I am unsure whether or not to buy this cube, fangshi, or a guhong. Which one would be the best out of these three for competition specifically?
2004228
I would definitely go with the Zhanci. The guhong is actually not competition legal thanks to V-cube. But if you are not really looking to be in competitions maybe the guhong is right for you. Basically the only difference between this one and the guhong is that the Zhanchi has torpedoes so the pieces will very rarely pop. Also the fangshi, while being a good cube, lacks the smoothness of the guhong or Zhanchi. So I would recommend this one

The answer is subjective. For me personally, I believe the Guhong V2 is the best all around. I have the stickerless version--so if you're not planning on attending any competitions, I say Guhong V2 all the the way. The Zhanchi 5 is a beautiful cube. Little more click-y for me. You cannot go wrong with either/or. I own both. If I were to have one on an deserted island, it would be the Guhong V2 (stickerless). It's my main cube. That being said, as long as it's not a Rube-Cube, go for it!

In my opinion speed is slow, and spin is ok to mediocre. But I'm used to Chinese paddles and rubber, haven't played much with Euro or Japanese stuff. Of the Chinese stuff, I now prefer the less tacky, softer rubbers and sponges, that are closer to Euro rubbers. But this still feels dead compared to the Chinese Euro copy stuff. My buddy who's a decent player but not great prefers this to my Chinese paddles, because he says he retains more control.In your position I think I'd go for the Stiga Pro Carbon. I haven't tried it, but based on the descriptions and speed/spin ratings, it seems like it would be more lively. In my opinion speed is slow, and spin is ok to mediocre.

Bamboo Create. It was my first tablet. I got it 5 years ago and it's still fully functional through all the years of wear and tear. It's not a huge one, but it's a nice size for beginners or hobbyists. The pen pressure levels aren't too bad either. It comes with two free art programs for Windows and Mac.

The Sizzix Big Shot is probably my suggestion. Good luck. It's a tricky card to make, but you'll love it when you're done.

I would just buy a higher end blender but not the bullet brands. I had to return two of them. The sharper image is inexpensive but if you are looking for the blade, not sure if its sold separately. I'm certain you already checked the web.

I would stick with the Dahua ones only issue/requirement is hard drive needs to be WD AV-GP. I tried several other China NVR and it had issues with motion or iphone app didn't work.

Tarek, I am glad I could help. You are correct in that Amazon has added the new version to their database. Doing an Amazon search for "HKGOPLAY5BLK" will pull it up. It is interesting to note that some places it is HKG<zero>PLAY5BLK but I believe Amazon has it correct with HKG<capital o>PLAY5BLK.Once Amazon gets them in stock I am sure they will correct the price to $350 or below since that is the actual MSRP.I can see how the cost-benefit margin might be slim if you don't have an i-anything, have you considered the Soundsticks II? The aesthetics are certainly better than the Z-2300. Either one is at a price point that might allow you to get the new GO + Play when you get an i-something and the price has come down.

I love the ninja. I had the MagicBullet before and it was a disappointment. The ninja holds more and does a much, much better job on ice cubes. I use it mostly for smoothies but the big bowl (40 oz) is nice, too. I made gazpacho in it last summer and it was perfect. One of these days, I'll get around to making some of the other stuff in the recipe book.

For having fun, this bow is pretty rugged, and does a pretty good job. I bought a carbon fiber double bass [url=http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Mongolia-Horsehair-French-Carbon/dp/B00BRACFS2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1418413292&sr=8-2&keywords=carbon+fiber+double+bass+bow#customerReviews [/url] bow to play on my gigs. The Mongolian black horse hair is finer to me than regular horse hair and plays well. The bow itself is almost bulletproof. I've lost fewer hairs than expected, so the build quality seems excellent. The tightening mechanism is relatively fast, which I appreciate, and doesn't lose tension. As standard technique, don't forget to loosen the bow when you're done so all the hairs don't pull out when you're not playing. The tip has a little turned-up nose, which you can sometimes use for a special, tiny sound effect. The width of the hairs is wider than some bows, so getting the string to vibrate at first is a little easier, which makes you sound more professional. A major factor will be choosing the perfect rosin, which I still haven't found. Lots of good rosins out there however. YMMV. As of Dec 2014, Amazon has one for $103.99 after shipping. You can spend less, and you can spend a whole lot more.

this is very smooth, there is no fear of stickers to be moved out what I found in in v cubes. it is really good. it is almost three years I am using it. the most amazing thing is even if some cubes comes out it is very easy to fix it. I had this experience since my nephew(5 years old) take one cube out. this is very good.

Yes it's really a Zhanchi with the corner gaps you're asking about. I'm assuming they just used some crap stock cube image for the item picture. Rest assured, the seller I purchased from sells legit Dayan cubes. Hope this helps!

My son 12 says yes. He thinks the shengshou turn better then the rubiks brand.

I dont own one but from the reviews on YouTube, samurai Pegasus is one high speed bey. And been part of the synchrome system, you can replace the plastic wheel, with a secondary warrior(metal) wheel. As for quality, Takara Tomy is the best in the beybusiness. It really comes down to your play style. Like me personally, I'm a defense player with the offensive edge. Hope that helps

I think qwirkle cubes is better because you have the option to roll the cubes to better your points. Everyone playing can see what you have and that is different from regular quickly where you can stand up the squares to hide them from the other players.

ZhanChi is supposed to be faster. More ease for speed solving, by design. If you want to go faster, the investment of a couple of dollars will serve you. But if you're a casual solver it won't make much of a difference for you. Hope this helped.

I bought 3 of these. Three of three were NOT straight. I would recommend you spend a little more on a quality weapon. Try here: http://www.crane-mountain.com/styled-3/styled-13/index.htmlThese might be hardwood, or they might be something cheaper. They do dent easily. Bokken are not really meant to take abuse though. If you are looking for something to hold up to striking or sparring, I would suggest a Shinai(bamboo Sword). These will work for kata, but if you are spending all that time perfecting your kata, shouldn't your weapon look nice as well? I ended up getting a bokken from my dojo for $10 that was much nicer than these bladeUSA ones. I bought 3 of these. Three of three were NOT straight.
