Precision machined spinning tops...the latest trend!

So everyone with all the info out have you decided on what top or tops you are getting! There is a lot to choose from!!

Should we assume the order of the exotic perks corresponds with the price range, as in perk # low to high = pricing low to high?

That is what I'm assuming.

That is what I'm assuming.

In that case...

The timascus ones are out for me. They may look the best but that's more than I'm willing to cough up and they're likely going to be very competitive, sell out quickly.

Some people like to stick within a certain colorway theme; personally I like to balance out the variety in my collection. I'm a little light in the silver/grey colors right now, so I expect to target one with a collar in that category. #s 34 - 36 (and for different reasons, 37) appeal to me the most from that perspective but, if their order on the list indicates they'll be the most expensive after the timascus, I'm probably out on those, too.

All the mokume ones are out for me; they look good but again it's just trying to balance the material variety in my overall collection.

So if 34 - 36 are out, that puts #s 20 & 21 at the top of my list. I like the damascus as an outer collar better than an inner disk, and I prefer the bigger color contrast with Br (or Cu) than damascus with SS.

But some other one-offs that look pretty sharp are #24, with the Br getting a less polished finish from the etching medium used for the damascus, and #27, with the unique look of the W disc.

Bottom line, I don't really know. Need more time to look at them and see what grows on me. Then availability and price will be factor once they launch.

I'm glad Rich shared all the material combos in advance so we have a chance to ponder them, not have to review them all at the same time everybody's buying them up...

If he was willing to share the specific available quantities in advance, that'd also help narrow down what's worth going after...

The most limited will be the Timascus of course and he touched on this a little in his vid. The fist 15 will be unlimited. The others not so much. I think there will be a good number of the dammy version so if you act fast and know how to use indiegogo you should get one!! It really help to have auto fill set up!!

As for me I'm really wanting a Timascus but price will be a factor in that. I also love the look of number 2 as I don't have anything like that in my collection. I like verity as well and am not tied to some color way over the other.

Yeah the standard materials are a different story. If I miss out on the exotics or pass because of the pricing, I'll have the full two weeks to figure out which standard I want, since they're not limited.

I see that was posted on the previous page. Derp! Not sure how to delete my post.

No worries...

Which combo are you going after?

I'm really liking the blued tungsten.

That combo is very cool looking!!
