I had the Wavysea's for a bit. Yeah IIRC they just stopped turning after a power failure.

As far as I could tell, Wavysea and Mocean's are identical. What *maybe* be different is the little motor...

So can I have all the Vertex carbon from Concept for free? Since clearly nobody actually needs it... I wouldn't want you to sit on all this useless stock taking up space. I'm very helpful that way.
