Anyone got that cube yet? If you did, can you tell me how is the quality? If you are waiting for one, can you tell me right after you get one?

I dunno if it's the same one, but I've got a white colored bump cube, and it's amazing. Cuts corners like no one's business, and is crazy smooth.

I've had the DX bump cube for a good month now. It turns fairly well out of the box and responds very well to lubrication (I use jigaloo). After sanding mine down it turns amazingly well and is suprisingly smooth. It DOES NOT cut corners. An overall great puzzle.
Note: Shipping was slow for me (US)

@Unknown: can't get to DX either.

Unknown is 100% correct.

BUT I'll have you know that fake is better than real in almost every aspect. Better at cutting corners, better stickers, better price.

Bid for fake bump cube on Ebay. I got three for $12. They are holding up pretty well. Oh yea and, type in "mirror blocks" instead of bump cube. You'll get more results.

Well? What's it like?

And sure, make a video.


I'm currently stickering my mirror blocks with shade shifting stickers from cubesmith. I got purple/cyan but they are really too dark and in most lights just look black.

I only know of 2 types of bump cubes/mirror blocks: the "official" Rubik's one, and the one from yjtoys. There might be more, I really don't know.

Anyway, if this is the yjtoys one then it's helluva good cube. I got a sub-40 average in 2 nights. And I believe such an average is (unofficially) about top 20-30 in the world :cool:

turns very smoothly, can cut corners but not too much, and very difficult!

Does it REALLY annoy anyone else how they call everything "brain teaser magic IQ ____"? I'm not sure why but it really gets to me. I seriously want to like, punch the person who called them that.

They could call it a twisty puzzle...

My point is, it's not magical, doesn't "tease" my brain, and it doesn't have anything to do with IQ.

I bought one on Ebay on Tuesday for $0.99 ($3.99 shipping). It's comming from Hong Kong so it will be awhile. I should get it between the 20th and the 28th.


EDIT: I'm in Minnesota, USA.
