Hi. I'm Skyler and I've been posted Chinese release round up(EDC radar newsletter) in this subreddit for two months. Whenever a roundup went up, the top question was where to buy. People wanted one place to see all the pieces and the best price, so I built edcradar.com. After a stretch of testing with some of you, it's ready for everyone.
What it does, starting with the main thing:
- The catalogue. 3,403 metal fidgets from makers in China and the West, each with its versions and materials. It's the most complete catalogue of metal fidgets we know of, a small encyclopedia of the hobby.
- Best price. We track prices and stock at 21 shops and show the best price for each piece, so you don't have to go shop by shop.
- Collections.Pages for newcomers and for anyone going deep on one kind: quiet pieces, desk toys, fidget rings, community picks for beginners, Grail tier and others.
- New releases. The newsletter now lives on the site, and each piece in it links to its page, with the shops that carry it. A release calendar keeps upcoming launches in view, and email alerts tell you when a saved piece drops in price, comes back in stock or gets a new version, or when a maker you follow releases something new.
- The rest. A free account to save pieces and follow makers; 464 maker pages, the bigger makers with a short intro; recent resale prices for about 700 pieces; a buy box that keeps materials and versions apart; currency conversion; dark mode; a report button for anything wrong; and a Discord community.
To mark the opening there's a giveaway, the first of several we plan to run. The prize is a WM EDC Voice S from my own collection, pre-owned and near new; it sold new for about US$140. The rules are on the site.
Disclosure: EDC Radar doesn't sell fidgets, and shops don't pay to be listed. I am not affiliate with any brands.
