Massdrop customer care has said "they cannot guarantee" if the list of winners and upgrade will be made public.
Where is the accountability? What if there was no upgrade done and bluebox given out? Who knows?
End result: Foreverspin got more than 200 tops sold with no upgrade and museum giveaway, and Massdrop getting huge commission from them........
Who is listening to these grievances? In future I will never join any of these kind offers. This is surely a SCAM where Massdrop has washed it's hand by saying they cannot guarantee the publication of the upgrade and winners.
What a shame !
I am pretty new to Massdrop. Asking all the experienced Massdroppians....Can we do anything about it?

Just getting back to you, my stainless steel top arrived today... So luck wasn't with me this time.
However, I say "this time" because I actually got some ear buds from another bluebox yesterday and they were an upgrade! So for their part I think massdrop is being honest. That said I suppose it could still vary from vendor to vendor, if they stick to the odds given.

zypherionThank you for your honest reply and I really appreciate it.
Yes the point you mentioned, it is true Massdrop is honest and they will maintain it since they are running a big establishment, but at the same time transparency is the key. Leaving upgrades and Blue-Box decisions on the vendor is not a good idea and anything can happen under the cover...... also taking excuse of "not revealing the identity of the customers" is again an unacceptable excuse.
But glad that you got an upgrade in the other BlueBox drop.
For me, even if I did get an upgrade or BlueBox, I would still ask and support the cause: Transparency......
Thanks Mate :-)

Hey @amdee1979 -- Good question, reposting here from the description: " If you choose to add an optional Spinning Base when joining the drop and are selected to receive this prize after the drop ends, your account will be credited $34."

Here's my review of ForeverSpin Tops from a guy that currently owns 11 of them.
- ForeverSpin tops look terrific (these are the same type of tops used in the movie Inception), but their spin times will be much less than a ball-bearing top. My max spin time is 2:40 with the Bronze Top which is on the heavier side (compared to a 24 minute spin I can get with a BilletSpin Nexus). - The heavier the top, the HARDER it is to spin... but if you get a good spin on it, it'll last that much longer. For example, a Titanium Top will spin much easier than a Nickel Top. But there's one other thing that affects spin time. - How porous is the metal? The easier the top is to grip, the easier it is to spin - that means the brushed Stainless Steel will be easier to spin than the mirror polish Stainless Steel. The Damascus Steel is easier to spin than the Nickel and so forth. - Nickel looks VERY similar to Stainless Steel, but Stainless Steel is slightly more muted when reflecting light. Titanium is the "lightest" looking color - more silver than anything else while Damascus Steel is the "darkest" looking color. - I do not own the Silver top, but if it's polished to the degree the Gold plated top is, it will be extremely difficult to spin and to be honest, I'm not sure if I want to beat up the Silver top if you were to receive it. - The spin base by ForeverSpin is the BEST spin base I've ever used (and I've tried ones from Vorso, Lambda, and BilletSpin). I recommend picking one up no matter what top you get. - Here's one trick I learned when using ForeverSpin tops with the spin base... once the top is spinning, it will probably have some hula hoop (rotating in a circular motion both around the spin base and around the bottom stem of the top). To correct this, simply shake the spin base back and forth very slightly and your ForeverSpin top will stabilize. It works quite well and will increase your spin times for sure.
Comparing these tops together (and yes, I own all of them), I'd rank them in this order from EASIEST to HARDEST to spin:
- Titanium - Brushed Stainless Steel - Damascus Steel - Nickel - Mirror Stainless Steel - Tungsten
tldr? These are terrific display tops with below-average spin times that will introduce you to an assortment of metals which IMO is the coolest aspect.

SterlingBourneNice overview of materials and dynamics. They are definitely a novelty for their classic shape and the various metals used. Put they are not the best performers in the bunch.
I'll second your recommendation on defeating hula hopping. If you can glide the base around to match the motion of the top, it will center quite quickly. This is true of most tops that start off with a poor spin.
I find the base to be just a bit too small, and prefer either the lenses or concave mirrors that have more surface area.

Okay, what's the story with the cancellation of all orders. They said it was, "due to the way the page was set up." What exactly does that mean?

32$+ for aluminium. I don't know what I was thinking buy for most people this was a scam. Foreverspin cares more about branding than giving us our moneys worth. Look at all the junk they put with this block of cnc'd aluminium, All of it has their logo on it, even the cleaning cloth. At least on massdrop some people got accessories and more valuable tops, but really even the tungsten top is probably barely more valuable in raw material than what you paid. This was a gamble, and some of us did lose out.

I'm sure most people received less, and that makes them more profit, assuming people use the cheaper gift cards. I received 15$ off, so it still costs me 20 dollars for the cheapest top.

Ok, I understand how you are upset with their pricing structure. But you knew exactly what you were getting into. Why do you feel slighted when the terms of the drop were laid out very clearly ahead of time?

Metal Museum!! AND my order was upgraded to titanium! Of course they threw in a clip, too. I'm ecstatic. This is the first thing of value I've ever won. Thank you, ForeverSpin!

These tips have absolute horrible spin times compared to just about every other top. Its a waste of money.

Can clock well over 12-15 minutes on several higher-weight bearing ones. That said I do like the classic design of these.

i got mine today and had got it to spin for 2 mins without much effort.
you're being intentionally inaccurate...or you lack the manual dexterity.

I'm starting to get annoyed of these gambling offers. If I want to buy something I'd like to have it and not to pay for a chance to not get it.

ei8htI agree with ei8ht completely, I'm buying into this drop for the possibility of saving some money and receiving something beautiful. I already know I want a ForeverSpin top. If spend I the same amount as I would on their website for their standard aluminum, great, I know what I'm getting. If I happen to win an upgrade, that's a win as I've just saved myself some $, plus it's exciting to roll the dice (or in this case, the numbers in my bank account).
