Hey guys! I worked really hard on this video, so I thought I should share it with some of you.

Nice review. I feel like people don't stress the cheapness of this cube quite enough. Yes, it's $4 on TheCubicle, but in most shops it's usually between $2.5 and $3. On zcube.cn it's $1.25 and only $0.78/cube for 6 or more, so it would be the perfect cube for big MBLD attemps if it weren't for the corner twists. But it could be great for mosaics and could also be used as a speedcube for begginers. For it's price, it's amazing.

Nice effort, short and precise. Looks "professional"
In one of the solves, I notice a corner almost twisted.

In my opinion the guanlong is a good cube for the price, although to get this puzzle to its full potential it needs quite a bit of work, but even after that its still not a amazing puzzle, i think its worth to buy for collectors but not for speedsolving, because come on its like 2$ for a cube, it just a puzzle to pickup cuz its cheap.

Great cube for modding as well. Since they are so cheap, you can easily replace a mess up. I made a siamese cube out of my two.

Great review!
Very nice for modding, partly since it's so cheap, if you accidentally break it, just get another

Because that's where they bought it, so that's the price that they know of.

Just FYI, you might get more responses to this question in the puzzle choice thread here. But to answer your question I think the best YJ 3x3's are the Chilong and Yulong, with the Guanlong below that, and IMO the Sulong is absolutely horrible. Don't have experience with SS puzzles.

If you are after a decent,low price cube then I'd recommend the Thunderclap v1.
