[Funs Puzzle] ShuangRen(霜刃) review :)

[Kattenvriendin]

Off-topic: My shuangren will hopefully arrive tomorrow...

Ok so they are being shipped out now, or?

Haven't heard back from hknowstore, so I am wondering. Tracking nr isn't active yet either, but it's Chinese holiday ending..


Just wondering here

I think that a lot of people would like to see how this cube performs in hands of someone fast
That would be great ^^

Do a review too, talk about speed, corner cutting, all that good stuff
Please

Actually, Chinese holiday has ended for a month. (February 22) I personally don't purchase from hknowstore much, except for v cubes and maru (and non China produced products) because they usually take a long time to process. Especially with the strict regulations of shipping and air travel of HK, a lot of documents have to be signed and stuff to ship stuff out (especially lube). I ordered one for 65 RMB (10.48 USD) on taobao. It seems they just shipped it yesterday morning, so I think I have to wait another day...sigh...

Just heard this from hknowstore:

Sorry again, the factory has production problem again, they shall post the cubes around 15 Apr.

Then, we can post you the cubes.

Just heard this from hknowstore:

I actually purchased it from here-
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.8.oGlTSN&id=17627466004

I didn't have any problem with it. Nothing about pieces or anything like that. Maybe the first batch was made, but then hknowstore couldn't get hold of it? It says they have 7246 in stock currently

do they ship to the US?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Do they ACTUALLY have it in stock.. do you have the cube? Or are you still waiting and is it just a way to get out from under the word "pre-order"?

 

[MarcelP]

There is no delay
There is delay, we want to perfect the mold
There is no delay, shipping in two days
There is delay, shipping at the 7th..

There is delay, shipping at 15th..

Let's see how many more delays will happen. If that other store is sending out allready, I might just order one there. Is there an English version of that site also?

 

[CY]

Hmm... it seems they were going to send some out on the8th, and now it they are going to be shipped on the 15th. I made a big thing out of nothing, sorry guys. I thought mine had shipped out cos they sent me an email with a no. (im not sure if it is a tracking no. or wat cos i never actually had to track the parcel down). So I guess we will all have to wait until the 15th

They just edited the description,and posted : 大家好，这款魔方最终将在近期出炉，（接厂家最新通知。推翻了原先8号到货计划，本店预估在15号左右发货。看实际到货时间为准），第一批到货的是黑色白色散件。原色的还需要等待一段时间，厂家以生产 ，52魔方会第一时间上货的。请原色的爱好者期待。

meaning:

Hello everyone, this cube will be out soon (new notice from manufacturer: Previously, the plan is it would be shipped out on the 8th, this shop estimates the cubes will be shipped to consumers on the 15th. Depending on the actual arrival time) The first batch will be in DIY, black and white pieces. Original colour ones will need a little more time for the manufacturer to produce them, 52morefun will ship them out as soon as possible. Original colour lovers will have something to look forward to.

I'm looking forward to more reviews coming in once people start getting their ShuangRens. If it's really awesome as we're all hoping it to be, I'll get one then.

 

[Lchu613]

April.. freaking... FIFTEENTH?

that's only 7 more days. Calm down.

EDIT: 500th post. You'd better appreciate my advice. Haha, i kid, i kid.

but seriously, be patient.

 

[Lchu613]

Patient? That's not typical me.
But I think you've realized that by now.
Mostly I just go a nasty shock when I realized that I'd be waiting another month or so for that dang thing.

 

[DarioRubik]

This is my very first preorder and i'm already going mad. Nevermind, as long as I get the cube in good conditions.

 

[JohanAR]

that's only 7 more days. Calm down.

I'm holding my order until I've seen some more reviews, so for me it's <time until release date> + <shipping time> + <people making reviews> + <shipping time>..

 

[PeelingStickers]

Oh yeah, mine shipped from 51morefun 2 days ago.

Not sure if that shipping included the shuangren (I ordered some other stuff too), but I ordered through China Post, so even then it'll probably arrive to me long after everyone else D;

 

[Parity Case]

So... the SR is now delayed until mid-June. Rather than repeat all the info that's in another thread, I'll just post the link:

http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...t-Funs-Puzzle-quot-方是(fangshi)-new-3x3/page15
...start at post #145, from Funs Puzzle.
Calvin/HKNowStore explains how they're managing the matter at post #156 (will send free lube or bag when it ships; other pending orders to be shipped separately now).

EDIT: iCubeMart did a clean translation (post #165) of Funs' announcement (and is also offering some freebies for those affected)... The delay will be another 10 days, and if the product is still not satisfactory, early June.
