Calvin's Pyraminx Star 2x2

Okay puzzle, bad stickers

The puzzle itself is good. It doesn't turn great because of the sharp, pointy shape. The stickers are applied very poorly and started coming off right out the box. I will reapply the stickers with proper glue. That should resolve the issue but this shouldn't be necessary.

Jangly and large

I was excited to receive my 2x2 pyrastar so that it could go with my Troy 3-D Star (same shape but the 3x3 version), but then I realized that this puzzle is slightly larger, not smaller, than the Troy 3-D Star. I don’t really see why manufacturers can’t make their lower-order puzzles smaller or at least the same size as their higher-order puzzles. I have the same annoyance with puzzles like the skewb diamond in relation to the FTO. It’s much more visually appealing to have series of puzzles that goes up both in size and complexity from lowest to highest. Aside from that perhaps minor gripe, the puzzle also feels extremely loose and catchy even when the screws are tightened (which, were somewhat hard to adjust). Overall though, a neat puzzle and a decent challenge since the color scheme and lack of centers makes orienting sides fairly confusing.
