YomegaSpectrum – Light up Fireball Transaxle YoYo with LED Lights for Intermediate, Advanced and Pro Level String Trick Play + Extra 2 Strings & 3 Month Warranty (Yellow)

The media could not be loaded. I imported a few Spectrum EX's to the UK as I'm a big fan of the Yomega Spectrum and expected it to perform like a Raider EX out the box - both are advertised with the same form factor, bearing and interchangable spacers.I'm not sure what the core differences between this and the Raider are, but comparatively it feels very unresponsive out of the box. Trying to tighten it up with thinner spacers didn't seem to help much either.With a little bit of trial and error, I managed to dial in the same kind of responsiveness I'm familiar with with the Raider and the supplied string by using the supplied Silver default spacers and by double looping the string onto the bearing - otherwise, the string just doesn't seem to get enough contact with the starburst.For people in the reviews who said they were having issues, I'd recommend giving this a try and seeing if you get the response you're looking for.After doing this, it's got a nice and snappy return and I'm really happy with it. It's a fair bit weightier than a Raider and feels a little bit less controlled when I try and loop with it.It definitely feels potentially a little bit short sighted for Yomega to not give you a great out-of-box experience like this. I feel like it'd definitely be worth them giving you some notes on how to best set up the yoyo for optimal responsiveness.It's got a very different feel to the other yoyos in this style by Yomega, as it's a frosted plastic with a matte-finish, but it looks fantastic with the upgraded LED circuit. I find myself just using the multi-coloured and the purple setting most of all, and I also really like that you can set each side of the yoyo up differently to combine different LED effects. I've tried to capture this in a few pictures in a dark room, it really pops, and the colours are exceptional!Really satisfied with this yo-yo overall once it was set up, a great upgrade to the Spectrum.Recommended, just make sure you spend a bit of time setting it up properly!

Kids love it ...

I bought a second one because my nephew loved the one my son got for his birthday. Lights up, comes with instructions on how to change the batteries and an extra string.

Lights ran out quickly

Me encantó el producto,funciona la luz,luego de las primeras jugadas, ya despues se prende cada vez que juegas y se ve bonito, ahora estoy enseñando a mis hijos a jugar yoyo,para que también tengan esas habilidades, de mi infancia.

I bought the multicolored version, and I love it. The illumination is beautiful, and I’ve always been a big fan of Yomega. So why only three stars? The starburst system on this yoyo is too weak. Like many reviewers mentioned, you can’t wind it up properly with the default setup. I tried high-viscosity oil, double looping the string, and swapping to narrower spacers, which helped with inside loops. But it still sometimes doesn’t respond.If it had the same starburst as the Raider, this yoyo would be perfect ever.

Yahoo! It's a great one! Batteries last a while, I've played with it for a couple months and only changed them once after the LEDs stopped showing all of the colors. It seems like as the batteries die, the colors fade until it only lights up red, functioning as a low battery indicator. The batteries are easy to change with a small Phillips head screwdriver.

This product was a dud out of the box. So I spent the money to drive, print the receipt, and return it for an exchange. Only for the second one to be a dud.Believe the bad reviews about the quality, I wouldn't suggest it for a child out of concern the build quality of the lights is too flimsy and they'd be disappointed it doesn't work. Do NOT believe the AI generated response that it is "built like a tank." It is not. I highly suspect it got jostled in the giant box it came in and died that way.Replacing the string with a less thick, cotton-y one solves all the problems of flow. And everyone concerned about "it keeps spinning!!" should do a little research on yoyos before complaining. It's the way yoyo strings are designed. That's why the box says "tighten before use."Regardless. I lost money on this and am annoyed. I would like this resolved.

El yoyo funciona perfectamente cuándo se combina el espaciador verde con cuerdas de ancho "regular", los demás espaciadores son un tanto inútiles porque tornan al yoyo semirresponsivo por excepción del plata y el negro que lo hacen irresponsivo lo cuál es interesante pero no me veo usándolos casi nunca. La selección de colores de luz es un tanto extraña porque se incluye un color llamado blanco que en realidad se ve amarillo y también amarillo y anaranjado pero no hay verde ni cían ni magenta, los cuales se pueden apreciar en la modalidad multicolor.

Very good toy to play with

Absolutely awful product first thing it came broken, the lights don't work which was the entire reason for purchase because my kids don't light up. Honestly your better off gluing a light to a wooden yoyo. It's definitely more fun.

Super Teil, das eine Menge Spaß macht. Zahlreiche Farbvarianten, die für jede Halbschale individuell einstellbar sind. Fünf verschiedene Spacer, um die Lücke und den Response auf den eigenen Geschmack und Spielstil einzustellen. Nach etwas herumprobieren habe ich die für mich passende Konfiguration gefunden und jetzt macht das Teil im Dunkeln richtig Laune. Kauftipp.

The flashing lights really elevate this in terms of fun. It’s nicely built & is easy to set up.I know it’s a bit more pricy compared to toy shops, but it’s miles better than our last one (which broke). I can see it lasting longer too.
