More info on the drop today, from Lindsey!

Hello BilletSPIN! Couple of things I want to mention before the big launch:

1. Spin bases are under 'Gear' Category

2. If you place multiple orders, we will not combine and refund part of the shipping

3. Good luck!

And the Infinity has launched...

As predicted, the superconductors sold out immediately - first the steel stem then the copper stem. The steel was under 3 minutes and the copper a minute later...

Then the 3 color mokumes sold out a little later - the copper stem at 7 minutes and the brass stem at 12. Really, that was longer than I expected them to last...

Then the spin stations, the 5" sold out in like 4 minutes while, as of this writing 16 minutes after launch, the 4" is still available. Granted there were a lot fewer of the 5" available, I stilll think that's a pretty good indicator of which model will be more popular, despite the higher price...

I got the 4inch base and the W/AL top! I wanted a good base to spin on and I have to beat @Rich Stadler time of 18 minuets!!

Personally, I scored a 3 color mokume with a brass stem. Not because it was the only one left, it was the one I was targeting from the first second of launch. I'd like a superconductor something someday, but I assumed I'd only have one shot at one of the exotics and I figured the superconductors would be too limited and competitive to have a chance. And I like the mokume.

I was initially drawn to the copper stem on the mokume, but as I looked at them more, including the vid, I changed my mind. The brass just seems to blend with the mokume better, though they both blend in their own ways...

I checked out as fast as I could, didn't waste time trying to add more items, expecting to fail anyway. Was gonna get a W / Flamed Ti when I failed. To my surprise, I didn't. So then I went for a 5" spin station. They were still available when I added it to my cart but sold out before I could complete checkout, so I failed there.

Ironically, since the mokume / brass lasted a whole 12 minutes, had I targeted the spin station first then gone after the top, I might have scored both... But that's ok, there'll allegedly be more in the indiegogo, and if I miss out there, too, I'll live...

Overall I'm happy. Satisfying launch.
