    Last year before the Zhanchi was out I had gotten 100 black LunHui's and the errors were enough to make me get DIY all the time now.

    Several cubes had no torpedoes.
    Some had Guhong corners
    Almost ALL of them had 2 washers on each screw. One of them had 5 on one screw.

    Some other encounters:

    1. DIY bag with 42 torpedoes
    2. DIY bag with 20 edges (no corners)
    3. DIY bag with 12 center caps (no pieces)
    4. DIY bag with only edges, nothing else at all.

    statistics (estimates):

    ~5% of Zhanchi DIY bags have something extra or missing
    ~20% of WitLong DIY bags have something extra or missing OR NOT COMPLETE.
    ~10% of Dayan 4x4 Cubes that are factory assembled have stripped cores.
    ~90% of factory assembled Dayan 3x3's don't have equal tension.

    Tension is something totally not important IMHO. That can be adjusted as easily as 1 2 3. However the rest is Baaahaad.

    I actually bought the assembled stickerless Dayan to avoid missing pieces because I was scared the DIY would have missing ones. I should turn that view around alright!

    Currently I have a pre-assembled ShengShou 6x6 with at least 4 missing inner pieces. Needless to say the seller has been notified, but yeah.. I see where you are coming from with the DIY preference!
