Willing to buy a OLD Rubik's 4x4

[koreancuber]

My 4x4 looks like F1Z2L3's. So yes then, my 4x4 is the retooled version.

Oh, ok then, sorry.

I think the retooled version refers to the version with edge pieces locking with the center pieces:

Interesting. I haven't seen this design before. This would be a re-retooled version, however. The original Rubik's does not have those big holes in the core like the previous picture showed.

So to recap;

Original: Has none of those big holes in the core.
Retooled: The first picture in this thread.
Re-retooled(I guess?): Last picture in this thread.

Either way, OP, you should just get a mefferts/QJ. They will be far cheaper than buying an old rubik's and much easier to get.

If your confused:
Old:

New:

Like PatrickJameson said, the new ones have those extra holes for God knows why.

Mefferts.com sell tiled 4x4's for $16 including shipping. It has the same mech, and almost identical in every way to a Rubik's, except it's actually good. Or you could get a normal sized QJ (cloned on the Rubik's model) or mini qj, which is just a mini version. Why do you need it? Mefferts and QJ are basically clones.

Yeah, I was consider buying a mini QJ or a Mefferts, but I heard that the Old Rubik's 4x4 were the best, and I wanted try it out.

Where'd you hear that? It's definitely not the best. It's one of the worst. Yes, it is better than the re-tooled version, but it's no where near as good as mefferts, qj or mini qj.

If this is for general speedsolving, I've tried all three above, and I average the fastest with a mini qj. I've also tried the re-tooled 4x4, and it's horrible.

The WR was set with a mini QJ. Need any more convincing?

Perhaps it would have been set with an old rubik's if they weren't all worn out since they are no longer produced?

He is trying, maybe he do have QJs/Mefferts?

Erik Akkersdijk said that the Old Rubik's 4x4 was better than Meffert's. (In an old review so his opinon may be different now).

The 2x2 WR was set with ES. Does that mean it is better than Maru or LanLan?

I would like to try that re-retooled version, I wonder how long it will be before it is put into production, and how good it will be.

It's in production, all new 4x4x4's being sold by Rubik's are that version.

BUMP!

I will trade my Old Type A I White (good condition) with a 4x4 cube (Mefferts, Mini QJ, QJ). It doesn't matter if it's used unless it is in bad condition. Thanks
