Which of the following should I get? QJ Tiled Megaminx, YJ 5x5, or Mf8 Square-1. This is off of amazon so any recommendations on specific stores would be good.

if you like sq-1, get the MF8 sq-1. with crc its really good.

BTW I forgot to mention that these would be first time buys of these cubes, and I'm only using amazon.

Out of those, the mf8 sq1 is really the only good cubes IMO. The QJ megaminx and YJ 5x5 are just not that good

This is kindof a "What cube should I get?" question and kindof not, but I didn't want to make a whole new thread so I'll post it here.
My QJ Pyraminx which I have had for about 3 months is really bad. It locks up a tremendous amount and pops about every second solve, often 2 or 3 pieces at once.
Would this just be a default with this puzzle or a QJ pyraminx problem that I should be fixing somehow?
So pretty much my "What cube should I get?" question is asking whether I should go for another QJ pyraminx, a Mefferts or a Mozhi? Or should I attempt some kind of mod?
Thanks.

Mines the same, absolutely terrible. I think its just a cheap shitty puzzle

Speedcube:
About me: using pure fridrich, around 23s average, slow-turn solver, hate pops.
Which one should I get: Alpha CC, Type III F or Zhanchi (or maybe something less new ?) ?

Non-official puzzle:
About me: I don't enjoy pure speed or "too-easy" puzzle (magic, 2x2, pyraminx...). I like big cubes and non-cubic puzzles (2x3x3, 2x2x4, 3x3x4, ...). I also liked the void cube (even though I hardly play with it now). I am not a big fan of the cubic 3x3x4, cubic 3x3x5 or cubic 3x3x7. I am not too much into square-1 or megaminx but I do enjoy solving them once in a while. I have mixed feelings about skewb. Liked it in the past, don't play anymore with it now... difficult to say why...
Anything I should get ? Square-2, square-1 with 4 layers, witeden super 3x3x5, 3x3x6, ... I am always amazed by how imaginative people are when designing puzzles Also I am dreaming about the non-cubic 3x3x5 but well don't think I will ever manage to motivate myself enough to create one.

Whats the best megaminx pyriminx and square one?

 

[Godmil]

Adragast, what about a 3x3 varient like a Mirror cube? They're cheap and pretty fun.

Whats the best megaminx pyriminx and square one?

The megaminx is probably the mf8 but the QJ one is really smooth. the pyraminx is definitely the QJ one and the square one is the mf8

QJ megaminx is the worst cube

I'd suggest a GuHong or a LunHui. Since you turn slow, you can try having super lose tensions. The LunHui will have much more pop tolerance on loose tensions. I don't know too much about the ZhanChi

Non-official puzzle:

Yes. Try THIS too And perhaps, THIS?

THIS, THIS and THIS

The last one is a KO.

WHERE can I get one, for less than $15? (the price at iCubeMart)

The Shengshou 5x5 is $10.90 at ICubeMart and $11.99 at Witeden. I haven't seen any other stores carry them.

Which is the best megaminx? Mefferts, QJ or Mf8? I've tried the last one I think it's just horrible...

It is 9.99$ on lightake (free shipping!)

I would recommend either Mf8 vII or Mefferts. Mefferts is a bit better but about twice the price of the Mf8.

edit: 500th post!

I don't see it. I found other Shengshou products, but not the 5x5. Can you provide a link?

It is strange, they seem to have removed them. Good thing I ordered mine in time!
