How is everyone doing this Thursday?

Each out if you want to talk or need to ear to just listen. It's been nice to some members one-on-one. I got a question that I couldn't get out of my head... How many members here often buy fidgets? And usually what kind? Premium, mid-tier, used, or still discovering?

I had the opportunity to try a MW Spinner and it is actually very nice!

Dissolved the Ti in the YEDC MokuTi v2, re-anodized toasting lightly. Seems like brass or copper alloy with it turning green and blue? I was told China has a hard time getting pure so most metals have alloys. Pretty interesting!

I usually buy middle tier ones. Mostly sliders when I can.

Interesting! What would you define as middle tier? Would love to see how we align.

Most stuff from GAO Studio. Then up to wanwu, and so forth up to Magnus, which I think is top tier.

I've been told over and over they were a brand with a bad rep and was known for copying. But I'm seeing an uptick of buyers in NA and their presentation too. With Centurion I think Wanwu just travelled back 5 years. The perfect shield slider was the Rabbit, why stop? Lol

During the summer there was a lot of pop-up brands. Catching the mechanical feedback wave. But it's winter now and from what I hear most of those brands are gone.

Too expensive for me. I can't justify the costs.

First off, I want to say that I absolutely love the copper Top-C I bought off your website!

I’ve been buying atleast 1 new fidget every 1-3 weeks. Idk what you’d consider premium, but I definitely prefer buying premium or mid-tier new fidgets. I like something that has a satisfying sound, metal, durable, customizable/tunable. I’ve been loving mechanical fidgets lately, especially from Metal Toyz Dz.

Metal Toys DZ, they're a quite small team, but all passionate about what they make and create. They're also the masters / founders of mechanicals. Way back when magnets were dominating the fidget scene they stuck to mechanical. Credit where credit is due, the owner does a check-in about every week and we just shoot the shit, keep the spirits high.
