Piece popped out? - RAN OVER?

[RopedBBQ]

Hello everyone. quick question here: In my Yuga-DII cube, I was using it in the car... and oh-so unlucky me had a piece pop out within an hour of getting it, because of a family member. More unluckily, the BACK WINDOW WAS OPEN. It then proceeded to get ran over. :fp

Heres the question: Will a store-bought rubik's cube's piece fit into the slot? Its an edge cubelet that fell out. If not, does anyone here, or anywhere have a replacement piece I could buy?

Thanks guys, hope you can help.

EDIT: using a storebought piece with a Yuga D cube actually works.... tried it, perfect

Sucks to be you.

Look at another edge piece, and if they're reallly close, you can use it (i guess)

my whole c4y got run over by a car. i got it 3 days ago (at the time) one edge was dented, but it wasn't completely destroyed. storebought pieces generally work on everything. just see if it fits, it doesn't take much effort

Although a store bought cube's pieces might fit on a speedcube, it would probably not work very well at all.
Rubik's brand cubes are definitely not as good as an average speedcube, and one bad piece on a good cube would feel pretty weird.

Also: If an edge piece didn't work very well you could use some sand paper and round it off a bit until it as similar as possible to the rest of the cube.

who says storeboughts can't be speedcubes?

My only argument would be that you can't adjust the tension which is something I consider a must. Other than that they could definitely be speedcubes.

I once got a 3x3 Tic-Tac-Toe cube, and the day after, I accidentally stepped on it.

The ENTIRE BLOODY CORE broke, along with all the edges, and quite a few of the corners.

Needless to say, I was not happy.

I used a storebought 3x3 at the Melbourne Summer Open. Granted, my best time was just 28.xx, but still! You're right!

LOL
sucks 2 B U

Ummm, I dont think putting a Rubik's edge will work.
It may be uneven on that face and lock up.

Doesn't hurt to try though.

That's why you can mod it. Or get a Rubik's DIY.

nah rubik's diy's are gwarbage. core mod ftw

So in other words; I gotta either buy a new cube, or mod my storebought?
