I got it before I even started solving.
I had an old glitter cube, then when I decided to learn how to solve it after finding DB's video, I couldn't find it, so I bought a new one.
Forgetting the early 80's where they were all store bought or early copies worse than store bought. Wife bought me a store bought for xmas last year. Think I was 1:30+ when I got my 2nd cube early last month, a Haiyan's Haiyan cube (A VI) - Not much other choice to buy within UK. Marginally ashamed to say have over 20 now but my preference is Lingyun. Got to love obsessive compulsiveness
I think something like 40 seconds?
I since then dropped my FII since the stickers peeled off and currently use my Rubik's Storebought. I average 19.62 out of 100 solves. :|
I had a storebought until I was averaging low 30s.
I got my ghost Hand II until I was about sub 30
Got my C4U DIY, but it didn't help my times.
Got my F(II) and narrowed my times to about sub 27
Then I forget but now I use a GuHong and LingYun and I average 18-22ish
