Anybody know where to get a 5x5 and bigger online? None of the ones PD gave me do. I dont really need them, but i would like to have them lol. I'll most likely be using speedcube shop for my purchases

Do you live in New York? www.cubingstore.webs.com/ will give you faster shipping. Hmm If you want a 5x5, get the V Cube brand. They also have the 6x6 and 7x7 www.v-cubes.com/prod_info/index.php It's in Greece. And 18 Euros-ish It takes a week to process the order and maybe 1.5 weeks to arrive. They also sell V Cubes on Amazon.com, so search V Cube there. I'll reply to any Questions you have.

WTH??? When did Cube Depot get all that crap?? I just ordered a ghost hand, a 2x3x3, and a QJ 4x4 for a much more expensive price, from god damn california, when all of a sudden, Cube Depot has all this new crap that wasn't there 3 days ago. Dammit.... I'll be ordering a paraminx from there prolly. Anyway....
My speedcube times are getting worse. My rubiks cube is really messed up and really slow since i use petroleum jelly. Imma put silicone on my ghost hand tho. and most likely on my QJ, and prolly the 2x2 my dad ordered from the rubiks website. idk why he even did that tho lol

WTF IS RONG WIT YOU? 2)If you're gonna use silicone, it beter by CRC or Jigaloo, cause those are the ones that work best.

Lol i have Heavy Duty CRC, i just didn't know it was better at the time. But right now, my cube is screwed for now. But Still.... Cube Depot would be MUCH faster. I'd rather take speed over money, unless there was a HUGE difference in price. But oh well.....
Question. If i take all the stickers off my rubiks cube, do i have to mark which side are certain colors, or does it not matter?
Also, if i washed off the petroleum jelly off all the cubies, then put CRC on it, would it still make a super glue?

Yes, after spraying CRC, it will stick but if you force it loose, then it's uber smooth. About the stickers, it's not rly that big a deal. You can stick on new ones according to your own color scheme. Some people even make custom stickers for them!!

Where'd you order your 2x2 from? And btw, the best color scheme everyone uses is White on the top, yellow on the bottom. From left to right, red blue orange green.

I told you once already that my 2x2 is coming from Rubik's. It sucks lol. But im not interested in speedsolving a 2x2. I got my Ghost hand today... its freaking amazing. I'm having a horrible time with my 4x4... something is wrong when i try to solve it, so ima look it up now. My 2x3x3 is fun to play with, but im not sure how to actually solve it, so i haven't scrambled it yet. Other than that, no 2x2, and no new stickers, and no crazy cube that is on its way from Hong Kong..... its crazy, because it moves from corner to corner, digonally, instead of side to side... i can't wait for that one lol

So i have all the cubes I ordered now, except fo the one from Hong Kong.
The 2x2, i just got yesterday, and broke it. So i put it back together, but i'm not sure that its working right....
The 2x3x3 is really smooth, and well built. I like it, beacuse it doesn't really need lube, and it makes people got WTF??? But i think i will still buy a Crazy 2x3x3, just because it can move when the middle layer is half turned.
MY 4x4x4 is awesome, and it moves good as well. I'm not gonna bother taking it apart, as it I will most likely never get it back. I can solve it, but i have to use my alg cheat sheet for parity errors, cross errors, and for the Allen Method, because i dont solve a 3x3 like that.
3x3 Ghost hand is good. Moves nice, not gonna lube it for a while. I'm not sure I like the stickers tho, as orange and red are really similar looking.
And for my Rubiks brand, it looks BRAND NEW. I CRC'd it, and re-stickered it. It moves and cuts corners just like a speedcube, and it just looks better. definately my fave cube right now.
Thats all for cube updates....

The Rubik's 2x2 might need some lube. If you are not feeling secure with the 2x2 assembly, look up a tutorial on Youtube on how to assemble it For the 4x4, after breaking it in, if you want, pop an edge piece out, spray a few squirts of CRC in it, put the edge back in, and work it in. You can also find an assembly tutorial for this. The GH stickers...*sniff* I know how you feel. Because the stickers don't reflect light. Okay, scientifically, it does. But not room like or anything. I now have a V Cube 6x6x6! Modified it using a tutorial by Memyselfandpi and it's aesome right now. 10 min avg righ now... Have you joined speedsolving yet?

Also, memyselfandpi is a giant....... gay face lol. His voice is annoying lol.
Also, the 4x4 came lubed, and it moves quite well, so i dont think ima do anything to it for A while...
And should i even lube my GH? It seems to move well enough without it, im sorta scared to do anything lol
