Slikstik Tornado Spinner?
(1/3) > >>
Daviea:
It seems to me that someone else might be making the Slikstik Tornado spinners now, but I can't for the life of me figure out who it is.  I was asked awhile back by a certain vendor to look into making them when Slikstik went belly up, but I wasn't too interested since it's really outside of my core business model , not to mention the fact that I didn't want to be connected to Slikstik in any way considering the way they crashed and burned.  

Anyhow, I keep seeing things which has lead me to believe that the Slikstik Tornado's are being made again.... but who's making them?  I'm really curious to know if someone just took over or if Slikstik sold the rights or something?  Maybe it was part of some elaborate judgment against Slikstik?  Anyone know??  Unless I find out the real story, I'm going to keep making up my own version of the events to tell myself whenever I start to wonder about it.  LOL

Looks like Happ is selling them.

I don't know if they are manufacturing them but I would assume so.

That's what I thought, too....but as they're calling it that, there are questions.....

Happ make their own version of the Slikstik spinner in China.

Industrias Lorenzo also make their version of it. In the case of I-L they simply copied it. I know this as I asked them and thats what they said. It is also alleged that Happ never paid anything for the design either. They definitely didnt pay anything for the electronic part of the design.

Its immaterial really since there are far superior products available now.

My homemade spinner broke last night....just when I was about to install my new knob. :(

I was thinking at first I needed to replace it and would be in the market for a new one, but I can't justify the cost compared to buying a trackball (which I would use WAY more).
