Hello, I would like to know if its possible to know when (days, weeks, months?) the mf8 megaminx v3 will come out in black? It is a puzzle I am very much looking forward to, but I'd prefer it in black, as opposed to the original mold color. If there isn't a way of telling when the black version will come in, I'll probably just get the original color version anyway, to see how the puzzle turns and such. Thank you. :)

The black megaminxes are coming in the same shipment as the PanShi prototypes so it'll be here soon!
 
Our DaYan PanShi Prototype contest is almost coming to an end. There is less than 3 hours left (ends at 12 P.M. Pacific Time). So if you plan on making your order a raffle ticket, please do it as soon as possible. Thanks!
 

Congratulations! These five order numbers are the winning orders of the DaYan PanShi Prototype Contest.

Thank you!

On January 27, the United States Postal Service raised their shipping rates (especially for international orders). But it also allowed us to give tracking information to our international customers for the first time. So we would really love to lower the price, but we have to make changes due to the United States Postal Service. I hope you understand!
 
You might have heard about a cube going around called the FangShi (Funs ShuangRen). This cube is supposedly superior to that of a DaYan 3x3. We were able to secure a prototype, and I must agree that this cube is somewhat better than a DaYan cube. Read about it here:

That cube came to us within a new shipment we received (which contains many new puzzles) and you can read about the contents of this new shipment here:

If you are a long time iCubeMart customer, you would probably remember back when we had a blog page. Of course, due to a period of inactivity, we decided to shut it down. However, with a new perspective and plan in mind, we have decided to launch it again. You will still be able to read the old entries but we are now providing more professional content. We are very serious about this new addition to our site and we hope that you will find our blog to be a great place to get informed on the latest cube news.
 
I sent you a couple questions about this through your website, but received no response...

I would like to order some cores (Dayan and Cube4You) and some Dayan spring/screws/washers hardware sets. However, the shipping costs that are being quoted are ridiculously high.

From your website (copied and pasted on April 11, 2013):
"We calculate Shipping & Handling by the actual weight of each order, like the way the US Postal System calculates the price for us. iCubeMart actually doesn’t earn any money from your shipping cost. Shipping is just a service provided to you by us and we have no intention on grabbing extra money in the process. Maybe sometimes you might feel that we charge a little more than how much the Post Office actually charges us. Why? It’s because there is also a cost for the many supplies and materials we use, and the many hours and energy we spend to pack your orders. Normal customers do NOT have any clue how the Postage should be calculated. So, when they compare the charge @ iCubeMart vs. other US Cube Stores, they feel we charge too much! Actually, the amount we calculate is much closer to the actual amount paid to the US Postal Office. We have to say that we are making efforts to calculate the Shipping & Handling fee as accurate/reasonable as we can. But, don't be confused by other US Cube Stores' wrong calculation system.

Unlike us, other US cube stores charge you by the total quantity of items. If you try to order 5 pieces of cores in their shop, the Shipping cost is around $13.00. But, at iCubeMart, you only need to pay $6.50. It's only common sense to know which one is the better deal: 5 cores with shipping & handling costing $13.00 for international order, or $6.50. If you order 5 cores in their store with domestic shipping, the cost will be around $7.50. We only charge you $3.00. These examples show that their system isn’t accurate at all."

However, when I place 5 cores into the cart (Dayan or cube4you), the shipping costs come to $6.80 within the continental US. Just as a comparison, the shipping and handling costs for 2 Guhongs is cheaper than 5 cores ($5.70 vs $6.80). Additionally, when these small items are added to another larger order, it still incurs a significant shipping cost (about a dollar per core/hardware set). Is there any way that I can order some cores and hardware without spending more on shipping than on the items themselves?
 
DaYan is well known for their 3x3s since they perform with great quality. Since launching their first 3x3, DaYan has started to release different types of puzzles throughout their career including the megaminx and 4x4. Everyone knows that DaYan will deliver no matter which puzzle it is. That's why the expansion of their range of products is always welcomed and highly anticipated. This is exactly the case with the new DaYan 2x2 . . .

To read the entire blog entry for extensive information on the new DaYan 2x2 (which is available for pre-order right now at our store) and on the release date of the Funs ShuangRen (a cube that is the same if not better quality than the DaYan cubes), click here:
