C4Y cubes in DX

[MichaelErskine]

Not too bad - not as nice as Cubesmith but that's expected. They come with 2 sets of pretty standard colours and a sheet of clear uncut sticker material for some reason. Unlike Cubesmith stickers the excess sticker material is not removed from the backing. The stickers are well cut and peel away OK. They stick well to a clean cube (take care with lube!) and they seem to last well (I've have some of these type-Cs since November '08) outlasting Eastsheen and Rubik's store-bought (naturally!)

A sticker sheet, maybe?

Application Tape, used to quickly place all stickers on one face of the cube/puzzle at the same time.

wooo!!! ordered 2 last night!!! wasnt that hard convincing my mom. *shrugs* but i feel rather bad seeing as i love c4y for all my type a's

It's an applicator sheet, but I find that it doesn't work well. I use the old stickers when restickering or the "unpeeled" portions of the vinyl (which I used for my Square-1).

Yeah, that's what I meant.

They're genuine according to owners of both the DX and cubes direct from C4U

I don't know what do you mean with that.
Do you mean that the cubes from DX are all from C4U, or the C4U cubes which are sold in DX are from C4U?
Some post ago, there was a link , if you click that, you will see that James said he hasn't sold directly to DX.

Mine were shipped out on the 28th, two days after I ordered them. Hopefully I'll get them soon.

Erm, I mean both

Actually I am only working on what others have told me until mine arrives and I can compare.

My void cube from DX arrived today, and tbh its pretty good. Comes already lubed with a custom colour scheme. Does not cut corners well, but I suspect that is due to void cube design. Delivery was quicker than expected. A nice addiction to my growing collection and good value for money

The purple C4U arrived from DX - I can confirm that it's genuine.

A great quality DIY but upon first build I find that it locks up more than my puzl CSC's and my various Type-C's.

My order came this morning from DX (only 7 days after I placed my order !)

The included everything in my order apart from the purple C4U cube. They put in a note saying that sometimes items can become temporarily unavailable due to market shortage, but they have sent the other items to keep me from waiting and that it's likely my item has already been shipped out anyway.

I will assembly the type C this evening and post back on that.

The blue and white snake is not worth buying to be honest, it's slightly smaller than a rubik's, cheaper plastic, different mechanism and doesn't move as well. Adds about 2 seconds to my 'solves'. I think I will give this to my brother.

how generous of you after completely slating it!

I recieved my DX order two days ago. The C4Y cube is quite good and is the real thing. No parts were missing. It's very nice to see these on DX for only $8

My bro is only 9, he'll be grateful as he just likes making gun shapes with it.

Is this worth buying???
I would like that kind of cube (white!!). Is that as good as you're stories about the purple cube? It's 2 $ cheaper too. I wanna buy only white My "dream-cube" would be white. I don't care that it ships about a year (not really) to here but I want it to move better than my vaseline-spoiled cube right now moves.

My purple cube came today, only a few days after the first order.

It doesn't have any washers, is that normal?

Also I really like the Type C, it's awesome for the money.

Cube4you cubes don't have washers.

 

[cookingfat]

thanks. I kind of assumed that with the shape of the screws.

I've put it together and it feels very nice so far, need to sticker, adjust and lube it.

The c4u cube came with 2 sets of stickers, as did the type C. they c4u stickers have the c4u logo on the white and also comes with a black side with logo and even an alternative light blue as well as normal dark blue. I'm going to give the light blue a try. I can post a picture of it done if you would like.
