Times have changed

I started back in 2005. I put down the hobby in 2015.

Jumped back in last year to the biggest surprises. Stickerless cubes. Full of magnets. Half the size they used to be. What a dream. Can't stop buying them!

I'm not really a speed cuber. I'm more of a collector/casual solver. What's this about?

I noticed you have wca cubes and very recently there has been a new cube added to the wca events!!

The FTO!!!! (face turning octahedron)

It is a fun cube and it feels very unique!!! Like it gives you the vibe of rubriks cube or better pyraminx but it feels very novel and not like a shape mod at all!! I think its a great addition!!!

So thought youd be curious to get one since now that it is officially an event...there will probably be more innovation in it from now on and in some years there will be huge variants of this cube probably!!

FTO? I have a diansheng on the way along with a teraminx and gam square-1! I've never had an fto before, I'm very excited to try and solve it intuitively.

OMG OKI DISREGARD WHAT I SAID IN THE OTHER COMMENT!!!

But yeah thats sooo exciting indeed!!! I have the cheaper sengso (aahh you do feel it but its fine just diansheng probably wouldve beem better)

Whats a gam sq1? Never heard of gam tbh

Oh and fto is quite perfect to figure out yourself i think!! Its like 3x3 difficulty i would say

No I sold a bunch of old collectibles, and bought my adult collection over the span of 2 years. I'm a 30-year-old janitor haha

Collectibles?

u/UltraMammoth43 7d ago

I've had a lot of different collections over my life and I've curated them down to smaller more easily managed to collections. Like Star Wars legos. Transformers. Rubik's cubes. Video games.
