Bad 4x4 Ideas

[GoldCubes29]

Okay so I have this cheap knock-off 4x4 that I somehow got. Since my new ShengShou 4x4 is coming in the mail soon, I'm stuck with this useless, terrible 4x4 in my collection. I need ideas on what to do with it or how to make my bad 4x4 useful. I have already tried trading it at a competition for a 1x1 or something, nobody was interested. I have included a poll so you can get involved and share your ideas. Thanks.

Glue all the pieces together and make a giant 1x1.
(Just kidding, at some point in your cubing life you'll buy a cube that you don't like, so do what you like with it. Modding takes a lot of time and skill.)

erm.
You are confusing me.

For what I've heard, the cyclone boys you have isn't that bad at all. So you seem to just have some bad luck with your cube there. But why on earth did you buy a shengshou to replace it? Shengshou used to be the choice back in the days, but nowadays its outdated by far!
Get a Auxin if you don't want to spend much money or get an MoYu if you have more money to spend. It'll pay off.

No, the Cyclone Boys G4 is the good one. It's 2 mm smaller and turns a heck of a lot better.
And yeah, I agree that shengshou isn't the greatest choice, unless it's a starter cube or something like that. But you might even argue that a GuanSu is a better choice.

If you really hate the 4x4, you probably could destroy it and get a bunch of views. Set it on fire, or get the ol' sledgehammer out

Well, I'm a beginner in 4x4, but the cube I currently have is absolutely TERRIBLE at learning 4x4. So I will get a ShengShou 4x4 (V4 I think) for a beginner like me, and once I get fast, I will buy a more advanced, smoother 4x4.

Also, this product is not made by Cyclone Boys; their logo is nowhere to be found, and it's just pretty bad. Read the one-star reviews, which are what I think of this puzzle straight-up.

I'm gonna be honest; you probably should've bought the better cube from the start. I never understood that whole thing about "beginner cubes." There's really not much of a point in getting a worse cube if you know you'll upgrade later. Why not upgrade right away and save the money you spent on the beginner cube? At least the ShengShou V4 is decent though, so it's not like you're getting another of what you already have.

Either way, what you could do with your current 4x4 is maybe mod it into something cool, or, as suggested above, destroy it. Ooh, I have an evil idea. Scramble it (or, if you really want to bother people, corner twist it or put it a turn away from being solved or something), and then glue it together. Go up to people at comps and be like, "Can you solve my 4x4?" and then enjoy their reactions.

Don't trash it, then its a waste of money. I suggest you improve it, and keep it in case you want to do something like a mod. Just destroying it would get views, but what's the real purpose? You should make it a cool mod IMO

Bandage it. Maybe a 2x2 on one corner.

2x2 on for corners to make an AI cube, a really good puzzle for a collection!

If it is your first 4x4 I suggest you to keep or maybe do a stickermod but not mod it or anything like that because you may destroy it and then you can't use it anymore but I would just keep it only because it was my first.

If it isn't your first you can just mod the inside and sell it or something.
