This puzzle is pretty cool. Mine is kinda loose though, and is hard to keep aligned, so I think that's slowing me down a bit.
You can get one from Mefferts.

Solving a Gigaminx in 14:51 on the gelatinbrain applet.
My method:
1) Solve the centers with 1x2 blocks, like on the 5x5x5
2) Pair up the edges, again like on 5x5x5 (I show two different ways here, either doing a tredge at a time or solving with 3-cycles)
3) Solve the rest like Megaminx
