So - Update - Here's what I have just done...
The spinning top itself looked brand new - It had hardly been played with. It was just the mechanism inside that had gone wrong. So, I carefully opened it up... And, I took a shit in it...
Using the brand new box from the amazon replacement, I closed up the top and resealed it in what appears to be its original wrapping. It looks brand new.
Went back to the shop, where I replaced it on the shelf along with all the other spinning tops. TBH, I couldn't even tell which one was mine...
So, sucks to be the store when they eventually sell it to somebody... Still, as escorpio said above...
