Post 2nd run 5-STAR coming soon!
Thanks to all who made the original 5-star a success.
We changed a few things for this run.
With a bead blasted finish, one gram lighter, and a slightly wider gap, I hope you enjoy this thing as much as I do.

weight 64.00
width 41.27
dia 52.14
gap 4.20

AIGR large bearing
Onedropp thick pads, or silicone.

The green color looks great, especially with that string. I may have to pick one up. I do have to say, I hope you are not offended, but I loved the polished look of the original 5-Star quite a bit more. That combo, red/black polished 5-Star was just a world class looking yo-yo, even if the finish didn't lend itself to grinding.

I must say that after giving it a day, the green is really growing on me. That combined with the bead blast finish is looking rather striking. Any work on price point for the second release?

That looks excellent! I was really bummed on missing the first run so I have to get one of these. Two questions, when are they going to be released and will they be available through the One Drop store?

Awesome, is the engraving the same on both sides or does it still have the circle of 5 stars on one side?

The finish/texture looks similar to the one that is on green addicts...which means awesome. My coffers won't be ready to buy another yo-yo until fall, but I'll have to try to get my mitts on one of those things eventually. They look like dynamite players.

It is one gram lighter, and that really made it quicker.(64.00 gr)
The gap is a tad wider also.(about .4 mm)
It comes quite unresponsive with two OneDrop thick pads recessed, and for the most part "competition ready".
As for the engraving,
Only one side is engraved, as shown above.

What stores are going to get what edition?
Most interested in the Welcome Back Pete edition... There are only 5 so I wouldn't be surprised if none of them made it to stores :(

The German and Japan editions look pretty nice too.

Well that's too bad. Americans like black too! Anyway, if that curve happens to be any pete/german/japan editions, I'll probably have to buy one... *sigh* ;)
