Museum of Yo-Yo History


Sponsors and Curators The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!

The Galaxyfly is an upgraded version of the YoYoFactory Starfly. Came with a size A center trac bearing instead of a plastic transaxle sleeve used on the Starfly. The body halves are a glitter blue as well, rather than the solid blue of the Starfly. It is also 2 grams heavier than the Starfly.

The Galaxyfly is considered an entry- to mid-level budget throw that uses a starburst response for traditional tug return play (when string is wrapped twice around the bearing), or dead response play (when string was wrapped once around the bearing).

Came with a trick sheet and user's manual that explained proper yo-yo maintenance and simple yo-yo operation.

The "Fly" series of yo-yos (Starfly, Galaxyfly, and Astrofly) was licensed by Bandai from YoYoFactory from 2011-2013. This short-lived series of three different yo-yos had their designs originally based on YoYoFactory's new (at the time) Replay model. The Replay was introduced on a very limited basis at the 2010 World Yo-Yo Championship. It wasn't until 2014 that the Replay was redesigned and in 2015 reintroduced, this time for the mass market.

Original retail price: $19 US.
