TheCubicle.us - High Quality Puzzles, Custom-Cut Stickers, Premium Lubricants & More!

I don't know if anybody's said this before, but on your Megaminx sticker set, the grey and white are very similar when scrambled! (on a black puzzle, at least)
I've had at least a couple of other people think that the grey side is the white side... >.<

Thanks for bringing it up again (and to others for bringing it up before). I thought it was mostly an issue of preference, but if most people agree that the light grey is too close to white, I suppose it is time to switch it out for another color.

We would appreciate feedback from anyone to help us with our decision. The closest available color would be Grey, but that is really quite dark.

As far as stock shades on Megaminx puzzles go, here's how all the shades of grey would rank:

Cubicle Light Grey (lightest)
DaYan Megaminx Grey
mf8 Megaminx Grey
ShengShou Megaminx Grey
Cubicle Grey (darkest)

Do you think the darkish Grey would be a good replacement, or would we have to go lighter and therefore closer to one of the greys on DaYan, mf8 and ShengShou megaminx puzzles?

Oh by the way, here's a picture of the new "bright mf8 set," in which we decided to replace light grey with the darker grey.

Here's how the darker grey from the bright mf8 set looks on a 12-sided puzzle

And here's the original "mf8 set"

I should have bought the new Weilong v3 from you guys, but instead I got it for cheaper over at HKnowstore because I had a coupon but its been almost a week and I don't think they have even sent it yet. :(

That is why I buy from thecubicle.net everytime. Sometimes they are a few dollars more on the website. But I always get my cubes ASAP and never have to worry about extra taxes or duties.
Had one order $150 from lightake that was $40 cheaper than thecubicle.us. Took 6 weeks to get to my house and had to pay an extra $32 duty fees. Saved $8 in the end but had to wait forevvvvvvvvvvver.
Never bought anywhere else but thecubicle.us since.
Always fast service. Website is has the best set up.

Also the 4x4x4 fisher cube looks sweet. Wish I wasn't poor atm, I would buy the purple one.
*Whispers*Psst... save me a purple one cool guy*Whispers*

i always buy from the cubicle. unless they dont have something i want. i just had a coupon and might as well use it.
 
I'd love to see a second version of the three pre-made and discountered sets (STD, HB, FB) for Square-1 being introduced with side 2 and 3 swapped, just like the standard WCA 3x3 scrambling orientation (green/blue on F/B and red/orange on R/L). Is anything like this coming?

We based the pre-made sets on the colors that came with the Calvin's Square-1, but we will look into offering pre-made sets with side 2 and side 3 swapped as you suggested.

Also, we have recently made a few new adjustments to our website that may help you save money on custom sticker sets if you buy 2 or more sets. See below for more details.

Sorry, I can't reserve products like that :\ It's available on a first-come, first-served basis. But we did get a decent number of the Transparent Purple ones so it should be in stock for a couple days at least.

Also, for what it is worth, we have just recently introduced discounts for international shipping rates, so that might be able to help you save some money if you are interested in getting one :)

---

We are pleased to announce some recent changes regarding international shipping and custom sticker sets:

1) International shipping rates are now reduced based on total order amount (10%, up to a maximum discount of the shipping cost)

2) Purchases of multiple custom sticker sets within a category will now receive quantity discounts. 2-5 custom sets within a category will receive a 5% discount, 6-9 will receive 8%, and 10+ sets will receive 12% off. Applies to custom sets only -- premade sets are already discounted and are not eligible for additional discounts like this one.

These offers will be applied automatically if you qualify -- no action is necessary to redeem. For more specific information on the recent changes, check out this summary: http://thecubicle.us/updates.php
 
rambling about grey colours

I just have one requirement for the grey, and that is to be distuingishable from the white... no seriously, in perfect light it might be okay, but who has perfect light at home? So yes, the darker grey would be perfectly fine.

yes, that picture is a mix between white and grey... and some people may say it's just the lighting, but my gf and I have this fun game where we solve a grey/white face, then we cover everything around that face so you can't see adjacent stickers and then the other person has to point out all the grey stickers. It's not as easy as it sounds

Thanks very much for the feedback and pictures. We are pleased to announce that 'Light Grey' has now been replaced with normal 'Grey' in all of the pre-made mf8 sets in response to the feedback received. The colors have been updated to reflect this in the product descriptions.
