Thoughts on puzzle:

I ordered a blue 3x3x3 DIY and it came with the free gift of a glow in the dark 3x3x3, I assembled and tensioned both of them almost exactly the same, then lubed and broke them in. The blue one is pretty great, it is definitely a step up from a store bought cube but it is not by any means stellar, after breaking in it is pretty hard to pop, turns smoothly and can cut just under half a cubie. The glow in the dark one is terrible, it never pops but it is like turning a brick, and it grinds and squeals and feels terrible at all different tensions, I shelved it as a novelty cube

Where the puzzle was purchased: Some random online cube store in South Korea
When the puzzle was purchased: Summer 2011
Thoughts on the puzzle: It was my first ever speed cube,(except the Rubik's I lubed), and I avged about 50 seconds on it. I can solve using this cube in about 20 seconds (I avg 15).
Clicky, but not as much as A5. It also has the solid feeling of FIII with the clicks.
Great cube for beginner~intermideate(avg 35 sec), but definitely look for other cube once you get faster than about 35 seconds as each type of cubes have their own limits.
