The 44re:creation Stardust is one of my favorite yoyos of all time. I got one after Worlds '08 and it was so butter smooth. It was amazing. ---

> [@Jo.Mo.YoYo](#): > > awesome thanks guys! I am looking at getting one thats red and gold so I think that means its a V1. What do you guys think? If it’s red/gold and non-blasted then it’s the OG 44re:recreation Stardust.
