I'm looking to buy a cube, stickers and some lube for any price and I will wait for as long as it takes to ship to my home.

Please recommend a site.
 
I get my DIY cubes from cube4you.com, my stickers from cubesmith.com, and my lube from cubelube.com. They are all pretty good, cubesmith has fast shipping for cheap (only $2 with orders under $15, otherwise free), but cube4you has slower, more expensive shipping since it is from china. However I think that they offer really good quality. Cubelube.com has great lube, not sure about speed, but I know the lube is good stuff :P
 
How is Cube-Fans-Shop?

i dont know the shipping there.

But i know my shipping from puzzle proz was FAST!

less then a week.

also, i buy my stickers from www.Cubesmith.com I use tiles(no texture)

and my lube is just CRC brand heavy duty silicone from walmart.
 
Theres a kid at my school who goes by Box..and he can solve the cube. Real name is Tony. Haha weird.

I get my cubes from cubeforyou with good quality and then I get my stickers from cubesmith. My lube is Gunk, but its effect only lasts for like a day.
 
Cube-fans shop has nice items, I have my 2x2, 4x4, 5x5, and megaminx from him. As for his actual DIY cubes, I think I trust cube4you.com more. CRC silicone spray works great. As for stickers, cubesmith is the way to go, but I use tiles.
 
I think I will go with cube4you.

There are 2 white diy cubes.

I heard 1 of them has some kind of cap the you should glue so it's unpopable?

Also will cubesmith stickers fit on all cubes?

Since when is blue also unpopable? and they really aren't unpopable i didn't think i thought they were just pop resistant.
Edit: I just did a little search around Cube4you and the only one I saw was white. It will say "new type" if it is the pop resistant kind.

Well, they can certainly pop if you don't put the extra little piece in. I don't know why they didn't make it so that they actually fit. I got 7 in, but then the rest didn't fit, so I just assembled it, but then one of the ones that were in popped out, so I just took them all out. It takes a LOT of effort to get them to stay in. You have to push really hard with your thumb.

I got all of mine in and they stay in all the time. the trick is to set the small plastic latch piece down on a hard surface and put a couple dabs of superglue on the edge piece and just push the edge piece down onto the plastic tab until it pops in.

ps. I bought the crc silicon spray from wal-mart and it makes the cube feel "sticky" to me (the turning motion, not the actual cube)
 
Well, the point was for them to make it so gluing wouldn't be necessary. Either that, or they shouldn't need these extra parts to make it troublesome. They should already be in place. It's not like you'd want to put anything inside the cubie.
 
yeah, I agree you shouldn't have to do so much assembly on each little cubie but it is really nice once you get them all in.
 
It gives you a good sense of satisfaction when your done though =-)

As for you mkriegs, type exactly what your can says on it so I can make sure you bought the right CRC. Also, did you clean your cube before you lubed it? How long have you had the cube?
 
My store bought cube has never popped, ever, and it moves quite nice, but i was also considering buying some DIY kits, but living in the uk makes shipping a pain :/ so i don't know where to buy from
