C4Y cubes in DX

cookingfat said:
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.

I've gone with the light blue too - the yellow is kinda like cubesmith fluorescent yellow - on a purple background it's pretty freaky!

Mine's now lubed and it goes like the clappers :D

The locking-up has now gone even though I have it screwed down pretty tight. Those extra internal running surfaces seem to make a difference. Repeated Sexy Move (TM) performed in a sloppy fashion with say 15 to 20 degree cuts is rapid and pleasingly bind-free.
 
well my 2 purple c4y cubes came about 2 hrs ago, and i love them, there just awsome andwayyyyyyy nice. only issues i had way choosing which stickers to put on but i decided to use the white oppisite yellow and the light blue for both
 
I like being able to choose between 2 different blues. I too opted for the lighter blue just because it's different.

Usually I buy purple stickers from CubeSmith, and put them opposite orange.
(hockey team colors) But that would be just stupid with this cube.

I don't use lube. I just intentionally leave it loose, and I like it that way.
It's an extremely smooth cube.

Crap, I just realised that i may have ordered some random white cube. The purple cube image looks similar, and I think I just figured it would be a c4y cube too.

Well, for anyone interested, this cube feels like crap. Assembled and lubed, it feels very choppy and locky. I can't imagine this replacing my main speedcube.
 
i tot type Cs are really good speedcubing material after lubing?thats from what i hear from reviews
well i have a white type C myself and havent lube it feels bad coz im still breaking it in...hope it turns around after i lubed it

Hehehe - yes I buy a lot of the DX Type-C's to give as gifts to any friends who show an interest in learning to cube. Personally I prefer the puzl.co.uk speedcubes for my own cubing and the purple C4U is realy good but doesn't suit my style so much - I think it requires more accurate turns to avoid locking up but it might just be the way I have mine set up of course :)

That cube is a Type C.

That's what I was thinking.

Well, it sucks. I hate my Type C. I was planning on buying a black Type C from DX, but after using this white one, there's no way.

However, something good did come from this. I put the cubies from this cube into a Old Type A core/Type D screws, springs, centers hybrid, and it's absolutely incredible. It's replaced my main cube. No pops, no locking up, and blazingly fast.

Still Type C sucks.

wow if thats the case i should really try that out when my type a core and screw set arrives...unless my type C becomes really good after i buy some silicone spray and lube it
 
This is lame. Cube4yous stock of violet cubes are on arrival notice.... I bought a violet cube4you cube from deal extreme on the 26th and it still says waiting for supplier under my order status.... So my worst fears have come true. I have to wait until cube4you restocks so deal extreme can get some. Anyone order the violet cube4you cube from dx lately?
 
I ordered one on the 23rd of May through a freebie site, which means I can't check it's status. But they say 'waiting for supplier' on every order I've made.

I'm thinking that DX bulk orders from Cube4you. If so, why can't they get more colors on there?

EDIT: DX will ship them on June 7th.

Hmm well I have already bought a cube4you cube from dx. This is my second one just because I want two. Last order, after 2 days, it said it was in the packaging step. Then a day later it was shipped. But this order still says waiting for supplier and it has been about a week...

Why do you think they will ship them on the 7th? (by the way it said the eta of my package was june 6th lol....)

Edit: Just checked at deal extreme again and now it says oder recieved - In Stock. lol? Woot
