Description

****NEW, RARE 1999 FACTORY SEALED SET OF 2 COMPLEX YO-YOS: BAN DAI RED "X-BRAIN" & RED "BRAIN" YOMEGA!****
I was a Dealer For & Sold YOMEGA YO-YO in My Old Toy Store that I operated in Central Illinois from 1998-2001 : During The Grand Old Days of Yomega, Black Mamba, Duncan, Pokemon, Furby's, Color Game Boys, etc.
In advance of Christmas 2022 I'm offering some of my left over NEW VINTAGE Store Stock that's been kept in my clean office storage.
This eBay auction is for the COMPLEX SET: ONE BAI DAI RED "X-BRAIN FAUX YOMEGA" YO-YO & ONE GENUINE STRAIGHT FROM THE YOMEGA FACTORY RED YOMEGA "BRAIN" YO-YO.
In 1999, YOMEGA's price for their BRAIN Yo-Yo's was considered pricey for kids. So Ban Dai got contracts with Wal-Mart & K-Mart to sell a "FAKE" made in China version re-titled "X-Brain Yomega". Those Ban Dai models were NOT AUTHENTIC YOMEGA's, at all. Yet they sold VERY WELL for Wal-Mart & K-Mart.
At My Old Toy Store, we were YOMEGA DEALERS. WE SOLD AUTHENTIC MADE IN THE U.S.A. YOMEGA'S, until people preferred the cheaper discount store "FAKE" models from China, that were half price. So then we carried both models. It was a COMPLEX & CONFUSING time. Ultimately Yomega "bought out" the Ban Dai models. I've no idea why Yomega never sued Ban Dai for stealing the BOTH the Yomega name AND the Yomega LOGO, but the world was very different back in 1999.
This auction includes a Yomega Red "BRAIN" model from a NEW box that I just opened last night on 11/27/22!!! The U.S.A. Yomega Factory Box is dated 03/04/1999. Unlike the typical clamshell plastic case, these were a fancy model called "The Brain Maui Gift Box Yo-Yo" & it comes in a Clear Plastic Box with a Black, Flocked Plastic Bottom (see photos).
Be the First Kid On Your Block this Holiday Season to own both a Fake AND Authentic Set of 2 Vintage 1999 Yomega Yo-Yos! Let your hands, be the first to open these Factory Sealed Packages, after 23 yrs of storage!
