Just wondering.. has anyone else switched mains from the Weilong to anything? I switched to my 54.6mm B/P(rimary) Fangshi from my Weilong.

I still use my Zhanchi a good bit still. I wouldn't call it my main, but it's good enough to be.

I have gone back and fort between Weilong and ShuangRen V2 (original color). But I do get better times with the Weilong. I will receive my original color Weilong this week and I have put all my hopes on that one (untill the CX3 from Cyoubx is available).

I'm still undecided between Shuangren v1, Weilong, and Zhanchi though I haven't restickered my Zhanchi or modded it so I play more with the SR and WL. With all these good cubes coming out, I think I'll wait a bit before ordering again. Yesterday I broke my PB Ao5 with the Weilong though... (by 0.01 lol). I wish I had all the nice cubes out there but it seems silly to own THAT many 3x3s. I don't even have any good higher order cubes.

Silly?
No, life is too short to miss out on the things you really want to do. I have a large number of 3 X3's but use most of them. I love switching between them. Higher order cubes? What is that?

Ok, let me rephrase that. I feel silly owning that many 3x3s. You owning that many 3x3s is really awesome and I'm envious.

I only own 4 speed 3x3s. But I believe them to be the best 4 available.
In order of preference:
Weilong
Guhong v2
HuanYing
Zhanchi (modded)
I'd like a SR but I'll wait til I'm getting other cubes too.

You're not alone there. I feel a bit silly too
I have about 20 3x3s and don't like to explain why to other people! I usually keep them hidden away

Lol I have 3 that are actually usable. 2 are stickerless and pretty bad (guhong v2 and zhanchi). My decent ones are a Weilong, Zhanchi, and Shengshou Wind

Same for me. I don't even know how many I have to be honest... In February (http://gordoncubing.wordpress.com/2013/02/20/cubes/) I had 28 3x3s, but since then, I gave away a few and received some others.
So my guess is around 35-40 :S

Yesterday I received my Original color Weilong.. Thoughts on this cube: OMG..
The pieces where allready put together and the centers where allready on the core (strange for a DIY kit). I don't mind since I am lazy But they had it so tight that it was worse than a Rubiks brand. So I unscrewed a bit and put lube in. I did yesterday about 100 untimed solves. Just to get used to it. This morning I did 25 timed solves. It was 24.65 which is pretty OK for me. The last one:
25. 16.98 L2 D2 L2 B2 R2 B2 D' B2 U' R2 B' L U2 F2 D L2 B' F2 L2 U R

Definatly new main. And yeah, I don't have that many sub 17 solves. I think less than 5 full step (like this one).
I am really looking forward to the new CX3. I did not order it yet. I am waiting for the Chinese shop to have it available. I almost order two (white and black) from the Cubicle since I want to try their half bright and full bright fitted stickers. But I could stop my self from ordering. I do have no good experience with cubes from US (3 months to get here from PuzzleAddictions).EDIT: I also did a Ao12 PB with the 'new main' yesterday

The cubicle are generally very good, I've ordered from then twice and both orders arrived within 4 or 5 days.
