Massive Update to the Motmot Online Yoyo Shop!

At the Motmot Shop, During this time of Coronavirus lockdowns, #stayathome, and #socialdistancing, we haven’t been sitting around playing Breath of the Wild. Far from it, I’ve been working like a madman to get all of these yo-yo’s onto our Motmot Online Shop.

There have been a few things we’ve ordered over the years, that for one reason or another, we haven’t added to our online shop. Maybe it arrived it a busy time, maybe we sold out of most of the order and had a few left, maybe the photos didn’t turn out so well, maybe we sell out of a certain yoyo quickly in our physical shop that we think, why bother? Maybe one particular yoyo I had thought was posted online, and turns out I never posted it, oops!
Some of these are the last pieces of their run, and I though, is it really worth it for one yo-yo? (Of course it is, the yoyo community is international, and maybe someone’s looking for a particular yoyo in some far away land.)

It’s taken some time and effort. I can see that my product photography skills have greatly improved in the last few months, and I think we’ve got the workflow down, so we can get each new yoyo that we stock in the online shop in a day or two of arrival. What’s crazy is that we are still adding stuff! There’s still more to come, and we are expecting a few shipments to arrive in the near future. I’ll be going over each of these yo-yo’s in upcoming posts, but I thought I would mention it an omnibus post!

And I want to give a shout out and a thank you to everyone who’s ordered from our online shop during the lockdown! Thanks!

A few of the yo-yo’s we’ve added!

Duncan Orbit, this thing is awesome, it’s an understated and underrated powerhouse. I think the first time I took photos of it, it didn’t look right.
