2009 Rubik's Diy

[JTW2007]

Why are hybrids overrated? Have you tried enough of them to know?

Do you know who is Rama? I think he knows what he is talking about.

 

[mazei]

I can agree with Rama. None of my hybrids so far can beat my main speedcube which is a Type A third model. My OH cube is just a pure DS. Really, hybrids are just done by me when I get too bored.

I don't think you're of status to judge that answer, I'm not being harsh I'm just saying, if you were sub 17 for instance you'd realise more about how hybrids are overrated.

 

[JTW2007]

Okay, just wondering.

 

[Lofty]

Haha lets just own JTW...
But yea I agree with Rama. I have my one good green type A from like a year and a half ago and its the only really good cube I have. It seems loads of other people have good cubes just not me. Like I really liked Andrew Kang's type A's. He had like ten of them all good, my type A's are just ok... Maybe its because mine are green his are black?
Are all springs the same?
I want to try this 2006 mold... Want to give me your cube Rama?

has anyone tried the 2009 mold?

 

[jcuber]

I don't think they are being sold yet, they probably still have warehouses full of the 07 and 08 molds.

 

[d4m4s74]

according to my sources at Toys are us they will ship the new molds the end of February/the beginning of march

I still wonder how she knows because Toys are us does not sell DIYs here

 

[Stefan]

is there any place where you can get the 2006 mold?

No! And that's immediatly the reason why I don't cube anymore, to me all cubes suck and hybrid's are overrated.

I still have one Rubik's 2006 mold unassembled... I will never assemble it!

Do you like those? Why don't you assemble it? Around 2005/2006 I bought 30 DIYs from rubiks.com, still have most of them unassembled lying around in some box. If someone's interested, I can check the date or if you can tell an easy way to distinguish the molds I can check that, too. I myself don't like them too much because the caps don't fit perfectly and it takes me a long time to cut them to fit perfectly. So if people like them, I'd be happy to sell them.

How much stefan? PM on German for terms....

 

[Stefan]

I'll have a look at how much I paid back then, probably around 8 Euros per cube. I can take some to Benelux Open.

 

[coinman]

Maybe you can sell some of them to Rama so he can start cubing again :rolleyes:

You can check the mold year by looking in a corner; all of the corners are closed in except for one corner, which is open on one side, and mine says 07 somewhat faintly inside. 2006 and 2005 models should have 06 and 05 marked in them.

 

[Stefan]

Sorry, looks like I have an even older type. Each has a corner cap saying "M0804B", I guess that means 2004 version? Didn't notice the marking Jai described, though I wasn't looking for it.

 

[Pedro]

mine says MXX05B

I'd want a couple of those, if you still have them (and if the price is good )

im interested, are you only going to sell them in competitions or will you also ship to countries? If so I'd like to know the shipping cost to Belgium for 2

 

[Stefan]

I'd prefer to just take them to a competition. Shipping is overhead work/risk/costs. Why don't you come to Benelux Open?

Anyway, let me first check how many I actually have (probably next weekend). I might start a separate thread then rather than continue to hijack this one.
