Hey guys,
This is one of the coolest toys I have tried in a while. Once you obtain a consistent spin, it is like Sci-Fi in your hand (alien tech or something).
The other cool thing is to understand the physics of its motion and be able to get it started *without* the cord and *without* any motors. Start it with your other hand only. How good are you ?
Get the amber one with the glowing LEDs. it is awesome !

In any case, I got this thing yesterday as a present and it is fascinating to work with.
