Hello World!

Well, the 2007 World Yo-yo Contest is over and Alchemy Yo-yos is now officially in existence. It feels good.

At the 2007 WYYC we launched the CU and had an updated version of Eric's Silk available for sale. Smoother, heavier, even better. (If that is at all possible.) We even allowed people to try prototypes of the Nimbus, which if the earth, moon and stars all play along should be available in the next 2-3 weeks. Feedback has been extremely positive and we look forward to letting this model loose on an unsuspecting public.

More CUs will follow shortly afterwards - yes, that is right, we sold out the first production run. It went a bit quicker than we expected, but we also have to carry some of the blame - due to some miscommunication between us and the machine shop, we only got half of the units we wanted to make available at the contest. To make a long story short, everything we had available sold out in the first 2 hours. Not bad for a little stainless steel wonder.

Alchemy has signed up 3 additional retail stores at the contest, which brings the number of retailers that will carry our products to 8. This means that we cover a large part of the globe, with retailers in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa eager to receive their shipments.
