Thanks for that, the info you gave me is exactly what I am after.

Been to places like that and Toys R Us but not the ones I am looking for.

I dont buy off E bay at the drop of a hat, I prefer to support local business like a newsagent in Mandurah over some key board warrior working out of his bed room.

If a little kid wants a Yo-Yo I want to take him to the shop showing various types and let him choose, which is why I asked for a "PERTH SHOP".

There may not be that many left, I posted it up on FB a couple of weeks ago because my mates were chasing yo-yo's also.. so I can't guarantee supply at that Mandurah newsagent.

Might be worth ringing them first!

Might be worth me buying them all and jacking the price up on ebay

I remember the 1984 to 1986 phase over east, it was Fanta, Coke or Lift Yo-Yo's as Coke were sending demo teams around to shopping centres.

I'm Boss on a Yo-Yo, I can do all the awesome tricks :
The Smack self in forehead
The spin it to end of string then not come up and end up twisting around looking shit
The get stuck half way and nearly tear off finger
The realise you suck at Yo-Yo's and pump your arm up and down making it look like you're doing it
The spin it into a knot the likes of that the only way to untangle it is to cut the string
The throw it so far that you hurt your arm because its not as fun as it looked

Can't wait till they are back again..........

Why not check out the hobby shops? Like the one in harbour town. Think I got mine from there.
