Many thanks! Watched the video. This is exactly what I was looking for! No one really goes deep dives like you do. I really love my TG Skytower and your video would help me repair it. Btw, I am a fan of pivot sliders. Which do you enjoy more: Skytower vs Lollipop?

As always, your reviews are the best. Thank you. I love my TG Skytower. However, the rotating module that holds the magnets got unscrewed. I attempted several times to reinstall the magnets but got frustrated because they keep jumping off the tracks. Is there a better way to do it? Kindly help. (Btw, where can I buy those metal blocks that are used to rest the fidgets during installation of magnets?)
Thanks you. I should have done a more thorough review of this one.. Looking back, I barely took it apart at all, and I entirely skipped over the middle rotating piece.. I decided to make a new short video showing full DISASSEMBLY of the Sky Tower 👍🙂 Here's a link to the new video ⤵️ ruclips.net/video/2f0x_Dvz8YI/видео.htmlsi=Uh-v4XhxOf8y0h3m

I originally bought mine from an online store that I can't remember.. If you search AliExpress for "GAO SQUARE" you will find several stores offering them, but I can't tell you who to trust.. I originally paid something like $90-$100 for mine. But now, you find them anywhere from $12 to $82, or even more. If you do find one, it should come with two sets of magnets. A large set and a smaller set. If I were you, I would shop around AliExpress and look closely at all of the photos before you decide to buy. I wouldn't hesitate to ask questions before you buy, as well.. Most stores usually reply pretty fast. Good luck 👍🙂
