A Good Cubing Shopping List?

[DylanReynolds]

I've Recently Brought Some cubes off speed cube shop and I just want a second opinion on if my choices were okay im an average cuber (3x3x3 PB 59.86)

The List:
QJ Pyraminx
MF8 Megaminx V II (Was Tiled A Good Option?)
ShengShou 2x2x2
Alpha V-f
ShengShou 4x4x4

I Just Want To see how good they are at turning and if there okay for "My Level"
or if I need more advanced cubes


Regards

They're all fine. People tend to get LanLan rather than ShengShou 2x2, and Alpha V rather than V-f, but there is nothing wrong with those choices. Should be a lot of fun for you when they arrive
(also you may want to keep some glue handy, my tiled megaminx kept shedding the odd tile.)

I Had The LanLan.....
It Broke within like 5 minutes... XD
and i've got my glue ready for the megaminx (it's just regular super-glue but ahwell)
thanks Godmil!!!

I prefer AV F than AV cuz of it's speed and clickyness after I use my mod for the edges. Still haven't done memory mod on it

What's the difference between the Alpha V and the Alpha V-f?

What's the difference between the Alpha V and the Alpha V-f?

Alpha V-f is sealed which, as I understand it, means that there is even friction between the cubies and so all the surfaces contact each other.

Get your superglue ready for your megaminx, but other than that, go for it

Just remember with the mf8 megaminx that it may feel like crap but tension it (and lube it i suppose), and should be a really fun puzzle.

Doesn't that make it worse?

Although it's sealed, the AV-f has less surface friction between the cubies than a regular AV. It has these thin raised surfaces that kind of look like canines inbetween the peices. It's a rather unique design. I also prefer it over the regular AV although that wasn't always the case. The cube is just a lot different than other cubes and has it's own unique albeit grainy feel. It's really noisy though...much louder than anything else I've heard. I've had people get up and switch seats when I use it in public transport.

I find there is less friction than my guhong and lingyun

So which one is used in the Haiyan Memory?

The regular AV.

ARGG I was going to order a tiled megaminx but they were sold out.

They're all fine. But, I would highly recommend to buy from icubemart. Their prices and services are awesome.
