12 color Tiled Megaminx DIY For Speed-cubing - Anyone else got this email?

[JTW2007]

So are these new ones for sure shipping with softer springs? And what of Stefan's other recommendation (sanding to reduce lockups)? Did they take him up on that too?

I mailed Mefferts with this question:

Dear Mefferts Support Team,


I have a question regarding the two megaminxs.

Is this (http://sites.webec.com.hk/meffert/index.cfm?fuseaction=detail&id=1158604&product=237) the megaminx, that was modified with the help of Stefan Pochman?

If so, what kind of megaminx is this one: http://sites.webec.com.hk/meffert/index.cfm?fuseaction=detail&id=1158604&product=237 ?


I would be really thankful for a clarification,

And they answered with this:

Hi xxx

I can not see the product from the links, but all the Megaminx are the same modified for speedcubing basic body that Stefan helped us to fine tune during production, only the DIY version gives a choice of 12 color PET labels and 12 color tiles and there is a completed Megaminx with the caps and tiles glued on for #28, the DIY versions which include an extra bottle of puzzle lubricant and 1 tube of super glue gel are $30.00.



Happy Puzzling.

your MPG puzzle support team.

Okay, now I get it. They are both the same. They are modified with the tips from Stefan. The 30$ one has lubricant and glue, to put the tiles on, which are not applied yet.

@JTW2007: I don't think anyone knows... write them an e-mail!

Dear Oscar, I cannot see which product you ordered, we have several options, but they are all the same Megaminx only with different finishing options, one is fully assembled with the 12 color tiles and caps glued, US$28.00 another option has the tiles glued but the caps are loose for easier adjustment of the springs, this included a bottle of puzzle lubricant and super glue gel, for sticking on the caps, the third option and fourth option is a black body Megaminx with loose 12 color tiles and with one small bottle of puzzle lubricant and 1 tube of super glue gel. The final option is the black body DIY Megaminx with 12 color PET labels for you to stick by yourself, The DIY versions are US$30.00 all have Free shipping by Airmail post.
