Boom.

Okay, here’s a big one.

First of all, we finally finished up Sakura, which will be produced next week! Here are some shots of the preproduction model. Everything is final about this one.


Eight of these will be on sale at Yo-Shop soon.

Next one is the 2011 version of the Enigma. This time, we went for a small bearing. Colours are final, coating might switch to Candy Blast, we’ll see. Release will be in early 2011, maybe already in December 2010.


Yo-Shop will be getting five (preproduction).

And now for the big surprise: We teamed up with the guys at High Speed YoYo to bring a special coloured prerelease of the Noctu 2010 – HSYY Special Edition!


Only 15 made. Should be up there the next days.

That’s it for now, phew…

Problem solved

Posted on by

After finishing the Torinos, we noticed our machining shop changed some things, that’s why they don’t come as perfect as we want an ILYY to be. The Torinos will retail for about 10EUR less because of this. We nonetheless believe, the Torinos play wonderfully.
However, we addressed and solved what was changed. Future releases aren’t affected anymore.

Additional Void information

With the release of the Void we encountered some gold halves which have small spot in the thumbgrind groove where the gold is a bit brighter.
Keep in mind these spots are only cosmetical, they don’t affect the superb playability of these Voids at all. We at ILYY set performance over looks, that’s why we decided to release them nonetheless. We want to give as many players as possible the opportunity to experince such an awesome throw!
Thanks to Richie from YYZ for the picture!

Void – round two

After our first mini batch of Voids was such a huge hit, we immediately made a larger run of these. This time in a lot more vibrant colours!


And of course with masked guts for string goodness.

One Drop + ILYY -> Novus

Posted on by

We teamed up with the guys of One Drop and to bring our very own Novus box!


The Novus is the perfect box for storing crucial yoyo accessories like bearings, axles, o-rings, pads, hubstacks, strings and whatnot! Fits perfectly in every yoyo case and is really useful if your case does not have dedicated space for storing small parts.

Every box comes with several replacement ILYY axles, replacement o-rings for the NovusBox itself, a pin and a sticker. Price is not set yet, but will probably be around 20EUR/17GBP. There might be a version that includes an ILYY bearing as well for probably 5EUR more, but since our bearings seem to last forever, its not likely we even have to include a bearing at all.

Now for the pictures!
