I bought them 10 years ago during the last yo-yo boom.
Wow, there was a boom and I missed it??! :lol:

They gave away some at RCX a few years ago. Not these ones specifically. They had blue and another color I'm not remembering.

Yes, I got one at RCX a few years ago - it is blue:
has "TL" one one side,
and "Cherry Bomb A-line" / "Team Losi - Adjustable String Gap - Ball Bearing"
on the other side. I've never used it...

I have a few of the high end ones MIB and the one from RCX! Horizon was blowing out the Losi YoYo's when they bought out Losi and I purchased a few dirt cheap!

Old thread, new purchase for me I hope. I see a few on ebay and will pick one up.

But I am looking for some opinions on what one to buy... On with the story.

I had a customer come into my store today with a Team Losi yo-yo. I new what it was right away. He had it mixed in with a bunch of misc small electronics.

As soon as I saw it, I thought of this thread and could not remember what models anyone here have chatted about.

I offered to buy it, (along with the rest of his old stuff) and we were not able to make a deal.

I am now on the hunt for one. What model would be good to buy... If any of you have used one? I could buy two, one to keep and one to use. Yo-yo-ing is fun!! :mrgreen:

I have one of the silver series cherry bombs and enjoy it. I don't do tricks with it besides letting it sleep but mine has held up well. I would like to have a couple of the different colors of the cherry bomb Yo-Yo's but have never wanted them bad enough to buy more as of yet.

I never had a Losi yo-yo but they were popular bitd.

I did have a yo-ofna yo-yo though. I still have it and it is one of the best yo-yo's I've used.
