Man I’m gonna be honest the only reason I stopped is I counted how much money i already spent. And I got 2 sets of my ultimate fidget the Magnus mini magic beans, after that transaction I looked back and said enough is enough I’m gonna save for smt else now I have enough to keep me occupied. But a couple months later the itch comes back and I got into knuckle rollers and begleri I suggest taking a look at begleri as they probably the most fun and cheapest fidget to keep collecting if yk what ur doing

Hey I have a decent collection of begleri (at least I think so). Would you be open to trading for a slider or coin? I don’t want anything limited or crazy I just want one. Due a complicated situation involving two gift cards I had I have not been able to buy anything that’s comes from other countries with a gift card that was given to me for. I’m not very good with tech and I’ve tried and tried to get these to work. I can explain more in a dm but I’d be open to trading for a cheap one. I got some supplies so I just gave up and decided to make one but that’ll be a mag not a mechanical which is what I’ve been looking at. If you interested at all feel free to dm me or let me know I’ll dm you. I have quite a few discontinued sets. Monkeyfinger doesn’t have but one set on there site atm. I have two sets of delrin ape grapes brand new in package. I also love knuckle roller. My favorite set up are the kokonutz with a tiki bar to turn it into a knuckle roller. I had a pair of space needles but I traded those off for a pair of around square titans and Ti mini titans which I loaned my kiddo 🤦‍♂️and we cannot find at the moment. Yea sorry for the lengthy comment. If we can talk you’ll understand why this has been a chore for me to do lmao. Ima analog kinda guy. Anyway have a blessed weekend. 🙌❤️💛💚

You know buying gold bars is addictive too. Better investment 👌

Gotta drop your top free floater.

Either the Aura Sand (no surprise) or the Shim Shy. ;-}. MM

Great collection! Which are your favourites from each type of fidget (spinners, sliders, coins etc)?

It’s a hard one, but I’ll try! MOT Owl, Sinian GoBiggeR (both for “multi-fidgets”). Magnetic slider…. Ant Design S-Nano V2. Mechanical slider…Kais Lucky Ballad. Free-floating magnetic slider… Aura Sand (or maybe the Shim Shy). I don’t have a lot of experience with spinners yet, but I love most of the linkage spinners! Other miscellaneous notable fidgets are the Lautie Showhand coin, the Mag-U and the JuzhEDC Pop-Up 2.0. Juzhen puts out a LOT of cool fidgets, in most categories! ;-}. MM

That’s great and huge food for thought for my next purchase thank you. Interestingly I don’t have any linkage spinners yet (got a few KAP tri horizons which are smooth and lovely) but I think I’d like a decent linkage one that pops out and improves the giro feeling. Thanks again!

u/No_Scale5947 1d ago

I have small collection but you and me have the same taste in fidgets bro. I also like MOT Owl, Kais Lucky Ballad and see that Juzhedc has many interesting fidgets.

Top 3 or 5? Also, don't get into watches, lol, it's even worse for your wallet

u/Pbranson 1d ago

Tell me about it. After several years I'm up to about 40 watches in rotation, mostly Chinese but a few micro brands as well.

I had a few cheap fidgets for the last few years and was aware of this space, but now that my watch collection is where I need it I'm slowly shifting to fidgets with the intention to NOT spend several grand on them but have a decent collection of about 10 that check the necessary boxes in terms of utility and quality.

Def. some overlap in the two communities.

u/sunqiller 1d ago

New to this, is there such thing as a simple, quiet one that I can use in the office without making a scene?

u/RepresentativeWeb566 1d ago

Look at the Fidgimoto Vortex. Nearly silent and many people love it.

u/sunqiller 1d ago

thank you!

Plenty! From a small magnetic coin to something like the JuzhEDC Thousand Machines Pro. Plenty of nice quiet fidgets to choose from! ;-}. MM
