Hello all, hope you enjoyed your sleep, or was it that you were in a theater?
Anyway, time to combine these discussions and start looking, planning, and creating.

Well, the PASIV's housing is a Zero Halliburton Premier attache case.
Those run about $650, so I don't think I'll be able to do one any time soon.
I can tell you that the tops where hand lathed steel, and then hammered and slightly patina'd. Later we made CNCed versions that where cast and crew gifts, they all spun very well.
You made them? Any word on reproductions being made?
Nexnox, tell us things!

Just saw the film... an intricate and beautifully crafted masterpiece of one of the most enthralling and original premises in recent cinema (with all that lame talk out of the way.... HOLY ****!)
i'd love to buy 2 to 4 tops if anyone sells for decent price. Not into paying $50+ for the movie promo tops on ebay.
Based on what the cast/crew tops cost apiece, that's a steal.DrMcoy said:
yeah, but based on the fact that these were GIVEAWAYS, then $50+ seems steep to me, especially when others will likely be making these for what I am guessing is half the price.
Of course, if you are into having one with INCEPTION engraved on it, then I imagine it might be worth $50.
Totally want a top form this fabulous flick!
I loved the grooves from the rough hand lathing.
i want all 3!! are they giving them out at comic con this year?
Just noticed that Eames' totem was a forged poker chip.
I rewatched the movie today and paid close attention to the top, I missed it the first time it was shown but watching it very closely there isn't really a design on it but rather a dark imperfection in the lathe process... it looks like a dark line that goes around the top section of the top... the top of the top... weird.
I did notice that the prop top (or prtop) is often replaced with a CG top at times when it needs to spin for prolonged periods of time, but when a geuine prop is used it seemed that the top wasn't perfectly symmetrical there was bit of unevenness between the top point and the bottom... Might've been my eyes.
I was focusing so much on the top I barely could focus on the awesomeness of the movie... just kidding, the movie has so much awesomeness that you can't possibly not be given a handful tossed at you at any given time!
yes westcroft, that ring is definitely there, around the top section near the edge.
I echo everyone's sentiments on wanting one of those tops
anyone have decent pics?
While there where some imperfections from the lathe, some of the heavier lines while spinning are from small pits that have a patina in them.zenix said:
I want one of them tops. "she will be mine, oh yes she will be mine".
what do you all think of the promotional tops? good? bad?
While spinning, from one of the trailers, I think.

I don't think the promo tops are THAT bad. Are they screen accurate? No, of course not. But I think they were decent for what they were supposed to be: a free item designed to promote the movie. Of course, I don't feel they're worth the price that some of them are commanding on eBay. Especially since I have a feeling something similar is going to be included in a "deluxe" DVD set or something, whenever it comes out.
Also of note, here is a video with a decent close-up of a PASIV unit on display:

Can you provide us with some pictures? I would like to know what the arrangement of the pits are.nexnox said:
