"Funs Puzzle" 方是(fangshi) new 3x3

[Lchu613]

Well, the sandy sound is most likely because no lube, but I think it would be pretty good like that but with lube.

 

[Parity Case]

Wait... given that zcube, 51morefun & HKNowstore are selling the cubes with non-pre-order status, does that mean people who pre-ordered from HKnowstore but haven't been notified of a shipment aren't really getting pre-orders, but are rather just getting regular orders? If that's the case, I wish I'd waited for the price-drop... (e.g., zcube vs HKN)

 

[Kattenvriendin]

A pre-order doesn't mean you get the cube right away before it is officially available.

It just means that you get to have it first when it comes in in the store, before people who order later on when it is in stock. Pre-orders are shipped out first before the regular ones.

The price drop is the risk you take when you pre-order.

Just checked my tracking number, the cube is in my country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited, it should be here tomorrow or the day after

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Indeed nice sticker colors. I allready have Cubesmith half brights with bright blue laying around for my ShuanRen but I think I will use the original stickers first.

the plastic in the white cube seems like the harder type of plastic...the prototypes' plastic was slightly translucent...o.o
hope it doesn't do anything to performance

 

[mati1242]

I watched a few unboxing and first impressions videos of this cube and I must say that the plastic is a little like structured or something like that- It's not completely smooth. Because of that the cube "rustles" a bit, but I bet that after good breaking in it will go away and cube will be very smooth

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Also.. lube should help out with the scratchy sound.

You know it resembles a WEE bit of that shapeways sound. *giggle*

 

[mati1242]

Yes- exactly, but after good amount of solves it should go away.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Definitely. Not on shapeways puzzles, but it should on this one yes hehe.

 

[CuberCritic]

The mechanism on the cube is just fascinating. I'm looking forward to seeing how it handles in comparison to the ZhanChi.

 

[DaRealPizza]

My order just got shipped I'm so happy, and so exited, its going to be such a great cube.

 

[aaroncl]

Not sure if this has been posted already but DealMaz has it for $8.67 http://www.dealmaz.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=fangshi&cat=&x=-801&y=-51

 

[renchi11]

Just got the cube!!!! I am gonna assemble it, tension and lube it a bit later and ill write my opinion on it. Wish i could do a video So ill see you guys later, but now i gotta go walk the dogs hehe

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Argh nooo.. I have to leave for work in 30.. do the assembling first.. lol

 

[renchi11]

So i have assembled the cube, tensioned, lubed, stickered and all that good stuff and i must say the cube is crazy good. For me definitely better then the zhanchi. Now a couple of thing that bug me, there is quite a lot of left over plastic from the mold which isnt that bad but the center caps were a pain in the ass to snap in, dont know why but you really have to push HARD!!

I did an avg of 12 which isnt very good for me but thats just that i never ever solved a white cube so i cant look ahead to save my life but i guess ill get used to it eventually (btw i ordered a white cube to mix things up a little hehe)
