Okay, guys, i'm annoyed.
This cube is sick. Honest, assembling it is a NIGHTMARE.
After 1h, i finally got somewhere.
Well, i sneezed.
FMCL.

I'll try again after i'll finish my drama coursework ;)
 
When I first read this thread I thought either an ES or a YJ... I was kinda hoping for the latter.

It took me about 2 hours to put my ES back together the first time... and after I got it back together, I bought a mini QJ to avoid further frustration.

:confused: YJ's are easy to assemble.

really? the v-cube KO one? I mean, I've heard its the same as the 6x6, which isn't too hard, but I'd imagine if it was handed to someone new, in a bag, they might be like... wtf?
 
I've reassembled ES 4x4 a couple times, and both occasions were painful. Next time I might try that idea of putting one spindle arm straight down into a hole; without doing so, it is tough to keep the bottom layers from spilling outward as you build upward. (I leaned some things around the sides to help avoid the spillage.)

It's also frustrating to find it totally locked up, which can happen if an "inner border block" or "inner side block" becomes placed incorrectly. (Terminology from http://cubefreak.hp.infoseek.co.jp/eastsheen444.html.)
