How soon will the Cubicle have the Qiyi Wuji 7x7 in stock?

I don't know why I'm so excited for this. I probably won't get one for at least another couple of months, but I am. The Qiyi Facebook page says they were released to market today, but I can't find them for sale anywhere.

Hi !
For Christmas I got a GTS M and a stickerless Valk M. The GTS M is fast and turns perfectly, but I feel like my Valk M has been drowned in lube. It turns very slowly (I guess that is why the magnets look a little bit weaker), the "The Valk" logo printed on the white center has progressively been totally erased, and when I first touched it my fingers got sticky and viscous. I also think the centers are screwed tighter than on my regular Valk puzzle. I think it's part of the "premium" treatment, but that might be a part of the problem.

What can I do to fix this cube ? I have already turned it for hours but it has changed nothing.
Thanks by advance.

You can loosen it?

Kk! So I checked, and they will arrive in 10-14 days.

That's what I just did. After about 10 full screw rotations it finally turns nearly as well as my regular unmodified Valk 3, but the pieces go away every ten seconds

Hmmm, maybe wipe away the excess lubricant.
It is possible that someone overlubricated the puzzle when it was prepared, with the expectation that it would break in after a few solves!

Great! I don't suppose you have information on what kind of price point they'll have, do you? And if you do you I suppose you probably can't share it, but it can't hurt to ask . . .

I actually don't know!

I talked to the boss, and we don't have pricing info yet though. ):

I suppose I wouldn't be far wrong to guess that once you do know pricing information that will be when they become available for pre order?

On a related note: are you aware of any plans to release the Yuxin 7x7 in black stickered?

It says you are a cube store in New York. Does that mean if i go to NY, I can buy cubes in person?
