YuXin 11x11

Don't bother. Just get the new 11x11, any one but this one. This was the first 11x11, but the newest Yuxin 11x11, the Huanglong, is about a billion times better. Even the shengshou is better. This is an old, outdated puzzle. I mean, if you want to collect it, sure, just don't come whining to me about this old (orange) puzzle.

When I received this package at my doorstep, I couldn't believe the size of it. I am not one for working out to often, so I knew that there was no way I could lift the package into my home. It was very heavy, and I eventually just got a couple of friends to help pick it up
I arranged a few guys to come over and demolish my home. But don't worry we rebuilt it a few inches over so that the package had a roof covering it. But the challenges were still not over...
I had to find a way to open the package that contained the Yuxin. All of my knifes were in the dish washer. Then I remembered I had 20 sharp objects, my teeth! I fast as I could I bit around the package. The swallowed and spit out cardboard. Then I saw it... The 11x11 laid right in front of my eyes.
My heart raced and pounded against my chest. Little did I know but in the next 3 seconds I was to pass out!
Minutes past by until I woke up. This was it, now was the time I would turn the Yuxin! I lined my hands up against the edges of the cube. My muscles vibrated as I readied myself. The soft layers of the cube turned with ease and I squealed with joy! After seconds of playing the puzzle popped! I didn't feel like putting it back together, so I just threw it away.
Overall I really enjoyed my time with the Yuxin 11x11 and I think you should get it.

I received this for my birthday, as I wanted the 11x11 for a while. When I opened the box, a bunch of orange stickers were falling off. Luckily, I read the previous reviews and soon realized that I needed extra stickers. I got Cubicle stickers for my 11x11 as well, so after I did some first turns, I got right to restickering it. It took me about three hours, and because it was the first puzzle I have ever restickered, I didn't do a perfect job. But from a distance, it looked amazing in my collection.

I wowed many of my classmates with this thing, which made me more popular in my school. With a little bit of Maru axis oil on the screws, it turned excellent, especially on the inner layers. I experience only about a single pop per solve, but they're normally 4 edges popping out, maybe a couple centers. You may struggle to reassemble it at times, but it doesn't take long for me. Corner cutting is about a single cubie. If you do any more than that, the puzzle will explode. I align the layers almost perfectly every time, so that's not a problem for me.

Overall, this is a must-get for any cuber. Then again, it's not as high quality as the Shengshou 10x10 or Moyu 13x13, but it's still amazing, even after considering all of the things that are bad with this puzzle. And to this day, I wonder if Yuxin is ever going to release a 12x12.

This cube doesn't have too much quality to it. The pops are very frequent, the lockups are insane, the stickers fall off so often that the spare sticker set ran out quickly, and the pillowed shape makes aligning the layers a nightmare. Judging from the quality of MoYu's 13 by 13, this puzzle could've easily been much better

Cube turns great, fun to solve, but... GET EXTRA STICKERS, and get ready for a sticker job, because the ones that come on the cube really suck. But overall very...good cube , YuXin set the barre high with this one.

Smooth but didn't come in the shown display box

It turns well, However it does pop quite a bit; I'd say it pops about 3 times per solve. The stock stickers aren't that great, so if you are going to buy one I recommend getting a spare set of stickers with it. Make sure you order it from a reliable source (i.e. TheCubicle.us, HKnowstore, etc.) because if you order one off of somewhere like amazon, sometimes they will send you a Mofang, and possibly the wrong color also; This happened to me the first time I purchased one. The day I got it, I scrambled it, and tried to solve it, but by the time I had completed the centers, about fifteen to twenty stickers had fallen off, and even more were starting to slide around the pieces; It was about a year before I finally got around to re-stickering it. Once I had gotten all of the stickers off, I proceeded to use nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol to get the abundant sticker-goo off of the plastic (the nail polish remover gets rid of the goo on the puzzle, and also the adhesive on the stickers you are applying, so wait for it to dry; this should take about 3-4 hours), and once i had the stickers applied, it was great. I solve it about twice a week now (I am a High school student enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program, so I don't have much free time). Solving it takes me about an hour total. If you enjoy solving higher order cubes, I would definitely recommend getting this puzzle if you have the money, but again I recommend getting a good set of stickers with it.

It is cool that it is an 11x11, but the stickers are HORRIBLE. I already had to replace some stickers, and now they are all falling off. I can't finish my solve so I am going to have to buy another set of stickers.

It is a very good cube for its size. But when it comes, right out of the box 17 of the stickers were messed up, It also gets pops (and big ones) and it locks up. It doesn't turn any better with lube.

Pros; Great turning, very stable design, very fun to play with and just to show off.

Cons; Poor sticker quality. Stickers came already falling off and with some black smudges. Buying extra stickers is a must! It can Pop if you cut it over 1 cubey.

Either or; Fairly heavy, very large.

Final thoughts; Very fun cube. Only gripe are the stickers, I advise you to get some extra stickers with your order, just in case. It's very fun to just turn and to play with and admire. Solving it, especially in front of others, is pretty cool and fun, even though it takes quite awhile.

I do recommend this cube, providing you have the patients to deal with the stickers.
