"Funs Puzzle" 方是(fangshi) new 3x3

[PeelingStickers]

Well mine was ordered from 51morefun, however they have shipped out the other part of my order, so I'm not too fussed about waiting another month or two.

 

[Lchu613]

Well, that takes out my disappointment at the long order. I guess I'll email them saying I want the lube.
I have too many small bags that I don't use lol

As mentioned in our (iCubeMart's) previous blog entry, Funs Puzzle has notified us that they are delaying the release of the ShuangRen 3x3 due to a problem in the current mold. Almost immediately afterwards, Funs Puzzle posted an offical notice about the delay through the Speedsolving forum. Since mandarin is Funs Puzzle's only language, the only way of communicating the message in english was to use Google Translate. Though this is a feasible option, many important details have been overlooked or omitted. However, we are a company of bi-lingual capabilities so we felt that it was our duty to clearly translate the message of Funs Puzzle.

We have been trying to fix this mold for a relatively long period of time without success. Nonetheless, we believe an answer could be found in around ten days. If this answer is not a valid solution however, we will have to resort to a completely new mold. This will force the release date back to June 1st. We, Funs Puzzle, and the manufacturer we are collaborating with are both new to the cubing industry. This might prove to be another factor that will contribute to an extended delay. Funs Puzzle's goal is to make sure that the quality of the cube is superb. We don't want to release a premature cube just for the benefit of an earlier release. To say the least, we apologize sincerely.

We also want to quickly go over our plan of creating a 2x2. The corner piece design of this 2x2 is going to be based primarily on the current design of the ShuangRen 3x3 . It's going to be available in two sizes of 50 mm and 55 mm cubes. There is also going to be another 2x2 related item released at the same time. These are estimated to be available in around mid-June.

I'd really appreciate this Calvin! How can we let you know we want the silicone?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I have mailed them with my order number.. telling the store I have wayyyyy too many bags already and I don't use a single one, so I prefer the lube as well. So I suggest doing the same


Thanks Calvin!

方是不会像盘石那样量产期推迟半年吧。。。额，我英语不好。。。之前打算3月份买个霜刃去参加比赛的，后来实在等不了了，于是买了个孤鸿II。。。希望霜刃快点量产，打破大雁的垄断吧

Wow, sounds great, reminds me of the Dayan Zhanchi 2x2

I'd take the lube.

I ordered it from thecubicle.us I wonder what their policy is

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Stop wondering and simply ask

I've asked this specifically in their official store thread; no reply there currently.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I meant via mail. Not all stores read everything here and to make sure your question is answered you have to contact them.

 

[cube guy]

Stop wondering and simply ask

i just asked them via email an hour ago

 

[Timeeee]

Still nothing (

There's a site announcement on TheCubicle's front page. We expanded our prize drawing for pre-orders. If we get more pre-orders, we will expand it again.

Funs Puzzle has informed us that they've made significant progress on the ShuangRen's mold. If you read the translation we provided to Funs Puzzle (posted by Funs Puzzle on page 17 on this thread), you would understand why this is great news. It seems like we don't have to wait until June after all.
