i didn't get any cor with my 3x3x4
so my mom told me to order one and one or two cubes
so i'm getting a square-1 and a es 2x2 ^^

Does getting a delivery on Jan 4th count as in the holiday window?

Yes, many people will get things for the holidays (there are many) won't receive them immediately. As long a what you receive was given as a holiday gift I think it applies, so for the next week or two I think posts are on topic.

After that though, this should probably fade away. And post pictures! There are far too many posts with no pictures in this thread

Well... I usually receive my puzzles in Australia, but I had two unexpected visitors here in Singapore:



But this is just the appetizer... right after the Hong Kong Toy Fair, expect a huge puzzle photo update,
as there are many puzzles (including rare ones) which have arrived in Australia and I have to wait! Aaaargh!




Pantazis

Arrived VERY late.

My Pyraminx Crystal, Jing's Pyraminx and Holey Megaminx arrived 2 days ago. They are great, although the megaminx doesn't turn too great at the moment. I think I need to break it in a bit.

-Mark-

After seeing the other screen shots in the thread, below are the puzzles I received.

Here's what I got for Christmas. Sorry for the bad lighting as this was taken with my phone's camera (I can't find my good camera at the moment).

Hanayama Marble is something I want but didn't get.

Here are my holiday puzzles. It's a bit late because my 3x3x2 took a while to arrive. Thanks to MarkSS for his virtual 3x3x2 that I used to figure out my own method for solving 3x3x2 while I waited impatiently! Being restricted to 180 degree turns on the sides made me confused.........for a few minutes.



I have 3 Meffert's Fisher cubes, a 3x3x3 Qubami, a Pyraminx Crystal, an Orb-it (orb) and my favourite puzzle at the moment, the 3x3x2!

I thought that it would be a good time to bump this thread, and a moderator confirmed my choice. Here's a reminder to post pictures of your Christmas or holiday gifts! Here's mine:



A few wooden puzzles, a Brain String, a Curly Cube, and a Slide

Also, I am expecting a package with a Vulcano, a Latch cube, a Rex Cube, and a DaYan Gem.

few days ago i recive my holiday puzzles

3x3 guhong
4x4 qj
silicon spray
3x3 dodecahedron qj
4x4 octahedron
3x3 hexagonal prism
2x2 lan lan
axis cube
c4u gigaminx
2x2 piramynx
3x3 rombohedron

I know a guy who sells puzzles, who knows a guy who owns a factory, that makes puzzles for a guy who sells puzzles. The end result?

The bug got Crystal puzzles for Christmas.


I'll edit this and post a better picture when we put the last 9 together. Today I helped with 10 of them and the key chains. My eyes have had it! (have I even mentioned how much I hate those things? )

I got a couple from Matt and the Bug:

The missing Aqua dance

and a not-yet-ordered Bloomberg cube (this was a sample from Rubik's. Not sure if the company is going to buy or not. Apparently my husband knows a guy....)

Rox, for those crystal puzzles, are the color variations just that, or do they all have different pieces?

some color variations, some different shapes. She got Mickey, Minnie, Pooh, Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty on a strawberry, a white rabbit, a white water drop, a golden horse, a yellow treasure chest, a blue shoe, a blue moon, a blue pyramid, along with those 11 keychains-put together today. a blue dolphin, a white skull, the earth, an orange sun, a pink bear, a white rose, a blue water crown,and a pink rabbit-to be done tomorrow.

I think the only thing she doesn't have now is the gold castle-she has the white one, the pink dolphin, and the white horse.

What is an Aqua Dance? How does it work?

it's nice to see but after some time i think become boring

My turn:

Here's a video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZZGRpjKRHE

That pyraminx crystal is an original tiled Mefferts one from Erik Johnson (thanks!) [and also for the Helicopter cube]
I plan on using Tony's sticker design on my new white gear cube, I just have to cut them from my vinyl cutter. I already
have a black gear cube.

Thank you Oskar! Keke loves it!


As soon as we hung it in his cage, he started chewing away!

And I do too!


(not exactly a Christmas gift for me, but it sure was for the guinea pig!

what's the name of the wood puzzle ,because i have it too but i don't know how it's call

I got:

-KO 360 (My Rubik's 360 is standing in for that one)
-QJ Pyraminx (even though I clearly stated "MEFFERTS BRAND!!!" in all caps)
-Hungarian Rings (Still sealed in what I think is a German gold seal)
-Orb-it (I had to hunt for this myself- I talked the price down to $25 )
-Rubik's Slide (I got 2 of these from different people)
-Megaminx (Chinese Tiled one even though I clearly stated "MEFFERT'S BRAND!!!" in all caps)
-Vulcano (which means they could have easily gotten the other Meffert's brand puzzles)
-Truncated HD (don't know what it's called
-KO Mirror Blocks (My Bump Cube is standing in for that one)



Now that I look back I see I got quite a few puzzles, but I was and am disappointed that my mom, who swears she's strongly against KOs of all sorts, didn't think about what brand she was buying them from even as I told her which to get.

A tad off topic: does anyone actually like the Rubik's Slide?

I have two orders from Mefferts with one arriving a few days ago. The first order has the following puzzles:

RexCube (white)
DaYan Gem (x3)
Crazy 4x4
Gear Cube Extreme (x2)
Vulcano

@DaveO: which crazy 4x4?

