V-Cubes!

[Mike Hughey]

I'm having to remind myself to breathe.

That's set up for my multiBLD attempt, right? I feel sorry for the person who has to scramble the cubes for me, though.

 

[pcharles93]

I feel sorry for whoever has to judge your solves. We'll have to work in shifts and have night watches.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Let's see - figure I can probably eventually get to where I can solve a 6x6x6 as fast as Chris did on his first attempt, if I practice really hard. But since it's a multi, I have to slow down. Ultra-optimistically, 2 hours per cube.

2 * 209 = 418 hours = a little over 17 days.

I guess I'd better save up a lot of vacation at work.

Execution is gonna be a pain. You're gonna spend hours wearing a blindfold. When you take it off, the lights are going to blind you and end your cubing career. When you take off the blindfold you're ears will go into shock after days of silence and sudden applause. Execution of 6x6 Multi-BLD will probably ruin your hands. That single attempt may very well end your cubing career.

Oh, no - I hadn't thought about that! Well, then, I guess I'd better make it 209 7x7x7 cubes instead, then. If I'm gonna only do one, it might as well be the bigger one.

 

[pcharles93]

Uhh, how 'bout going for 209 1x1x1's? All the fun minus the pain and suffering and chance of losing your status in the cubing community.

The black version of the 5x5 has been added to the collection.

But why only now? Hmm.

 

[fanwuq]

It looks like the color scheme on the black one is inverted.
Are the stickers on the V cubes any good?

 

[cpt.Justice]

Its only inverted on one of the pictures, its normal on the picture that shows when you click it.

 

[RobinBloehm]

It might be orange from a weird lighting angle

 

[cmv0116]

hmm I wonder if there is a difference between the white and black 5x5's other than sticker color? You think there will be more products over the next few days?

 

[hr.mohr]

Some people have problems when the plastic are white and sometimes appear the white plastic more "soft". Don't know if this applies to the V-Cubes. I have no problem with white cubes so i'm happy

Hmm, I find it strange that orders #110 and #190 were shipped out before mine (#29). Did both of you order less than 3 cubes (1 of each)? Also, did you receive the notification via email?

I order 3 (5x5-7x7) I ordered on Friday the 20th of July at 7.50 AM GMT +8. On Tuesday the 24th of July at 10.41 PM i received an Enail saying thats its been shipped, but i could track. Then as of Thursday 26th of July at 9.30 PM i could track and the checkpoint details are first off "shipment picked up" and then "Clearance delay: and the stautus as of now is: Clearance delay as of: June 26, 2008 19:58. And yes all of this is via e-mail as i did not create an account.

What do you mean by today? As in its in your hands or in your country. (Just a bit confused because you said tomorrow)

 

[KoenHeltzel]

I just received my V-Cubes!
My order # was 234 and I'm in the Netherlands.

Strange thing is I didn't receive a shipping e-mail and the status of my order is still 'Processed' in the V-Cubes shop.

But they HAVE arrived

 

[Zava]

The order arrived to another of the four of us, and I'll meet him tomorrow.

Oh ok thank you.

 

[KoenHeltzel]

Just got my DHL e-mail (after delivery had taken place). Status in webshop is still processed.

So maybe the cubes will be coming quicker to you guys than you're asuming right now.

 

[cmhardw]

Order #135 here, and I just received my e-mail from DHL saying it shipped. The most recent note shows that it was picked up in Greece, so I guess it's on the way!

Hopefully I'll get them soon! I can't wait! I'm already itching for 7x7x7 BLD (too scared out of my mind to even attempt any sort of relay yet).
