If they're making cubes that are the same size as Mats' official times, then we can expect a pretty good keychain 2x2 soon.

The real question is, how expensive will the 7x7 be?

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

they don't have to use cm, now do they? Maybe they'll make a 0.56 decimeter 2x2.

Anyone know if FMC USA is going to be a thing this year?

Looks like we can expect a 5.13 cm Mini Valk3 pretty soon.

Yep, someone posted it on Reddit. I can't find a thread on SS, I'm surprised nobody thought of posting it until now.

Erik did make a thread, although that was after @Jbacboy posted it.

has anybody heard or no anything about a user called scubereo? And do any of the moderators know where he works, cause out of the blue he said he worked for amazon and wanted me to review their cubes or something. I saw he hadn't posted on the forums before so I told him to give me some proof he worked for amazon. Really weird considering I'm not world class at anything...

I got a message too. Again, not particularly fast.

Hi friend, are you still cubing? I'm from a cube retailer on amazon, would like to invite some one review our cubes. tell me in email: [email protected] if you are interested.


speaking of amazon, why don't people order there instead of from the cubicle or speedcubeshop? are the cubes worse? some of the prices on amazon are insanely cheap

There used to be problems with people getting cubes that weren't what they claimed to be (ordering an Aolong v2 and getting a Guanlong or something). There may be some reputable sellers on Amazon, and others to avoid, but most people just conflate those bad experiences with the entirety of Amazon itself and order elsewhere to be safe.

I just wanted to give people a heads up about the forum awards coming up in just over a month so be thinking about who deserves what...

2015 thread:https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/2015-forum-awards.56189/#post-1134712

unless somebody beats me to it, I won't include nearly as many categories...

EDIT: I'll probably be making the thread in just a few weeks so everybody has time to make their vote and announce the final results in early December.

I was sent what was meant to be a G4 by an Amazon seller so I could review it and it was nothing like my other ones. I'd be very wary about what I buy on there.

Yep, that's how it always works.
The first person to create a non-crap forum awards around December 1st wins.
