Well I have to say that the movement is wonderful, but the stickers on it are cheap and look like they were stuck on by a blind monkey :roll:

That's sad about the stickers as I was just about to order one. Think I will hold off for a while.

It is worth mentioning that you can buy good quality standard size 3x3x3 cube stickers. Then all you have to do is peel the old ones off, wipe the cube clean with alcohol, dry it and then add the new stickers.

Bit of an ordeal but at least it would look cool. :)

Have you got a link Oli?

I've found some but they're Stateside which is a bit of a distance for stickers :shock: :lol:

I've had good luck from this one for twisty puzzle stickers: http://cubesmith.com/

They are a pain to get just perfectly straight though...

Sorry I didn't have a link, but Monkey's one looks pretty good!

As for positioning, you could use a liquid glue that gives you time to manoeuvre the sticker into the right place before it dries. :)

The one I linked below is from the US, but it's USD$2 worldwide for shipping (free if the order is USD$15 or more), so they're pretty reasonable on that (except for time, which it looks like is up to 3 weeks)

Looks like it has mechanical issues though.
I think lube it and it will turn much better :D
