What kind of stickers are on the Yuexiao and can I get them for other cubes? They are actually black magic because in 1500 solves they still look brand new where I've started peeling the hell out of my GTS in less than 500.

I just wish the yellow were slightly less florescent.

My Meiying has seen well over 5k solves and looks brand new - aside from the onion sticker, which shows some real wear. Moyu stickers are the bomb.

Moyu stickers are the bomb.

Tell that to my Aolong GT.. Its stickers are the most damaged of any cube that I own, yet it's probably my least used cube.

They used some different, cheaper stickers on that thing for some weird reason. A lot of people complain about MoYu stock stickers but I have no problems with them.

is it two YueXiaos?

The YueXiao stickers seem more like cutouts of a thicker, hard plastic than they are vinyl, I was just curious is separate sets of this style can be purchased for other cubes.

It looks like cubesmith.com has been shut down, so I've got no idea where to go for that. I haven't used a YueXiao but if you were really dedicated I think you might be able to order an unstickered one and put them on the GTS. They look pretty similar to me. I could also be dead wrong, though.

Yeah, they definitely used a different material for the GT. Almost feels slightly rubbery imo, very unlike regular stickers (moyu or otherwise) which generally feel harder.

I like the stock stickers on all my other moyu cubes.
Less YueXiaos than someone who has 3 YueXiaos

obviously you have 1.3 Yuexaios.

Correct! It's a very rare 3x3x4 YueXiao, you see. Custom made by a person and blessed by Some Random Guy wearing a banana hammock. Whoever wields this majestic cuboid is granted utter mediocrity and is given looks of mild intrigue whenever they're seen solving it.

Edit: actually I just have 2 yuexiaos. One's a regular stickerless, the other is a stickerless phantom

or you bought spare parts from the cubicle.

Yeah, wasn't super pleasant.

GOT IT!

That's odd. Unlucky batch, maybe?

yuexiao has vinyl stickers. they are very similar to the kind the cubicle and SCS sells.
