Truly spectacular
It's Beautiful! Even a little nicer in person than in the pix. Great colors.Spins easily and smoothly for a good long time, like 5-6 mins plus! (my record so far is 6:12). Long enough to have forgotten I spun it, and then be startled by the noise of it stopping. lol(I spin 'em on a magnifying bathroom mirror I got for $3 here on Amazon.)The weight is perfect: on the heavier side, but not overly heavy. Plenty of momentum, but still not hard to spin. (I think another reviewer called it a "nice beginner top" for this reason}I have a number of other tops, but this is my total favorite so far. It definietly looks the best, and is very satisfying to spin.I previously got one of their Roswell tops, and really enjoyed it, so thought I'd "splurge" and get the fancy one too. Glad I did, it's dope. The Height 611 is bigger, heavier, and spins a little longer than the Roswell.It's definitely worth the 20 bucks to get it with the color, if that's of interest to you.

Great for the money but still could improve
The media could not be loaded. I am giving it 5 starts because it looks so great and it is much easier to spin than the Cussac that I have. It is very stable one spinning and the grip on the handle is much improved over earlier versions. But the grip could be better with smaller teeth and the size is large and heavy so I never feel like I am getting all the momentum into it that I could have. And when I try it ends up floppy or flying off in a way that smaller more balanced tops never do. Maybe that is just my lack of technique but some of my other tops can be much easier to spin for sure. I have included a video of boththe Height 611 and the Cussac here for you to see what I mean. I generally get 3-4 minute spins from it. I could see it breaking 5 with some more practice. Bottom line is that it is a great top for the money. It looks fantastic and spins well. The legend is cool and it would make a good gift. It is also an improvement over the older line of UFO Tops. But there is still some room for improvement. I gave it 5 stars because it is excellent for the price. But if the price goes up then I would lower the stars to 4.

A large and weighty top that spins well.
It spins a lot easier than my ForeverSpin, but the handle came loose when it arrived. It was easy to tighten, but showed that it wasn't a single piece, like my ForeverSpin. That being said, it is well-balanced and spins quite well for me. It is also a lot bigger and heftier than I was expecting. It also stays inside my glass base, which the ForeverSpin doesn't, when the spinning stops.

Super impressive - Better than expected
At first I was shocked at how light it was even given that it was aluminum. The fit & finish exceeds expectation. The details on the body were flawless. But all that doesn't matter if it doesn't spin well right? So I spun it, and spun it again, and yet again. Each time truly blown away with the time. Even after many minutes and clearly slowing it just keeps going ..I can look away for minutes and turn back and it is still going. I am spinning on a nice a glass surface of course, but still the balance & tip are amazing.I also truly appreciate the extremely clever UFO theming, which just adds to the overall value and makes these a unique gift. The shag harbor was my fave aesthetic. My only complaint is not having the different color cores available with each. I want a blue core, and that comes on a ship that I don't want the color of. I didn't want a yellow core with shag harbor. So they just need better color mixing for those who don't have deep pockets. Or maybe they will just send me a blue core and I can rave even more!Regardless of color selection these are wonderful tops and a wonderful gift, even for oneself.

Perfect gift
My father was raised not far from Lubbock and would tell me stories about him and his brothers hearing humming and seeing these crafts nesr the same time as Lubbock Lights. 4 brothers, completely different from one another, a pastor, telecommunications worker, ac installer, and a farmer, identical stories.This was to remind me of what they experienced and to remember them. This would make a grest gift, stocking stuffer, great quality, and spins seemingly forever at times. Attention to detail is unlike most things nowadays.

Great top with smooth spin
I purchases the first line of UFO Tops so I bought this one to see what is new. I really like this spinning top. It is so wide that it spins unlike any other top that I have, so smooth. I have attached some pictures.I have several tops from across the Internet from big sellers like Foreverspin to smaller sellers, and I can say that you are not going to find any other spinning tops that are made this well for only $15-20.Also I want to add that I really like the new removable stem. Not only can you unscrew it and change them out with other tops, but thus stem has amazing grip to it. This stem makes it very, very easy to get a good spin on these large tops.

Great beginner top
Not too heavy. 27g. Easy to spin. Light weight and high center of gravity means it doesn't spin for long (5-6mins), but good enough for a top of this price.

Spins great and has some weight to it.
Looks great spins great but has a little wobble to it.
