three days left.

As a reminder, this will end at midnight on February 28th. I will announce the winner, or person who got the closest, on March 1st.

The prize package from YYWS is packaged a ready to ship - it just needs a name. Your name WILL NOT be put on that box, if you don’t enter. 🙂

If you think it’s “too hard” or there’s “too much red tape” - I’m going to be giving away $400 worth of stuff. It’s supposed to be hard.

I look forward to crowning a winner and sending that person a big ole’ box of goodies. PLUS you get the next yoyo we put out, and a shirt, courtesy of YYE!

Have a good weekend everyone.  
-Wayne

Super excited that IG isn’t required anymore! I was instabanned for no reason within seconds of creating an IG account and the automated appeal system is useless so I didn’t think I’d get a crack at this one.

With that said, if you’d kept the IG requirement I wouldn’t have complained, for gosh sakes you’re volunteering to give away free stuff and nobody should get to dictate how you do it!  
If anyone doesn’t like your giveaway then they can just do their own however they want to. 😁

Win or lose, I’m excited to see what the final answer is!

It’s over! First, there were 36 total entries

Honorable mentions:

@Mep (for their guess of “Capstan 2.0”)

@ToastedOats (for their guess of “Frieza”, “EOD”, and “VonBoom” - all correct by the way!)

* * *

The WINNER is @aszyd! He was “Closest to the pin” - while he got the model correct to a T, he  
only listed two of the correct colorways. Regardless, he was closest in all resepects.

Excellent work @aszyd !

* * *

The new yoyo is CAPSTAN '22

Here is the box art and a teaser pic of a prototype sample - not a final product (courtesy of @Marioyo , who worked tirelessly to mill a prototype for his own benefit and ours - big THANK YOU Mario!)

@aszyd - e-mail me at [theyoyoworkshop@gmail.com](mailto:theyoyoworkshop@gmail.com) and give me your name and shipping address. Also, e-mail @AndreBoulay and give him your shirt size and alert him that you won!

Good work everyone and let’s be sure to congratulate our winner!
