Besides being passionate about video games I am a major Rubik's puzzle collector. Here are some pictures of my collection. If anyone wants to talk about puzzles feel free to send me an email. I am looking for a few puzzles I need for my collection so if anyone has any official Rubik's brand items they wish to sell please contact me.

If you are looking for any puzzles in particular that you wish to purchase let me know as I speak to many collectors on a daily basis all over the world so I can locate whatever it is that you are looking for.

Hello,

I only collect official Rubik's brand puzzles. I'm afraid if I start branching out my collecting to other brands of puzzles it will get out of control and super expensive real quick as puzzle collecting is very addicting. The cube on the top right is a 30th Anniversary Erno Rubik wooden cube modeled after his original prototype. Here is a collection you might like:

Ahh yes, the wood cube. I have a friend with one of those.

I don't really collect cubes anymore, I collect too many other things. I do enjoy keeping a good 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5 around, and speed-solving the 3x3

What is the acceptable method of shuffling them in a true random fashion?

There are scramble generators, I use the timer at http://www.cubetimer.com/ which generates a random scramble for each solve. The notation is pretty easy, U for top layer, D for bottom, L/R for left / right, and F / B for front / back. L means turn the left face 1/4 turn clockwise, L' is counter-clockwise, L2 is a half-turn.
