I got the exact same order from the exact same store and shipped on the exact same dates as you: 8 and 12.
Will be interesting to see the difference in time, although it seems puzzles travel faster from China to Canada than to any other place on earth (sorry for the slight pun :D)
Anyway, looking forward to know when you get them, and hope they are good.

Let us know when you get them too then we can compare shipping speed. Of course, it also depends if you live in a big city or not.
 
Ok I was curious... can you guys do like a T-perm (or other perm you like) and time how fast you are on 4x4 compared with a 3x3? I did an Ao5 on each. It doesn't matter if you are fast. I just want to know the relative speeds.

3x3: 1.62, 1.46, 1.49, 1.54, 1.33 = 1.50
4x4: 4.52, 3.27, 4.99, 3.62, 4.29 = 4.14

4.14/1.50 = 2.76
 
Those 4x4 times are terrible, but probably expected on that cube.
You have a very smooth and nice to watch turning style.
4x4: 1.92, 1.56, 1.63, (1.93), (1.53) = 1.71
3x3: (1.14), 1.37, (1.39), 1.22, 1.36 = 1.32

1.71 / 1.32 = 1.3
 
T-Perms:

CX3: 2.35 = 2.24 (2.68) (2.09) 2.38 2.44

ChiLong: 2.07 = 2.27 1.99 1.96 (2.39) (1.71)

WeiLong: 2.58 = 2.63 (2.25) 2.33 (3.01) 2.79

WeiSu: 3.63 = (4.05) (3.33) 3.44 3.51 3.93

ShengShou: 3.31 = 3.58 2.84 3.50 (2.69) (3.91)

Interesting.. Also.. I never knew I could do a T-perm that quick on a 4X4 ;)

3.63 / 2.07 = 1.75

Chilong has a pleasant sound from your vid. I'm really looking forward to my cubes! I don't think my order is even in the country yet.

Yeah, it is a very soft clicking sound. And it solves so smooth. I hope you will receive it soon. I ordered a black one two weeks ago that is also still in China. My YJ LingGan has landed a few days ago. Hope to get it tomorrow.

Hey Marcel, do you do any 5x5? I'm thinking of getting into it finally, like finally getting into 4x4.
Click to expand...
Yeah, check the weekly contest. :) I even did 5x5 on a competition. The cutoff was 4 minutes and I got a 6.xx. So I got a DNF. So I decided not to do 5x5 at competion again because I don't like the dissapointment of DNF. I like solving 5x5 and average 6 minutes now. Did you get your cubes already?

Did you quit cubing for a while? I could not stay away even if I wanted to. :)
