Thanks for these threads!
I received a package containing a Yuxin Curvy Compino and a couple of Meilong 4Ms. A friend also gave me a Polaris Cube.
The Curvy Compino and Polaris Cube are fun puzzles, though not particularly difficult. The Meilong 4M is my first magnetic 4x4, so I don't have much to compare it too, but I'm pleased with it so far.
The Polaris Cube looks very scary once scrambled. In order to solve the little pieces between the corner and the center, it’s as easy as RLR'L' a couple of times, or do you use more advanced commutators?
I saw someone playing with a Polaris at a comp and I couldn’t even figure out what I was looking at. The pieces are so foreign
Not exactly sure what corresponds to "R" and "L" on an 8-axis puzzle, but a simple four-move commutator will cycle three of the little pieces. If you can solve a Skewb and a Dino Cube, you should be able to solve the Polaris Cube.
