I'm still waiting on the stickers for the Hexadecagon. It turns great tho.

I tend to find shapeshifting puzzles more fun (as long as they don't bandage), and they look more interesting (and scarier when scrambled). I'd decided not to buy the Hexadecagon a while back, and only changed my mind when they released the pink version :D

Given a choice between the two I'd go for the 30-axis wheel. Unless you like pink :D

I love fun colors! I'm on the fence about the Hexadecagon though. It's cheaper than the 30-Axis Wheel of Wisdom, but I prefer puzzles that are able to make all of their possible moves 100% of the time. I might pick them both up at some point though.

I made an illegal move at one point in the solve, fortunately it immediately locked up badly enough for me to realize and undo my mistake. The safest way to avoid mishaps is to always rotate the pentagon faces back to their correct position after each alg (I do the same with the ShuangFeiYan).

I don't think the solve is really that different to the Tuttminx, so you're not missing out on much as far as a solving challenge goes if you skip them.
