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 ? :P

Get the amber one with the glowing LEDs. it is awesome !
