Where did the 11^3 cube come from? I have bought and solved the V-cubes 7. Which is a beautifully made puzzle and a joy to play with.

I did not think anyone was making anything bigger (apart from Oskar and his huge shapeways cube for $2387.78!)

V-Cube 7 is fun and interesting. V-Cube 6 is one I'm not as fond of. A little fragile for my taste...pops too easily

I have 2 favorite Rubik's cubes variations: the Triple Rubik's cube which is 3 regular cubes joined together and The Masterball.

I've been doing twisty puzzles since they came out eons ago...
Recently I've been stymied by the crazy 3x3x3 (saturn) and crazy megaminx (saturn).
Extremely challenging... Even harder than the Latch Cube, which took me longer than I'd have guessed.

After my recent purchase of Rubik's Mirror Cube, I'm utterly loving the shape thing and bought another couple of copies off Ebay so I could leave one at work :lol:

They sell them in China and Hong Kong.

I currently have a white and black 9x9x9 and 11x11x11. The white ones are the ones I have for sale as referenced in my sig.

Sloyd now have stock of a metal 3x3x3 cube! It weighs 280g, which is 3 times as much as a normal Rubik's cube.
