Hi guys. I heard that not many people know about USSR pyraminx.

awesomes cubes, unfortunatelly too small for my hands

 

[Blindbiker22]

how much are they?

 

[prażeodym]

it is hard to get one now, but they are very cheap mostly. I bought one for 3Euro, I know that someone from Poland was selling it on WC09 with help of vcube stand

Have heard about them, apparently very smooth pyraminxes. You can't buy them anymore though as far as I know. How long is a side?

 

[prażeodym]

it is 7,5cm (~6,5cm high) - in normal pyraminx it is ~10cm side and ~8,5cm high
You can buy them sometimes on polish auction site, or asking some people from old USSR

I bought 2 of these on eBay last year for a decent amount (~$40 i think) They really don't turn too well, and I couldn't quite get it broken in well enough to want to solve, so it now just resides as part of my collection of random cubes. It is also waaaay too small for me

 

[prażeodym]

not all of them turns good one of them I have (the last one from video) I bought from some random guy from school 4 years ago, he took it to school because it was unsolved and he need my help so it doesnt turns good, but it is because of one spring/screw or something (and because of non cuber using I guess). But the other turns very good. 3 people from top 15 from Poland use pyraminx like this

If the colour scheme was standard colour scheme, and you could buy it brand new, I would have this instead of a QJ.

 

[masterofthebass]

The color scheme on pyra is really irrelevant...

 

[prażeodym]

all russian pyramids have very thin plastic titles.

The colour scheme is werid.

I'd buy one off you

 

[prażeodym]

Me unfortunatelly not, it is hard to get one now, and they are preety awesome

 

[masterofthebass]

Already sold one of them to Felix, and I'd rather not get rid of the other one for the same reason you want to buy it

I haven't really touched mine too much. Do you want it?

 

[qqwref]

Yeah, it'd be cool to have one (and maybe it'd fit my hands better l0l).
