'Duncan Firewheels' were the hot favourite here in the UK, I loved them!! 8)
Do, or do not! There is no 'try'!
RC; Boats, Buggies, Trucks, Bash's, Racing and of course 'VINTAGE'!

I remember for a period there (early 90's?) Yo-Yo's were all the rage. The two best ones I had were a Duncan Butterfly and a Duncan Midnight Special. Never mind doing tricks as I had a hard enough time just making them come back up. :lol:
