New YJ 3x3 Cubes
So recently YJ came out with several new 3x3 cubes, and some people are unable to tell which is which. I was also confused, so I went to do some researching about them.
anyway, here are the 3x3 cubes that YJ is currently producing:
(These names are trasnlated from Chinese, so it may sound a little bit silly)
YJ Standard 3x3
Basically The Type D we are familiar with. There used to be a wide chioce of colors, but it seems that YJ only sell the white ones in physical stores.
I'd rather call it Type D without the "1"; I think we should respect the company's naming for the other cubes, unless it's some un-understandable codes.
YJ 3x3 Speed Edition VVGOO-1
What we used to call "Type D-II". The Chinese name is " YJ Sealed Mechanism Gen. 1"
This cube is a standard 3x3 with sealed pieces. It have even the unecssesary parts covered.
Personally I prefer to call it "YJ Sealed First Model" (or D1S, if you think it's too long) rather than D2, because YJ have made several other "sealed mechanism" cubes, and it would probably ecome messed up like the Type A naming if we use the old name.
(PS: The white one on popbuying is not the same cube as this one.)
Alpha-YJ Sealed Mechanism Speedcube I
Alpha once made an collab cube with YJ, called "國駿" In Chinese.
I haven't done much research on this cube, but the pieces is a little similar to the F2.
This cube is sort of the improved verson of the D2S; this cube is regarded as the best YJ 3x3 cube currently, from the reviews i read.
YJ 3x3 Speed Edition VVGOO-2
I think many people have this cube mixed up with the D1S (previously D2) because of popbuying. This is nobody's fault, it's just that we did not know this cube exists. This is what the White one on popbuying is.
I'd like to call it "YJ Sealed Second model", or D2S
YJ 3x3 Speed Edition VVGOO-3
An unknown cube. On the official website it says that the size is 6.5cm x 6.5cm x 6.5cm.
YJ's third "sealed" cube; I call it "YJ Sealed Third model" (D3S)
YJ "Finhop" Champion 3x3
This is a knock-off of the Alpha mini cubes, but they basically made it regular sized. r_517 posted a thread about this and two other cubes (Weirdest claim ever seen).
YJ Crazy OH Cube
YJ's mini cube for OH. copied from the Alpha V.
YJ "Finhop" Tiled speedcube I
Alpha III-SV knockoff
