Are weilong v1s still in production? If I ordered one, would a v2 be sent instead?

Yes, I can confirm that they are still in production and that the V1 will be sent if you order that one

When is the MoYu 1x1 expected? If it's soon, I may just have to wait... LOL.

Heh... The MoYu 1x1 is already available -- just add a MoYu logo to any 1x1

Which shades are the closest to Cubesmith's half bright with bright blue? (http://cubesmith.com/3x3hfbrtwbrtbl.jpg)
It looks to me to be white, red, fluro yellow, fluro green, fluro bright orange?, and I'm not really sure about the blue

I can confirm what Lid and idreamincubes have already pointed out -- that the blue in that set is sky blue, and the other colors are correct as you have listed them. Hope this helps!

Personally, I'm holding out for a stickerless 1x1.


While you wait for a more official answer, I'll just say that if you're looking for the brightest shade of blue, the one with highest saturation, I think you may want to try the one called "Ocean Blue". As far as I know, it's the only blue shade that has the white backing of the fluorescent stickers. Even the so-called "Fluro Blue" doesn't seem to have this white backing layer. In tests I have done with a UV light, "Ocean Blue" fluoresces, but ironically enough, "Fluro Blue" does not. Here is a picture of various shades of blue stickers, with "White" and "Fluro Yellow" included for comparison.

The rightmost shade of blue is "Fluro Blue", and the one just to the left of it is "Ocean Blue".

In that picture, the light is provided by the camera's flash. Now here is the same picture taken using a UV light source:

As you can see, the "Ocean Blue" appears significantly brighter under UV light than the other shades of blue, including "Fluro Blue".

My guess, and this is mere conjecture, is that the color known as "Fluro Blue" received its name when a truly fluorescent blue vinyl material was as yet unavailable, named thus as a way to complete the full-bright set, and that later, when a truly fluorescent blue vinyl material became available, the new color had to be given the name "Ocean Blue" to avoid confusion among those who had come to expect a specific non-fluorescent shade from the name "Fluro Blue".

If my guess is wrong, perhaps someone in-the-know could correct me.

Very nice comparison of the colors! And yes sir, you are indeed correct about the Fluro Blue and Ocean Blue. Ocean Blue is a true fluorescent blue, but it wasn't originally available and we didn't feel comfortable changing up the colors, as that would just serve to confuse those who had already established their color preferences. It's a nice color that is basically a brighter version of sky blue, and I personally like it a lot.

P.S. I had no idea about fluorescent colors glowing brighter under UV light. Very cool!

For what it's worth, the Moyu shades color set seems pretty spot on except for the fluoro orange. The standard orange that I recieved from you guys seems much more comparable to the oranges I have gotten on recent moyu cubes. Other than that, I really enjoyed my recent order, and got it a day earlier than expected. Thanks!

Does anybody know Neil Morales' color shades? I like the blue, what shade is it, the rest idc about probably Half-Brights...

Glad to hear your order arrived earlier than expected! Also, thanks for your feedback about the MoYu color scheme orange, which we call "Fluro Bright Orange." We've had similar reports before, but it still seems like Fluro Bright Orange is the closest available match to MoYu's stock orange. Interesting that you found standard orange to be much more comparable to MoYu's orange though, since I always thought MoYu's orange looked kind of reddish. I'll look into it for the future and see if we can improve the MoYu color shades even further

I think it is this one: http://thecubicle.us/stickers_share.php?public_id=5922

But the only way to know for sure is to send him a PM (if he's on the forums) or ask him otherwise

In other news... Frosted Cubicle business cards are back in time for the holidays! We'll be including them with each order.

Also, we hope everybody had a great Black Friday and got everything they wanted! Just a gentle reminder that the holidays are a busy time for many vendors.

Not meaning to rush you guys in any way, but about when should I expect a package I ordered during the Black Friday sale? I'm sure you guys are swamped with orders, but I was just wondering. Thanks

Thanks for asking, and sorry about the delay with your order. We were a bit overwhelmed with higher than normal order volume during the Black Friday sale (and also the requests for bonus items), but we are pleased to say that all Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale orders should be shipped out by early this coming week. If you would like to inquire about a specific order number, feel free to PM me or email [email protected]

Hey, I ordered a white SS 7x7 Mini and received a black one? I'm wondering how to go about getting a replacement..

Hello, TheCubicle! Do you know if you will ever have different colored MoYu 6x6's in stock? I really would like to see a pink MoYu 6x6, like the ShengShou.

As far as I know Moyu as only made the 6x6 in White, Black, and Primary color.

Sorry to hear that, can you please email [email protected] with a picture of the item you received with the original packaging? We'll be glad to assist you further

Hello, TheCubicle! Do you know if you will ever have different colored MoYu 6x6's in stock? I really would like to see a pink MoYu 6x6, like the ShengShou.

I think it would be cool as well, but I'm not sure if MoYu has plans to do this since they haven't done it before with their other cubes. They might release a stickerless pink version eventually, like they did with the AoChuang/AoSu/AoFu, and then you could make a force cube that is pink if you got 6 of them! But that's quite difficult, and you would have to find other people to buy the 5 non-pink force cubes.

 

[TraciAG]

Ah, nevermind now. I took it out of the packaging just to see how it turned and I was so disturbed by the stiffness I spent an hour making it perfect. So it's probably not returnable now but thanks anyway.

Plus bigger black cubes look more satisfying when scrambled than biger white cubes.

When are you going to do the drawing for the Moyu 13x13x13 from the black friday/cyber monday sales? I know you guys are probably still backlogged, but I was just wondering when/where it would be announced, if at all. Thanks!

 

[NooberCuber]

for the silicone lube
there used to be an option on the page to add a dispensing tip
do they come with a tip now? or does one havw to order one separately from lube accessories

 

[richardye1]

Just wondering, if i bought something during the black friday sale and it still says "processing" should i expect it next week or is that just the lack of update frequecy?
