Where the hell do you buy all the "type" cubes, like Type-A?

[Applemoes]

^diansheng is Type E when given a type btw....but its rarely ever called a type E

Aha, that's good to know! I've also heard about different no. in dianshengs. What's to difference between them and how do you know which is which if they're the same size?

How the hell do I sort by "all cubes" or brands on dealextreme? Searching for only "cube" is hardly precise :/

What do you mean with "sort"? If you just mean searching the puzzles, "cube" is a good search term there but "IQ" is better.

I mean a sorting system like popbuying or something. Dealextreme doesn't seem to have a specifik category for cubes

Diansheng no.333 is painted, and the Diansheng no.222 is stickerd.

The .333 and .222 are all the same size, the difference is the .222 has different cubies and a different core and is often considered the better of the two. Problem is most places don't sell .222s, the cubies are pretty much the only way to tell the difference(the color core on the .333 varies and has a color identical to the .222s core). The .222 has edges(when taken out) that look very much like Old Alpha 1's or a regular rubik's brand, the .333 has edges that are sort of cut off at the area closest to the core(similar to the F II).

Oh and the .333 comes only with painted on "stickers", the .222 can come with both the painted on "stickers" and regular stickers.

If this is totally correct (.222 allways stickers) then I guess pop has the .333 version. Doesn't really matter though because its my first speedcube. Altough if it is like "dabear" says and .222 sometimes is colored then I guess you can't be sure until you hold it in your hand.

Thanks for clearing that up guys!

If DS are the "type E's", is there a webpage or something that lists all the brand name for the types? That would clear up everything for me

That SSwiki link was awesome! Really informative Thanks for that. I'll read up on it for a while. Watched the youtube review too. Shame he didn't have an F-II because I've heard alot of goof about it.

From his review I think the type A and E/diansheng looked the best. Also heard that the mini-C is good

 

[miniGOINGS]

Yea, the vid is just over a year old, so no FII.

The Wiki may not have everything, but it has a lot of informative stuff (I have it bookmarked! ).

No joke, I was just about to end this with "Cheers!" Conrad is getting to me!

fii ftw

I'm thinking about ordering one with my next shipment. Right now I got a DS on the way but I'm afraid it will dissapoint me :/ I've briefly tried one before but alot of people say you can be unlucky and get a bad DS. The DS got tension screws right?

I like the DS for OH. It's light and fast even if it doesn't cut corners.

I have heard this to be proven false.

i was impressed with my diansheng....granted i didnt have too high of hopes for it, but its a fun cube to mess around with just cuz of its speed, i ended up putting cubesmith mosaics on it.

It's a rule, but it has exceptions.
