One day? They still are, and if the OP is looking for a new yoyo he’d be crazy not to buy one. And OK, let’s go with $145 then, still seems like a good deal compared to some of the hypebeast yoyos people pay more for around here. How could made in Japan be a bad thing? I think you’d be hard pressed to find many countries with the manufacturing standards and quality control as the Japanese. Last i checked they knew a thing or two about yoyos and probably have the biggest yoyo community in the world, but yeah who’d want to buy those.
Meanwhile people get giddy with delight at the prospect of paying $165 for a 6061 yoyo just because Jensen posted a picture of a dog on Instagram or something. Not sure where i can get a 7075 yoyo for <$100? Not an alloy snob, but it is a fact 7075 is decently more expensive, so at least there’s a reason for the expense, unlike some companies imo. Heck, Shinya’s new 7075 C3 signature yoyo the Krown is 16,900Y, which is over $170 at the moment, and will probably sell for $160 in the US.
Hypebeast, lol thought that was only a fashion term. Anyways, I loved my dreadnought and would definitely be interested I’m purchasing yyr yoyos for such low prices, where is the question.
On a side note, I’m terribly saddened by the fall of yoyonation, it was after all, where I got my first modern yoyo. Hope they can return someday…
