Spinning the rotor tonight contemplating which top to get tomorrow!

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...
 
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.
