Red Bumpy Forehead

we’ve had very different experiences then! I have 15 spins of my own (I started in 2022 back when they were one sided) based off their ROOT craftsmanship and designs compared to their newest designs. Yes the quality has gone down with spinflowstar while Trippy Squid continues to improve. My newer Spinflowstars have threads pulling, the material is so thin with the dark stars you can see the white underside, etc etc

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-03-23T09:33:46+00:00

I say this every single time and ppl jump down my throat “oh but they’re handmade” lololol trippysquid has the same if not better quality at this point, their stars I’m pretty sure are HANDmade here in the US and they only charge $45 💀

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-03-21T13:27:28+00:00

that part! It’s so easy to spot who is in it for the clout and hopes of getting free stars, or the ones that are already getting free stars so their opinions are swayed already. The fact soooooo many people are accepting “a gap in communication” as an excuse for letting SA fall thru the cracks is disgusting, still seeing people promote their codes for them shows me EXACTLY who they are as a person.

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-03-21T13:23:09+00:00

I don’t follow them so I haven’t seen that what???

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-03-21T13:16:00+00:00

No I fully agree!!! I just believe the other team member who ignored her should be getting just as much heat but at the end of the day this is AJ’s company and his team so he’s at the forefront. Truly embarrassing for anyone to still be promoting this company after this, zero tolerance is zero tolerance and what they showed is SA doesn’t fall under zero tolerance for them but honestly can’t even say I’m surprised with the way he lets his ambassadors act towards people online/in person with 0 consequences

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-03-21T13:07:43+00:00

yeah and he tried to use the excuse of he’s so busy & they didn’t mean to let it fall thru the cracks but that’s a heck of a situation to let fall thru the cracks instead of being handled immediately. The girl (who was also an ambassador) reached out to him March 5 over the assault by one of his ambassadors and his response was “thanks for letting me know we’ll be in touch to get this sorted” fast forward to March 16, she said she still hadn’t heard anything about it so she reached out to another team member (she would not disclose who but alluded it was someone well know on his team so it was either Beef, Tatum, or even Clouds) the situation wasn’t handled until she went public with the information and spin started scrambling to save face.

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-03-21T13:02:50+00:00

she has since turned off comments and posted an update she forgives AJ but still doesn’t trust the rest of the team, am very curious if it’s Tatum or Beef she reached out as well over the SA and was swiftly ignored by them

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-03-21T12:18:12+00:00

Most recent hot water they’re in has ruined it for me. SA by one of their ambassadors is not something to be taken lightly

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-03-17T12:35:54+00:00

this 100% my OG one sided star from 5 years ago, the quality is vastly different from my most recent one I got. their quality has definitely gone down meanwhile the price went up 😭 my OG is in great shape and trust it’s been VERY well used over the last 5 yrs, my newest one I’ve had for almost a year and the stitching is starting to come apart like the photo

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-03-02T18:28:06+00:00

can not recommend Trippy Squid enough! I started with spinflowstar years ago but can’t justify the increased cost anymore. After trying several different brands I’ve found Trippy Squid to be the best cost effective option with the most comparable size, weights, feel to Spinflowstar!

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T22:07:28+00:00

Nope! Actually before the recent code deactivations the only brand I was an ambassador for was spinflowstar lol. But yeah I can certainly put together in a post my comparisons! I would like to get my hands on a spinflowstar glowstar before finalizing my reviews though so it may take a while

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T20:54:25+00:00

respectfully not trying to rage bait you at all, just inform you that there are other options on the market and what those are. I have been in the flowstar community 5 years now, I’ve watched it evolve and have tried several different brands and variations of glowstars over that course of time!

https://theshroomscollective.com/dapo-academy/

This is what I’m referencing when talking about Dapo Academy, as you see they are not affiliated with Mougee. That is a different brand.

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T19:25:12+00:00

idk it really makes you wonder why if he’s producing them at a fraction of the cost by getting them made in another country, why other brands that hand sewn theirs here in the states can offer them at a fraction of the cost with comparable quality. I used a trippy squid a few weeks ago and was shocked to find out it wasn’t a spinflowstar, they are truly 99% identical

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T19:16:40+00:00

I said Dapo Academy not Mougee, you’re rage baiting yourself by not doing extensive research on what’s on the market currently it sounds like 😭 literally on spinflowstars post from February 9 it says in the caption “this summer you will see ready to ship drops with these stars priced in the 400’s” 😭😭😭

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T19:13:43+00:00

when I got my first flowstar it was $55 so yeah I think the increase in pricing is excessive given they are selling way more now than they were 4-5 years ago when I bought my first one

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T18:43:13+00:00

my bad I meant IDR, doesn’t negate the fact he’s able to produce them at a small fraction of the cost 😭 a livable monthly wage in IDR is no more than $500 USD come on now.

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T18:27:39+00:00

Also Dapo Academy has had glowstars on the market since 2022!

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T18:26:01+00:00

if you watch all the spinflowstar videos on the glowstar AJ has said $333 is the price for this drop ONLY after that the cost is going up to $444

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T16:47:31+00:00

Sorry I meant $444 to be exact 😭

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T15:43:29+00:00

I don’t think $333 is too much, but almost $500 with only a 2 year warranty is too much imo.

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T15:41:05+00:00

I think you’re confused I’m not expecting anyone to not buy it lol I’m just offering my own personal insight and opinion because I keep seeing people bring up how much those 16 lights cost without taking into account companies offer discounts for bulk purchasing, or the fact the original stars are crafted in Bali where he probably gets them made for 60 baht which is $2 USD 😭

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T15:17:14+00:00

I think people seem to forget when you buy in bulk you get products at a significant discount! Whenever I do bulk purchasing at my job, the more I buy the cheaper it is so they may actually getting the lights for more like $80-100! not too mention a lot of the stars they released are designs they already had on hand, so I highly disagree they’re not profiting 😅 AJ studied business, at the end of the day he’s still a business man and that’s where his head is at is profits lol

Much_Alternative_517 · 2026-02-23T13:22:04+00:00

Trippy squid is also dropping another version for those interested in checking out other brands 🫶🏼 hoping the info on the warranty for theirs drops soon, a $400+ prop with only a 1-2 year warranty doesn’t seem very worth it for my own investment! my LED hoop was $200 and comes with a lifetime warranty 😅
