I already posted about my speedsolving averages, so I thought I'd also post about my puzzle collection. Sorry if this is in the wrong category, most people are posting this kind of stuff in video gallery, but this is not a video so I'm posting it here.
- Main Speedcubes:
- 3x3: GAN 11M Duo, it's the GAN 11M Pro but cheaper and basically the same so yeah
- 2x2: YJ MGC Elite 2x2, I was getting all the MGC cubes so that's why it's in here
- 4x4: YJ MGC 4x4, same reasoning as the 2x2
- 5x5: YJ MGC 5x5
- 6x6: YJ MGC 6x6
- 7x7: YJ MGC 7x7
- 3x3 one handed: GAN 354M V2, the store I was buying from didn't sell the GAN Mini M Pro yet so I thought this would be the next best thing
- Clock: QiYi Clock, people are unanimously saying this is the best one
- Megaminx: GAN Megaminx, just got this one because it was from GAN
- Pyraminx: GAN Pyraminx Enhanced, same reasoning as the megaminx
- Skewb: GAN Skewb Enhanced, also same reasoning as the megaminx
- Square-1: YJ MGC Square-1, I tried the X-Man Volt and it was way too slow, and I heard the Littlemagic was bigger, and the MGC was the only other good option
- 3x3s:
- MoYu RS3M 2020, the best budget cube in my and most people's opinions
- YJ MGC Elite 3x3, I got this because I wanted to get all the MGC cubes and it ended up being not that good
- MeiLong 3x3, I was making siamese cubes and I wanted some backup cubes in case something went wrong
- MeiLong 3x3 again, since you need 2 cubes to make siamese cubes I wanted 2 backups
- Unknown brand 3x3, I got this one (and the rest of the 3x3s here) around 2-3 years ago, when I was also into cubing but I considered it more of a skill than a main hobby, so I didn't really care about all the brands and stuff
- V-Cube 3, same thing as the unknown brand 3x3
- Worst cube in the universe, it has the wrong color scheme and it's also all dusty, I lubed it with Stardust (SpeedCubeShop's fastest lube) but it's still terrible
- Other WCA:
- V-Cube 4, do I really need to explain this one?
- X-Man Volt V2 Square-1, this one has a funny story. I wanted to disassemble my MGC Square-1 (big mistake), and I broke it. So I wanted to get another one, but it was out of stock on the store I normally buy from. So I had two options: get a Volt from that store, or get another MGC from a store in the UK. So we tried both. And I'm glad we did that because the Volt was terrible in my opinion.
- Non-WCA roughly in order of difficulty:
- QiYi Ivy Cube, like a skewb but with half of the corners removed, easiest puzzle in my collection in my opinion
- MoYu Redi Cube, since so few pieces turn at once it's pretty easy
- QiYi 2x2x3, I hate people that call this the tower cube since there are also other tower cubes out there
- QiYi Pyramorphix, 2x2 shape mod that looks like a pyramid, pretty easy. I also went with with the spiky version, not the pillowed one
- MeiLong Kilominx, 2x2 megaminx, I would say this is easier than 3x3 but definitely not easy
- QiYi Master Pyraminx, 4x4 pyraminx, no idea if I would consider this easier than 3x3 or not
- QiYi Mirror Blocks, 1 color but all the pieces are different sizes, probably the worst turning speedcube in my collection
- Siamese Cube mod made out of 2 MeiLongs, this is why I got those other MeiLongs from earlier. Also they're 1x2x3 not 1x1x3 in case you were wondering
- ShengShou Mastermorphix, 3x3 shape mod that looks like a pyramid. For this one you can get center twists/parities which can be pretty nasty. This one is pillowed, not spiky, I think the spiky one looks weirder
