So far I'm stuck between the Ultimate ZhanChi and The Fusion. Both are incredible cubes, but I personally like the feel of the ZhanChi more.

ZhanChi or Guhong? looking for something that cant pop.

Either, if that's your only criteria.

Zhanchi (from what I hear) is really a lot like the GuHong just with torpedoes.

What is the Cubetwist Clock like?

Just started doing some clock, using my original Clock from the 80's. However I am reluctant to break it open to lube for sentimental reasons so was considering getting anotehr for speed solving.

 

[n00bcub3r]

Should i get lubix fusion lubix elite or lubix zhanchi?

 

[sofeeuhh]

Probably ZhanChi. It's basically the GuHong, but turns a little bit better and doesn't pop as much because of the torpedoes.

Which is better between the LunHui, LingYun, and GuHong?

Which is better between the LunHui, LingYun, and GuHong?

Depends on the individual.
Most would prefer the guhong.

Im wanting to get some new speedcubes:...
Not really sure what Im needing to get, I want a 2x2, 3x3, 4x4.
Im thinking of:
Stickerless Dayan Guhong
Ghosthand 2x2
Ghosthand/Shengshou 4x4.

If its not this. its probably going to be two 3x3s and a 2x2.
Also, please name any good sites with cheap prices and with cheap shipping to Australia ;]

(Not going to any comps soon, unless its extremely close to where I live: 3023 Melbourne)

 

[n00bcub3r]

lightake has some of the cheapest prices and free shipping but slow shipping

What are good beginner 2x2, 4x4, and 5x5 cubes?

2x2: Eastsheen
4x4: QJ
5x5: Shenshou/V-cube

I want a 3x3 that turns well, is not expensive and doesn't pop. This sort of goes without saying but I would like the cube to cut corners well, not necessarily insanely good, just good will do.

For the 2x2, I would recommend getting a Lanlan 2x2. It's cheaper than the GhostHand at LighTake, which does have free shipping.
For the 3x3, that's a good choice if you're not going to any competitions soon, like you mentioned you aren't.
For the 4x4, LighTake isn't stocking the GH/SS 4x4. You can get the Dayan+MF8 4x4 there, though, and it's generally better than the GH/SS.

I would recommend the zhanchi for a 3x3, either ghosthand, shengshou, or lanlan for 2x2, and shengshou V-III for the 4x4

 

[BC1997]

I want a 3x3 that turns well, is not expensive, is quite a bit resistant to lock-ups and doesn't pop. This sort of goes without saying but I would like the cube to cut corners well, not necessarily insanely good, just good will do.

There's no need to repost your question after an hour. Any of the new-ish cubes will work: A-V, CC, FII, FIII, Guhong, Lunhui, Zhanchi.

Sorry but it seemed like nobody was going to anwser.

 

[OliveMaster]

Should I get a GuHong, lunhui or zhanchi

I think the zhanchi is fastest but which is best overall

 

[Godmil]

2x2: Eastsheen
4x4: QJ

Dear gawd, no!
Nobody recommends those cubes anymore

2x2 Cheap: LanLan
2x2 Expensive: V-Cube
(not much between them quality wise)

4x4 Expensive: X-Cube
4x4 Mid range: Mf8/Dayan (note it is a slightly larger cube)
4x4 Cheap: ShengShou or Ghosthand.

 

[nickcolley]

Went for the one people recommended and it turns great! Plus the middle stickers are another challenge I guess

The best overall cube used to be the Guhong, but the Zhanchi is slowly gaining recognition as a very good cube as well, mainly due to its speed.
