I just gave away my modded rubik's brand, (I am moving away, and he needed a cube.) what 3x3 would be good? Should I wait for panshi? Or go ahead and get a stickerless guhong v2?

Panshi is out now. Stickerless cubes are not competition legal so you should go with a PanShi.

 

[Cubinguy]

you dont have to wait anymore for the panshi cuz on hknowstore they have it in stock.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

They'll be in soon on Puzzleaddictions.com (http://www.puzzleaddictions.com/dayan-vi-panshi-pre-order/) as well. If you are quick you can get a free set of stickers to go with it

On zcube.cn, you can get the Shengshou 4x4 and 5x5 together for exactly 15.20$

I am debating on whether I want to get a stickerless Zhanchi or a regular Zhanchi with stickers. The reason for this is I want a cube where there are no stickers because my mom will never buy me stickers. I have to have her buy them because I have no way of paying for them for myself because I don't have paypal. Anyway my concern is that the colors on the stickerless Zhanchi are they good? Like does they blend in with each other, or do they stick out from each other like a half bright set?

There bothe good but the stickerless one is not alowed in a WCA comp. the stickerless one has normal colors nothing special.

 

[Lchu613]

the colors on the stickerless are pretty good but I would just go for the normal zhanchi. you want something you can actually use in a comp

Dayan Megaminx: Which is better?

I'm purchasing a few cubes right now and I've been debating on whether or not I should buy the Dayan megaminx with or without ridges. It's most likely going to be the stickerless version but I honestly don't know which one to get. The ridges are useful for gripping the puzzle while turning but I'm not sure if it looks ugly Which one is better?

Thanks

 

[Shadows7]

I like the ridges.

 

[SweetSolver]

Are the Mozhi Pyramorphinx's any good? If so, where can I get a LanLan Skewb and a Mozhi Pyramorphinx for a decent price?

Stickerless Dayan megaminx with or without ridges?

Stickerless Dayan megaminx with or without ridges?

Ridges. It looks fine with them. You can barely see them.

 

[Matthew3075]

Thanks

smooth!!

okay. i know this topic has been brought up before but i don't think it has come up lately. i have a dayan zhanchi and i need to find a better altern. i was looking at the stickerless and its very smooth. i was looking for something smooth and fast and quiet.. i am waiting for the panshi to come in to see if thats any better. cornercutting doesn't need to be too great. i hate guhongs. period. hate them. worst cube ever to me.. i would rather speedcube with a store bought cube than a guhong..and i was looking into the wityou.. any ideas?

 

[kunparekh18]

You should ask this in the where to buy puzzles thread.

If you want smooth and don't want a Guhong, try the ShengShou Feng (Wind) cube. Reviews have said that it is very smooth.
