I had an entire crappy collection of all WCA puzzles except clock and some non-WCA stuff. I have since 'revised' my entire collection, except for skewb. The first non-crappy cube I got was the YJ MGC 4x4. It has since lost many lost internals and pops all the time.

The new MoYu skewb is super nice, I would totally recommend it.

Thanks, I'll consider buying it if I'll ever bother buying a new skewb. (I don't do skewb so that may take a while. If I do skewb, it is skewb BLD to see if I haven't forgotten my method for that)

You can do SKEWB blind too? That is insane.

My first good cube was also an RS3M 2020, it was a good gateway cube to the world of speedcubing.

QOTD: What is the biggest accomplishment you have had in cubing?

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

QOTD: What is the biggest accomplishment you have had in cubing?

Solving a 7x7 blindfolded before even succesfully solving a 4x4 blindfolded. Untimed memo (probably around 5 hours lol) because it was divided into several 'memo-sessions', and the exec took a little over 40 minutes.
