So I'm probably going to purchase the Megaminx and the Translucent Square 1 (has anyone bought that?)

I got the Square 1, and it's pretty nice, but I've never tried any others. It turns really nice along the side, but the top and bottom layers turn a bit badly (but not enough to be too annoying).

It comes blank, and with two sets of surprisingly nice stickers.

A lot harder than I expected, but definitely worth the buy.

The megaminx is good, since mefferts is always out of stock, and it's very cheap. Silicone has reacted quite well, but it's deffinatly not built for speed.

Replacing the screws/springs (with type A ones) appears to make it quite decent. I haven't gotten to tuning the tension to perfection, but I can see it becoming a great speedminx with some more work.

I have to say, after replacing the screws and springs with type A DIY screws/springs, it works beautifully. I have still to set them to the perfect tension, but turning is great, and it's not even lubed yet.

looks like I will use my chinaminx springs for that megaminx :)
 
Blargh, Eastsheen cubes are over rated, personally, I prefer my Rubik's studio 5x5x5 its awesome, the Eastsheen is too small and you have to align it perfectly before turning, everyone else has their own opinions this is just mine :P Peace. Tom.
 
Well, I received my black 3x3 DIYs from DealEx today, and they are in fact Type C DIYs. They're an excellent buy, so don't hesitate if you're thinking of buying some. Each cube even came with two sets of stickers. :)
 
For a wooden 3x3x3 you should have come to Euro 2008. Lubed with some kind of oil we did sub 45 solves on it eventually. A video might be available soon when I upload my Euro 2008 experience. Don't expect much cubing in there though, the video is more like a video-diary of everything surrounding a tournament, travelling, cubers and the people you meet.
 
I don't have a credit card. If they take Amex i might be able to get an Amex gift card and use it. Im not sure if it works but i might just try it to get me some puzzles for cheap. I want to get a magic and I can easily get one here but its like 10 bucks here. Yea i kno big deal 2 dollar difference, but those 2 dollars can go to me getting something else. Are the DIYs the same as the ones you would get from C4Y? If I end up ordering from them i will definitely get me a DIY cube, and a 5x5.
 
Megaminx

I purchased a megaminx from Cubefans.com a few months ago. Eventually it started to pop even though I am not speedcubing. One day one of the screws came loose during a solve and it sort of exploded apart. I put it back together and stuck it in a drawer. Haven't played with it since. I wonder about the quality of the DX megaminx. Has anyone here actually purchased one and used it, that could report on its quality?

Thanks.
