Looking to place a mass order

[Anushka Reuben]

Hi,

I'm looking to place this big order for cubes..mostly 3x3 for beginners..
I'm also thinking of buying a good speed cube for myself..nothing too costly..but something that won't pop..

With that, I'm ordering:

Sq-1
Pyraminx (can't seem to find a normal, non-tiled pyraminx around)
Globe
Mirror (silver/black)
Stickers 3x3 (dunno which to buy) and for sq-1 also
4x4
2x2

I just don't like the eastsheen ones..so any other brand is cool..
Apart from that, I need to make sure none of these cubes are in a bad condition; I'm placing this order for few of my office colleagues.
A little help would be great :)
And if anyone from Mumbai is looking to order, let me know..

Cheers!

Hi mate,

The QJ pyraminx are stickered, i have a white one, i recommend you go with white, some of my friends who had bought the black werent satisfied.( White looks better too IMHO)

Whats a Globe?

Mirror - Get the one from www.dealextreme.com . I'm very satisfied with mine, its quite smooth and can cut corners to an extent.

Stickers- I strongly recommend you DO NOT buy stickers for CUBES, go ahead with the SQ1. For cubes, just go to an automobile sticker shop and make it. its DAMN cheap. you can make in bulk too :)

For the 4x4 i have a QJ but its not too good, Try getting a ShenShou. 

2x2 get the LanLan, Or the Ghost hand. But i prefer lanlan, its heavier and can cut well. The GH is just plain faster than it. ( ES is good for a paperweight).

I've always bought from dealextreme or lighttake. They're BOTH good. No qualms there. Though the tracking from LT is quite bad , they are sure to deliver. I had  the status as " Departed to india" for 3 weeks AFTER i got the cubes. Both of the sites are trustworthy.

As for the 3x3, i'd recommend a Guhong, i dont know of the current prices, but i think mine costed approximately 670. But since you wanted something cheaper, Try the Type F2 though its nowhere near a Guhong. Just get a guhong, you wont regret it. Its got plenty of potential for your speed curve, you're not gonna be the same speed all your life, are you? Guhong Guhong Guhong. (If you'd like to spend more, try the Zhan-Chi, its 1k though)

Good Luck

Happy Cubing :)

Cheap awesome 3x3 for beginners: ghosthand 1

[Girish Ganesan]

Cheap, yes. But the investment in a guhong is worth the money. this is anushka , who's asking for herself, so the guhong would be nice, if not the F2.

[Nikhil Mande]

i meant ghosthand for "big order for cubes..mostly 3x3 for beginners"

@Nikhil: that would be a good option :)

Actually even I was looking for a good pyraminx. I couldn't find QJ pyra in dealextreme or lightake. 

Please share the link for pyra.

I found the following options cheap and placed on order recently.. The links might help

Globe: http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.2x2_XM_Globe_Magic_Intelligence_Test_Cube_Dark_Green-27337

There is another one, but I some how felt this looks better.

Mirror: http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.3x3x3_MF8_Frosted_Mirror_Magic_Cube_White-36573

It is actually black.

4x4: http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.4x4x4_SS_Spring_Magic_Cube_3rd_Gen_Black-45682

This is a SS V3. I saw it in SCO '11. It was just awesome!! It is cheap too.. Even the 5x5 is cheap,

3x3: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/3x3x3-brain-teaser-iq-training-magic-cube-52192 (Guhong)

       http://www.dealextreme.com/p/dayan-5-zhanchi-3x3x3-brain-teaser-magic-iq-cube-black-68924 (Zanchi)

I have ordered both the kinds of 3x3 just for the sake of having them. I tried Guhong in SCO '11. That was the best 3x3 I tried on so far. Not cheap, but totally worth it.

Sq-1: http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.MF8_SQ1_Magic_Cube_2nd_Gen_Black_-35357

I had this previously and bought this for Karthik. I was told that this is good. I am not sure if it is cheap or expensive.

I found a new kind of mirror cube and ordered that too.

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mirror-block-rubik-s-cube-magic-cube-puzzle-toy-58712

I haven't received these yet. But these are what I bought on feedback given by others as well as what I tried out in SCO '11

Not sent from my iPhone or my Blackberry or anyone else's
