is it just me or does that look disgustingly disgusting?

7x7x7!!! Maybe I will get one for Christmas after all.
I think shipping makes it cheaper?

For us living in the U.S, it's only a 7 or 8 dollar difference (as of now). If the value of the Euro changes, we could save even more, but it's better to buy from Verdes.
Not sure about Europe, though.

It's not meant to be a speedcube, it's more of a multi-picture frame. It does turn, though.

Just got my black megaminx, after a slight wrist injury from turning it a few times I sprayed some CRC in it and it MELTED the plastic. xD Pieces were fused together and it took alot of force to twist some of the sides, so I took it apart and sprayed all the peices. It turns alot better now, but one of the sides fell off when i was twisting it, fixed that with some locktite.

I also lubed the white pyraminx and it instantly went from pretty bad to GODLY.

New DX cubes:

http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18534 "Quality Smooth Speed-Cube 4x4x4 Brain Teaser Magic IQ Cube"
and
http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18533 "4x4x4 Brain Teaser Magic IQ Cube"

Anyone think the Quality one is an Eastsheen, they measure 6cm, which is roughly 2.4inches, these ones are 2.36 inches Very tempting if it is.

The 1st one I'm not sure about, but the 2nd one is definitely an Eastsheen because of the purple/pink stickers.

But the first one has the correct dimensions while the 2nd does not...

Maybe DX switched them by accident, even the weight doesn't match the cube. The 2nd one has hollow edges but the 1st one doesn't. Hollow edges + purple stickers = Eastsheen.

I just ordered from dx and I was wondering how accurate their ETA is, as I am leaving soon after that date, and want to know if I can take my cubes on the trip!

 

[Spyyder]

Both the pyraminx and megaminx i ordered arrived exactly 18 days after I ordered them. EMS would probaby be faster though. I have some r/c heli's coming from then, its been two weeks so far so hopefully they'll come in the next few days. =x

 

[AlanAlanine]

what do each of the order statuses mean? first it said waiting for supplier. now it says order received -- in stock.

does that mean it's getting packaged and flying out soon? I can't wait for my cubes...

I've never ordered from DX, but I'll use my common sense to try to answer your question.

Waiting for Supplier: That means the item you want is not in stock, and DX is waiting for the supplier of that cube to get it to DX

Order Received - in stock: That means the people who work at DX have read your order for your items that you want to buy. And now your items are in stock.

 

[Spyyder]

im pretty sure there is a link on the order status page that tells u what it all means, but "waiting for supplier" means that they requested the item from their supplier when u placed the order, so I don't think they keep a warehouse stocked with the items on their site.

For my school cubing club, we bought 6 DIY 3x3s and 2 5-pack keychain 2x2s.

I bought a ES 5x5 for myself in that order.

My teacher bought a white 4x4 from Meffert's.
