Tim make sure to bring a Black Dayan Guhong for me so I can buy it off you.

I'll take a Dayan + MF8 4x4 Tim.

Hey Tim, I'll buy another F-II. My friend tried mine and really liked it, so I'll grab another one thanks. Make it Black

Tim Major: I'll take another black Guhong aswell for saturday.

I'll bring all this stuff, plus the stickers I'm giving away with the F2s that I owe people. I'll try to bring some more stuff too, anyone want anything else specifically?

That's 42/6.81 = 6.17 turns/second.
I call BS. Sorry. Next meetup, I'll give you that scramble, I'd like to see you even execute it that fast (you can practise it if you want, just seems so umm... unlikely.)
Also, when/where was this? You posted it in the thread, was it at the RMIT cube comp?

 

[Alcuber]

Not to do with meetups or anything but I found a shop at Chadstone called Games World
They sell:
- Rubik's 3x3 $25 4x4 $30 5x5 360 Slide $50
- Eastsheen 5x5
- Mefferts Pyraminx $25, Jing's Pyraminx and Gear Cube $25
- Daseng 3x3 (looks and feels like a really bad Diansheng) $10
And probobly some other stuff that I forgot about.
EDIT: Added prices. If prices are not there it means that I didn't check

 

[pappas]

Sorry Tim I'm no longer buying a qj pyra, I'm going to get a Merfferts from chadstone. However at the next meetup bring two lanlan 222's one black one white. I'll buy them.

 

[edw0010]

Alcuber, any idea how much the gear cubes are? I want one!!

 

[Alcuber]

They're $25 and kinda stiff but I can get decent times with it. Only available black and stickered

Mefferts wear out fast, and as Alcuber said, are $25. I sell QJs for $9.50
IMO QJs are better (I have both).
But it's up to you
I'll bring the Lan Lans.
@Alcuber: How much are the Jing's Pyraminxes?

Edit: @David: And the little pieces may not have stickers ( http://www.puzl.co.uk/product_thumb.php?img=images/GEAR_CUBE_500.jpg&w=400&h=400 ), unlike Tim's, so they're a lot easier, and not as fun You might need to make your own stickers :s

Sorry I didn't check the price but i'm guessing $25 because all the mefferts puzzles were $25
They might have a website
EDIT: @Edw0010 $25 for a mefferts gear cube (only in black)
EDIT 2: Looks lkie their websiite hasn't been updated for a while.
EDIT 3:

http://www.puzl.co.uk/product_thumb.php?img=images/GEAR_CUBE_500.jpg&w=400&h=400

Is that a gear cube? The one at games world is different

Ahh thats cool, stickers I can worry about once I actually have the puzzle!

It was just a generated scramble from qqtimer, and I was just practicing at home.

EDIT: Was Practicing that scramble again ZB and I got a 6.65

 

[andrewki]

So who's coming to the meetup next saturday then???

I'm probably coming with a friend from school.

 

[JHcubing]

I'm most likely going...

 

[edw0010]

How so?

 

[JHcubing]

How so?

They're exactly the same, except the Gear Cube shown in the photo is White
