Released between February 1, 1999 and April 30, 1999. This particular model sold out fairly fast.
When these yo-yos hit the market, each one came with different colored halves. Some dealers thought this was an error and corrected it by reassembling yo halves of matching colors only. This one had matching yo halve colors.
Original retail price: $50 US.
