Best place to buy SlikStik Tornado
« on: January 03, 2007, 08:32:26 am »
Where's the best place to buy these? Oddly enough the best price I found so far was $71 for the spinner and rougly $18 for the knob from Happs's website.  I'm buying 2 of them so I guess if no one know's a better place I'll just buy them from Happs.

If HAPPS has them in stock (Phone in for that) I would go for those, $90 seems to be the avg price for them and their worth every penny IMO.

If HAPPS does not have them in stock I'm not too sure about going with SlikStik direct, lately they have been tripping up on their customer service (shipping related).

Worst case scenario, get a TurboTwist 2 from Groovy Game Gear.

What makes it a better spinner?  Looks wise I prefer the look of the Tornado's standard knob.

Way higher resolution, easier to mount, looks more durable. You can use the same knob on either spinner - the mount is the same. Check out the specs:

Also, check out this knob:

I have not used the Tornado but I do use the Turbo Twist 2 daily and I love it.  It was as easy to install as installing a button...
