I think I’ve given up on trying to find a CP-5. The prices vs condition of the fidget just don’t line up. The CP-X though, I am still talking myself out of. It looks very unique and I would love to add it to my collection, but like you said, it is likely a boring fidget. Do I get it and hope it becomes a pricey collectors item or forget it exists…😅
