Guess what came in mail today?!
YAY! I got them all. A set of 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 and 5×5 Rubik’s cube just arrived home today. This was my first order from ebay ever; I got it from Omega Studio Cube Shop.
I had bought a 3×3 Rubik’s cube earlier from a local shop, here is how to solve a 3×3 Rubik’s cube. That one was the original Erno Rubik cube from Rubiks.com.
These are called Eastsheen Rubik’s cubes, no idea why. The quality of the 2×2 cube is awesome, 4×4 and 5×5 are good. The 3×3 is not as good as the original one (the 3×3 cube in this set is not from the same manufacturer as that of the 2×2, 4×4 and 5×5 cubes). It took 8 days for the delivery.
Satisfied and happy, can’t wait to solve them. Snap! I need to learn them first ๐

I always wanted one!.. ๐ Let me check the prices!.. ๐
Around 2000 bucks for the set including shipping, from ebay, paid via paypal ๐
how much days will it take to arrive?
about 2 weeks I think ๐
Well, I stumbled upon another cube. What have you got to say about this cube? @Arun
They claim that it is for speed cubing purposes.

Dude!
Its cool to know that shipping is free of cost! ๐ Should i go for this one? I’ve checked the feedback and found that it was 98.2% +ve. I could find a number of +ve replies.
Looks like a good deal to me, only if its a genuine speed cubing cube. Else you can get two for that price. Man, free shipping is lucrative, am feeling compelled to buy one.
I would say, go ahead and let me know ๐
Hi there,
Seems that the cube will prove itself in its quality. Will post an order as soon as my exams get over. Will let you know about the cube when i get it!
Happy Cubing ๐
Better order now and get it by the time exam is over, up to you, good luck ๐
Gr8 Arun, I too had one. But it is no more.. ๐
When did you ordered these cubes? and when you got it buddy?
Ordered on 28th, Got on 9th, came home on 8th but I couldn’t collect it then. So it took 8 days ๐
i want the 2×2!! (^โฟ^)
you can have it, so I will see you at the airport? ๐
Haha…How fast you can solve them?
around 4 months before when I was still crazy in these, my fastest for 3x3x3 is 16.67s and 2x2x2 is 3.51s.
I rarely practise 4x4x4 and 5x5x5. My 4x4x4 best was 1:27.xx..
Do you have other cubes? I have some other puzzle cubes like Pyraminx and Megaminx. I also have 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 ๐
OMG, you seem to me like a pro. am nowhere near you. I can solve 3x3x3 at about 1 minute, no where near you ๐
Which method you’re using?
I’m using cross => F2L => 2-look OLL => PLL…
If i memorize every OLL algorithms then I would be using full step advanced method…
I am using the normal method, I dont know what it is called. Using the videos of Dan Brown
I have to learn F2L and all, got any links to awesome online resources?
Best F2L tutorial I ever found:

There’s nothing like opening a box of new puzzles. I think that the 3×3 should be another brand, as Eastsheen doesn’t make 3×3 puzzles. Eastsheen 2×2, 4×4, and 5×5 were good cubes although there are so much more better puzzles right now. I recomend dayan zanchi 2×2, by far the best 2×2 speed cube. Shengshou Aurora 3×3 is an amazingly smooth cube and it quite cheaper then the others. Shengshou 4×4 which is decent but still better then other 4×4 and v-cube 5×5 where corner cutting makes such a good solve.
You are right, the 3×3 was a different make. I did notice that ๐
I’ve just noticed that the four cubes in the top picture appear to move in disturbing ways when you scroll the page up or down!
Haha! I felt dizzy. Nice find ๐
