    For my birthday last December, I got a Megaminx as a gift. I'm 99% sure it's from some store at a mall, since a teenage girl bought it. I don't have the packaging, but I remember that it didn't have a brand; it was marketed as just "magic cube" or something like that. However, it turns really well, and I actually prefer it over my QJ.

    Does anyone know what brand this Megaminx is? Is it just a random/KO Chinese Megaminx? (The stickers are cheap.)

    I'm almost certain that it's a Mefferts. There is a toy store that sells Mefferts cubes around my area.
    I live in Canada, I literally have to warm up before I cube :)

    I don't think it's a Mefferts; it seems too cheaply-made. It's probably a Macy's brand.

    marceldacs; I would think that the green color doesn't help much in identifying it; the more important is the shape of the internal pieces. Could you post more photos? All sides on each piece, plus the spider, and show the insides of the faces (where you adjust the tension); sometimes there is an emblem there. Or maybe compare with the photos here: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/sh...stem-of-Type-A

    I just bought a ZhanChi and GuHong V2, but stupidly mixed them up before trying them out, so I don't know which is which. One of them came pre-lubed and is awesome to use. The other one has been horrible, I haven't been able to (speed)solve it a single time without the cube exploding on me. I've tried tightening the screws as much as I can but it doesn't help.

    So a couple questions:
    1. How do you distinguish between the ZhanChi and GuHong V2?
    2. Are there tricks for the Dayan cubes to prevent them from popping/exploding? Would it help if I lubed it, or tried to sand down some parts or something? When I took it apart, I didn't notice any unusually misshapen pieces or anything.

    Thanks!
