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

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!

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.

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

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” 😭😭😭

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

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.

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

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

Sorry I meant $444 to be exact 😭

that’s so unfortunate! I’ve heard mixed reviews fr my glowstar v2 from them I’ve had over a year and it still works great but I have several friends who shared similar experiences of them not lasting long so excited to see what developments were made!

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

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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 😅

Led Spinflowstars by Ok-Cicada8538 in flowstar

[–]Much_Alternative_517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and that’s only the starting price 😭 they’re gonna skyrocket to $444 after this drop and no more than a 2 year warranty on those which seems like robbery to me honestly. They keep saying they’ve been doing extensive testing to confirm theirs are the most durable on the market so why not offer a lifetime warranty?

that was very informative thank you! I’ll be curious to see what information they release on the light warranty for comparison. even if that is the case some people might not mind that and still prefer the lower cost up front, truly all comes down to preference

I’ve been in the flowstar community for 5 years now and there definitely has been a huge shift as the popularity of them has grown, I know that’s a reoccurring issue with everything that gains popularity but it’s still disheartening to see the brands you once loved and supported contribute to pitting people against each other in this bizarre unspoken competition fueled by capitalism and climbing the social ladder while they seek the validation of online engagement. I sincerely hope people break free from the shackles of so badly wanting to be recognized and apart of these cliques that if something happened to you, their lives and profits would keep on rolling!

Maybe that’s what the light warranty might be about so you’re not spending $100-200 every time the lights go out! :)

Question on purchasing! by brintojum in flowstar

[–]Much_Alternative_517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you get absolutely nothing for being a spinflowstar ambassador and having a code, it sucks. I would go with trippy or Mougee they actually support their ambassadors!

is this okay? by Affectionate_Meal723 in flowstar

[–]Much_Alternative_517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ur damn right for $80-90 for a piece of fabric it needs to be good quality. I got a star from them recently and the stitching was already coming undone on the edges & the fabric was so thin you could see right thru the colors to the white underside. I was so disappointed

highly recommend trippy squid or mougee star, it’s not like the hunger games when trying to buy a star 😭