Concerning the Rubik's slide, it is kind of fun but challenging, sometimes frustrating, and difficult to figure out (mine did not come with an instruction manual ).

It's from Meffert's; the only one they sell is the third one.

I got my second puzzle package today. The first one came yesterday and had the other V-Cubes I wanted. The Dazzler is definitely my favorite puzzle now.



The second package I got was from Cube Depot and it included an Edison 3x3, Ghost Hand 3x3, QJ skewb, pyraminx crystal, and C4Y 3x3x5 and 3x3x7.



I agree with Muffet that the pyraminx crystal is very squishy. Does anyone know if it's possible to tighten the screws?

I just made a video of my new Holiday Puzzles (including those not pictured above!!). See it here. Thanks to everyone who contributed!!

Here's mine! I just got the last one (the box) from my parents today, because their order took a long time.
Total solve time for the gear cube, vulcano, pyraminx, dodecahedron 3x3x3, and puzzle ring- 14min 34.46sec

I received my Dael O'ring today!! For those who are not aware, the Dael O'ring is a puzzle that is much like a Cooksey Maze but the maze is on the inside of the ring (not on the shaft). It is also like the Doole O'rinth (from the same maker, I think).

I think the puzzle ring in that picture is the EXACT same one I have.. How many bands are on that one?

6 bands
Like this, but silver

2nd Mefferts order arrived today. Puzzles in the second package included 3 layer spinning top(x2), Christoph's Jewel(x2), and a Golden Egg(yellow). I'll risk the Scrambled Egg joke getting worn out before the next Arizona meeting.

Well I'll start off this years Christmas gift thread. (I mean it's Christmas here now so why not!)

Tonights presies are:



Not very twisty

I got a basic set of tools, a dremel set, socks, a Kindle, a curvy copter and CANDY
I will be able to post pictures later but I am currently on my phone.
What about everyone else?

A rex cube, a dino dodecahedron, a classical tuttminx (by myself ), some "Mozartkugeln"^^
and much much money finally and I promised not to spend everything for cubes again

Smartphone was my major one. Although I did get a souvenir 3x3 my cousin found in Montreal, each face is a major Canadian tourist attraction (CN Tower, Niagra Falls, Peggy's Cove, etc.)

The computer I'm typing this post with .

I have received a Canon Camera, and as a cuber's gift a Rubik's cube like (turnable) table, what is amazing. I'll post some pictures from it later.

Two Bermuda Cubes (Earth and Venus), two 3x3x9 variations, a Dino Cube, a new keyboard, mouse, headset, memory stick, webcam and other random things. A very good Christmas!

Nothing puzzle related here
Just some other stuff

I got a workshop chair, a comic magazine, some candy, ammunition for my hunting rifle, a bigger antenna for my hunting radio Yes I'm a hunter, a bunch of classic movies, a 1/32 scale 67 Bug. Although my baby is a 6 years younger, a steering wheel cover for previously mentioned car and a bag of coal
And some other random stuff

I got a Perplexus "for my kids", I'm seriously impressed, a lot of fun.. can't see the kids getting through the tough part at the start of section 2, I've done it all, but so far haven't been able to string a whole solve together, once I got all the way to 93 and kooked it there .
The Epic version is in the mail .
Cheers,
Burgo
EDIT (Sorry: `Kooked it` is a surfing expression that means to be uncoordinated: like a beginner surfer. I just read the online definition and it's terrible).

I got a $1500 budget for my first car!
Also got a pair of flannel Pajama pants, pair of jeans, under armor, underwear, razors, beatles glasses (drinking glasses) and a $25 visa.

I got a coffee machine! Its definitely gonna come in handy with upcoming A-Level exams in Jan and May. I also got a really nice cashmere jumper and scarf, and a promise for a gift cube if/when it arrives in post.

Oh yeah, and it was my 18th birthday too! Happy birthday to me

Merry Christmas and/or winter festive holiday everyone!

My Christmas present? A great day with all my family.

I got a Curvy Copter, an RC helicopter, Tic Tac Tome, some other things, and a new computer.

We celebrated the Solstice a few days ago. My highlights were an "iQube" 1x2x5 and motorcycle training. Midlife crisis here we come!

Nothing twisty related for once.
I got three complicated looking ring puzzles, a huge pile of shortbread cookies, and my favorite, Professor Jesse Beery’s Complete Illustrated Course In Horse Training!

I got a bunch of puzzles I posted elsewhere, but the best gifts I got were non-puzzle related. I got a pair of jeans I bought 2 months ago and couldn't find (Miss N. that sneaky cow hid them and wrapped them up for me-she thought it was a great laugh to watch me go crazy looking for them!), I got some warm dry-ease long sleeved running shirts (bright neon pink and blue so Mr. Man doesn't take them), but best of all, I got some time with bug to just do 'stuff'.

(oh yes, and another boat load of marking has just come my way )

I bought myself a 3x3x6. I got a new bed, an ipod touch, perfume, candy, money and custom plates for my car.

I got some money to help pay for my new car, a laptop, a 3x3x1( which im returning since it broke ): ), a Qj 3x3x2, Mefferts Fisher Cube, Void Cube, a Sengshou 4x4 and a Vcube 7 . Also I have a 2x2x3 on the way.

rex cube, truncated 4x4, SSQ1, rubik's slide, and perplexus.
