Can you tell me if the "Luxurious" set includes a black set of sculpted tiles?

Cool, good luck.

Unfortunately mine appears to have a set of convex tiles and three sets of plane tiles! Perhaps someone packaging in the factory had a little too much liquid lunch lol

I did that... and I could not make it work. Same happens to a lot of people but you can try, as you will only be wasting like $5 or so in cables.

Mine did. I bought it also at thepuzzlestore.uk.

I'm somewhat relieved you've given me a heads-up regarding the size of the WeiShi before I ordered one. The stability does sounds promising though. Maybe one day I'll splash some cash on it...

Just got another 6x6 PB single but this is my first ever within the UK cut - 4:54.37. Finished with PLL parity into a T-perm. Amazed that I've managed to get a 6x6 PB single under the UK cut before I've managed to get one for 5x5.
Will be difficult to repeat this at the comp, but am feeling like I've just passed a massive barrier. Heading out to meet pals and will celebrate with a pint.

Already been in touch with Marty who will get me some spare tiles from Qiyi. He also has the WuQue's on order, being Qiyi's new 4x4. Cannot wait for that one.
@Shaky Hands - What an awesome single, so pleased for you mate and getting that before the 5x5 one shows great aptitude for larger puzzles
Yup The WeiShi is huge mate. Oh, oh so stable but huge. Unfortunately I just cant solve on black anymore and will have the black one up for sale at Brum Open. Just about to post it on the comp thread.

@Shaky Hands Wow! Superb single. I'm still a noob at 6x6 with probably not more than 20 solves on my belt on the Yuxin 6x6 but my best time is like 7:20.xx at the moment I hope to improve but sub-5 seems so far from possible for me right now. What's your 5x5 PB and normal UK cut?
@Selkie, are you going to buy every cube that comes out? Now, seriously, I would consider buying the WuQue if it was 60mm so, hoping for a mini version of it

ut?
Thanks. The usual UK average cut is 2:30. I think my PB at home is the 2:36.55 I got in a recent 5x5 Race thread so I'm close to it.
Chris is correct when he says that it's possible to make sudden and significant improvements at 6x6. Good luck with your own efforts at this puzzle.

What is it about November? 3x3 single WR (or three) and PBs for everyone!
@teacher77: Congrats on the milestone! Any idea what was different about that solve or what you've been working on that got you there?
@Jason Green: Yeah, I figured out Pyraminx on my own as a teenager but haven't touched one since. I don't think I'm gonna mess with Skewb before the comp even though I have one, I'll save that debut for later. A lot of work reaching sub 20, not to mention getting an official one, so I can't blame you one bit for skimming the thread for a while.
@pipkiksass: Nice bit of nostalgia. Is that a Zhanchi in the first vid? Looks like it but I wasn't sure if the logo was right.
How can I do this? I've seen it in other peoples' vids but could not find the option for the life of me.
I've been comfortable just using keyboard entry in csTimer with the Stackmat, pretty quick to enter 'em with the 10-key and I still get the stats and scrambles. Also, just... wow on the 6x6 progress
I have a stickerless WuQue on pre-order. Also would prefer a 60mm version but I just had to get in early to see if I like it as much as the 5x5.

That's why I have cstimer just display "solve"

Bummer... sounds like you need to talk to someone about a refund

Well done @Shaky Hands Your success is tempting me to get a decent 6x6 but maybe I should get decent at 5x5 first? I've probably done fewer than 5 solves on 6x6.
My single is nearly a year old and I think I set my average on Xmas day but I'm game for joining the November PB club.
Option -> Timer -> Update change it to none.

I'm sure that sub 2:30 at 5x5 is also within reach for you. You are faster than me on average at 5x5 and, all of a sudden, I dropped 10 seconds my PB single the other day and got (barely) below 2:30 so if I could you also can.
I checked my 6x6 session on csTimer with all the times I got since I bought the Yuxin 6x6 and I lied to you
I have solved it 27 seven times already. Best Ao5 in the session is 7:59.xx so I'm super-duper-fast 
Turning with so much care to avoid popping that dang thing is not the best way to get good times. But I'm not going to put all the blame into slow turning, I have to admit that my center building on anything larger than a 5x5 is basic at best, even at 5x5 (and 4x4) I have plenty of room for improvement.

Thought about buying a Guhong for my collection but, as I started speedcubing with a Zhanchi in late 2013, it would not be because of nostalgia, just because I must to buy them all
But it's going to end up in a drawer with all my unused puzzles so it's a bit of a waste.Maybe it is worth getting one of those then. I'd kill to replace purple or blue with black. Otherwise I really like that mega.

Just did a 7x7 solve and it must have taken half an hour. It was painful.
