TheCubicle.us - High Quality Puzzles, Custom-Cut Stickers, Premium Lubricants & More!

Just to update everyone wondering about the $95 order issue: we have taken care of it. It was an uninsured international order that got lost. Things get crazy when packages get lost because it's hard to source the problem. We hope that no problems ever surface, but if they do pop up, we are committed to solving every single one.
For the record, I'm totally safe to talk to. I'll even give discounts if we haven't talked previously.

Unfortunately, we don't anticipate the CX3 soft springs coming in soon. We should have them within a month. They are kind of hard to get.

Do I still owe you from our talk of OH back in December 2014 C:
 
Do you guys think you will ever sell compartment boxes to store cubes in your accessories?

I know you can buy them in other places but it would be convenient to get them on your site with the rest of our order.
 
What type of compartment boxes? They sell these for 3x3 (http://thecubicle.us/plastic-cube-p-3144.html)

I think by compartment box he meant like a box with multiple compartments where you can keep different cubes. example: a bunch of 3x3 compartments and a lube/screwdriver/sticker compartment, or a 2-3-4 skewb pyra mega square one stickerscrewdriverlube box would be awesome.

Or a travel pouch - Room for one 3x3, a screwdriver and some lube.

On another note -


Thank you TheCubicle for the speedy delivery across the pond :P

I always thought it would be cool to have one of those aluminum briefcases with a foam cutout for each cube.

I would pay big bucks for one that would fit at least one of all WCA puzzles, that came with black foam. Or a backpack made for cubes/cube gear. That would be awesome.

They do this for yoyos.

And Penguin, I'm a girl :)

I have an idea - A colour similarity chart.

I ordered full fitted stickers for my Aolong V2 and I had a bit of an issue with the red and orange sides. See, by looking at the images on the website I thought that they would contrast quite well.
However, that wasn't the case. This is my cube in a checkerboard:

Unfortunately the image shown doesn't do justice to the actual physical cube. I think it will be alright for now but the next time I order from TC I will definitely include a different shade of red to replace this one.

I thought of a way to prevent this from happening to others. A simple tool where you can select two opposite colours and an image will be shown with a model cube in a checkerboard pattern with both of these shades together. This would probably have to be a CGI because the different combinations of two opposite shades possible would be huge. However, an easier way could be a simple scale from one to ten that indicates how much the opposite colours contrast. A rank of 1 would mean that the two colours are very difficult to tell apart when put on the same cube, and a rank of 10 would mean it is almost impossible to mistake the two for one another (something like white and black). These numbers could be generated by an average of user submitted responses, and for combinations where there are no responses, a number that the staff at TC have chosen.

To all, please reply with your thoughts/opinions on this.

I think the problem with this concept is that color discrimination tends to be very subjective. If you have a group of people take a color hue challenge like the following one, the results will vary considerably:

Even if you create an average of what works best for most people, it doesn't determine where your color deficiency may be. It also doesn't account for context like lighting, black or white plastic cubes, etc. The only way to find the best shades for you is with trial and error.

What would be useful would be a discounted set of all colors and/or sets for each color (yellow, blue, etc.).
