I've seen them before, I use to be into yo-yo's.

The Losi ones are actually not that good, not pro level anyways, if you want a good yo-yo you have to get something like the cold fusion - http://cgi.ebay.com/Duncan-Cold-Fusi...QQcmdZViewItem

That's sweet. I need one.

But nothing can beat my Duncan Butterfly ( The Yo-Yo that started it all, at least for me!)

Yo-Yo's are cool. I own 27.

They're the only weapon that you can legally carry on a plane ( Yes, the Yo-Yo is actually a Philipino/ Polynesean martial arts weapon!)

27 huh? I've probably got somehwere around 25, give or take. I use to have more but sold/lost/broke a number of them.

I would have to say my favorite is the Pro-Yo BumbleBee's, I have three of them.

They're like $15-30 depending on the model. Just do a search for team losi yo yo, a few sites have various ones in stock.

You could aslo try ebay.

Losi was originally in the Skateboarding business (or was it Rollerblades?) when they first saw the R/C trucks and started their own company.
If you were asking which came first, R/C or Yo-yo's, I'd guess Yo-yo's. The first R/C vehicle was a boat, used at Fairs. The first civilian R/C plane was flown right here in my hometown and is now in the Smithsonian.

An old man with a head full of useless info............

Washington, DC. This one is the first civilian owned aircraft but there were others used by the military before that.
