X-Cube, MF8 Version 2, Mefferts

OK, but does anyone know where I can buy those three cubes at the same place?

I wouldn't recommend the x-cube. It's very expensive, and from what I hear, not amazing (although it's still a decent cube). I'd recommend either a shengshou v3 or a dayan+mf8 4x4. As for where you could get them, I'm not sure what would be the best store to buy from if you live in Sweden. I think you might be able to get all of them from lightake, but I'm not sure.

I have already bought from Lightake before so that is not any problem. They are having Dayan + MF8.

I am wondering if that is a MF8 Version 2? http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.MF8_12_Color_Sticker_Polygonal_Magic_IQ_Test_Cube_Black_-29189

But I do not find any pyraminx at Lightake.

I'm not sure if that's a version 2 or not. As for the pyraminx, most likely you'll only be able to get it from the mefferts site.

Wow, you're right, I can't see any at all. Weird.

 

[Ickenicke]

But, do you know if that Megaminx I linked to is a Version 2?

 

[Godmil]

I'm 85% sure it is the V2... mostly because if they're going to run out of stock of any of them it's going to be the old one that's not made anymore. If they're not using generation numbers anymore it will because the old one has been phased out.

Which is the best 2x2(If it's a v-cube, specify the color and type)

Until recently it was hotly contested between the Lan Lan and the V2a (non-pillowed version)
But recently people have been raving about the Type C/Wit2

 

[vancuber]

Regular Zhanchi vs Lubix Fusion

Which one is faster?

 

[CubeLord]

Probably zhanchi and my question:
What is the best pyraminx out there???

 

[asportking]

Probably zhanchi and my question:

Mefferts.

3x3x2 is pretty cool and teaches you everything you need for the awesome 3x3x4.
Also Mirror Cubes are a lot of fun.
