I'm going to buy some lube, a 2 x 2, a 3 x 3, a 5 x 5, and a Megaminx (All in white).
My budget for all of them combined is $50.00, and I can NOT go above, for the fact that I purchased an Amazon Gift Card.
All of the products have to be from Amazon
My current thoughts for the puzzles are:

Megaminx: QJ Megaminx (Tiled) $7.75
3 x 3: FangShi ShuangRen $8.19
5 x 5: ShengShou 5 x 5 v3 $7.69
2 x 2: DaYan ZhanChi 2 x 2 $13.90
Lubricant: Traxxas 30000WT Differential Oil $7.51
Shipping: Free! (For Orders above $25)

Any Suggestions or Changes?

Get the SS or Dayan Megaminx. My Dayan Megaminx turns and feels better then my old QJ. With My QJ I had to Florian mod it to remove the lockups but my Dayan has no lockups I don't own or haven't tryed the SS megaminx.

Check the mega again, I found a slightly cheaper one (~7.19)
 
YEE I can add a Title.

@Michael Okay, I'll take it into consideration! I think the DaYan would be better for my Sticker-less Collection, so I think it could wait. As for the SS Megaminx, I do not want to purchase it because I haven't seen enough reviews and/or comparisons to know exactly how good it is, but I've seen my friends QJ Megaminx and I'm impressed by the quality. Ever since I unknowingly bought the DaYan PanShi, that was hyped by quite a bit, I don't buy products unless I've seen it for myself or a LOT of people recommend it.

@Cheesecake I checked for it, but I could only find a black one at that price.

Get a SS, Florian mod it and it will be amazing. Everyone who has tried my florian modded SS loves it. (MadetoReply said he would give me $40 for mine if I had extra stickers.)

I know this has been asked a million times, but what is the best (or even a good) square 1 for a reasonable price? (around 15€ max)

€4.34?

Whenever someone asks about which square-1 is best, some people say MF8 and some say CubeTwist. So which one actually is better, and why?
Also, I want to get these things; please could someone suggest which ones I should get and where would be the cheapest place to buy them?
Square-1 (MF8/CubeTwist)
Lube (Maru/Something cheaper than 7p per ml)
6x6
Stickers (for 54.6 ShuangRen and possibly for a Zhanchi)
Maybe a Weilong

I know I can get the lube, the Weilong and the Square-1 from FastTech quite cheaply (if I decide to get a CubeTwist Square-1), but I'm not sure where I should get a 6x6, 54.6mm/57mm stickers, or a MF8 Square-1 from.

hi, i want a cube that is really fast, should still be controllable though, but i think i can get used to any speed. but the most important thing for me are the lock ups. i want a cube that really never locks up that would help alot. i am thinking about the cx3 or the weilong. what do you think? right now i would probably go with the cx3. btw i dont care about price, sound, stickers and all that random unimportant stuff. just a cube with great speed that performs well and never locks up.

Haha your funny, stickers and sound and price are unimportant! :D Oh I'm dying here.

Nice Cube

Anyway, I hope your joking, so more importantly: get CX3, I've heard it's better at lockups then the Weilong. Or Zhanchi...

But ofc, who am I to blatantly tell you which cube to purchase. We can only suggest.

After seeing Feliks lock up a WeiLong I came to the conclusion that there isnt a cube that cannot lock up. Your best bet would be the WeiLong or the CX-3 according to a lot of people. I only have the WeiLong so I cant talk for the CX-3. I've never had a lock up with the WeiLong but then again I'm not exactly a really fast or really inaccurate solver either.
