We Played with Legos and Sticks!


At first glance, this little gem resembles a piece of fancy shmancy jewellery. Or even a jewel-encrusted tire. 
But no...It’s a yo-yo. 
The Nostalgia Yo Yo is a $5,000 toy designed by world champion yo-yo builder Shinobu Konmoto. And if the price wasn’t enough to garner a “WTF?” reaction, this might: it takes six months to make just one of these bad boys. Yup. Six months for one little yo yo. Make sure you put the waiting period to good use and learn a few tricks on the dollar store version. Nothing screams "nouveau riche" like someone with a blinged-out toy and no skills.
But "walking the dog" or "cat's cradle" with this yo-yo will be worth every, single, cent.
stupid is as stupid does.
