Where to buy Square-1?

Is there anywhere to buy the Square-1 puzzle anymore? I know that the Rubik's store used to have it, but I don't think they are making them anymore. Is there anywhere else that makes/sells them? I'd rather not get one off of eBay, though. Don't trust eBay, because the cube I'd get would probably be old with peeling stickers. =/

Found a few on Ebay.

Which one is better for speedcubing - Irwin Toys or Rubiks brand?

So far I haven't found any new ones, but I'm fine with a slightly used one as long as it still has all of it's stickers in tact and can be solved rapidly.

If I order one, and the stickers are in poor condition, is it possible to order replacement stickers or something? =/

Cubesmith has replacement stickers. I like them much better than what comes on the puzzle anyway, kind of cheap like the Rubik's stickers.

Excellent. It's good to know that I can order new stickers if the original ones are worn out. Are the cubesmith stickers similar to the PVC stickers from the Rubik's shop?

I have never tried PVC stickers, but cubesmith stickers a great. When they wear out, they dont peel off, they just chip off, so it doesnt really affect how the cube feels.

They're the same PVC stickers as his other sets. I'd say better than the Rubik's PVC stickers because they're a little thicker so the orange and yellow can't be seen through, plus they're much cheaper.

Excellent. I've won a bid for a Square-1 on Ebay, and am currently waiting for the total price to come in. It's shipping from Holland, so the shipping costs will most likely be pretty high, but I'm fine with that. Also, it'll probably take a while to ship. Oh well. I guess it's just more time to memorize the parity fixes for my 4x4. =/
