I's pretty sure they will be PVC's, thats what they sold at the Niagara Open last summer.

Does anybody know what the White Rubik's 3x3x3 DIY kit looks like? And if that's the REAL one they're going to be selling for $12.00 at the competition?

I assume it's like a Type C.

It's not a Type C, it's exactly what it says it is. A white Rubik's DIY. http://www.rubiks.com/Shop/Products/3x3 White Assembly Kit.aspx

But does it work basically like a type C?

I remember people saying that a Type C is similar to a Rubik's DIY -- if it is really that similar I will not buy this; otherwise I might (I have bought 2 Type Cs from eBay for ~$14.xx USD each)...

13 days!!! 3

Type C was supposed to be a Rubik's DIY clone, but I think they feel different. Don't quote me on this though, I don't have a Type C.

Does the merch get sold out all the time at these events? Cause if so, I will make sure to wake up earlier and get there early. Not hard, as I will be staying at the residence overnight.

No, not really (certain items and some low-stock items, though, usually get sold out, but everything's usually there for a few hours in the morning). Dave told me the merch list on the site is outdated (I assume he's restocked on some products already), and that he'd also be making a C4Y order to stock his merchandise, so there probably will be new items.

I might just get a Rubik's 3x3x3 DIY (White or black, dunno yet)...

Is it worth it? I heard they were like 19.99 somewhere CAD, (Or USD...???), but I wanted one just to see if it's like a Type C or better than any of my current speedcubes (lol, I'd bring stickers too, just so I can play around with it before the competition starts ^^)

Fantsmo, because I plan on burning quite an few dollarios on this event.

Go to university in Ontario, like I did. Pretty much nothing happens for us in the west.

Ooo, if so, then I might have to take my parents' invitation and head over to Vancouver this summer.
