Siamese Cubes... worth it?

[Squircifer]

Hi all....

I like to get weird puzzles and I have seen the Siamese cube set from Mefferts and have thought about getting it for myself. At 30 bucks a pop though I have thought twice, but still would like to have one. Not to mention the Mefferts Megaminx.. I have 2 crappy chinese ones that I have resonably tuned to the point that you can solve them without problems. a

But back to the Siamese Cube... your thoughts on the issue? Is it worth it to get it for the collections and to play with?

Are there any videos of a siamese out there?

I've recently made a siamese cube, like this week, and it's fun. If you want to play around to find a solution, you can just tape 1 edge of a cube. It restricts movement the same, and doesn't require spending 30 bucks. Alternatively you can try to make the 3 pieces out of an old cube. It's not tough, but I'm betting meffert's pieces are a little more precise.
