The design inside is the same. The 6color guhong uses 6 colors of plastic and never needs stickers! (although it ships with stickers and logo on the side) The other 8 color versions have one plastic color with stickers.

Thanks but what about in terms of feel, speed, smoothness, cutting etc?

-There is absolutely NO difference at all in different plastic colors. It's just that before Alpha takes the lead producing high-quality speedcubes, black plastic are generally recycled low quality material in China, because the color makes it hard to tell whether it's inpure or not; in comparison to white, which shows everything. But nowadays, with all these competitions in the puzzle toy making business, it's hard to find a renowned speedcube brand to use inpure plastic materials.

PS: don't get me wrong, not all recycled plastic material are bad. It's just that they basically throws in every plastic things they could find without bothering to sort out different types (ABS, PVC, PP, etc), making the produced material a mingled mess of mixed plastics.

Ok, instead of starting another thread I'll ask my ? in this thread. I'm in the process of buying the Guhong. Im looking at this one, but i havent found it anywhere other than lightake.com. There are no youtube videos (other than Lightake's) or other stores selling these colors:

I'm wondering if this is the same guhong cube everyone is talking about being so good. Does it corner cut at cut 45 degrees? Is this the "lone goose" cube? Is this the guhong to get?

Red Dayan Guhong available here. All 8 colors are the same guhong, just different color plastic. Use "speedsolving" discount coupon (view in cart) for great price.

Thanks for the links. I guess what I'm concerned about is if you watch the produt video from lightake.com from the link, the cube looks stiff and seems to lock up a lot. Also he doesn't do any finger tricks or show any corner cutting examples. The video is just not very helpful and instills doubt, if anything. I know it's out of box but I'm still skeptical since it doesn't seem consistent with the guhongs everybody is raving about.

I'm not trying to imply that it's a fake cube. Just a different version perhaps. Also, I still don't know if the "lone goose" cube is a differnt version cube altogether or just the literal translation of guhong. I just want confirmation, since I'm confused.

when a random classmate scrambles your cube, does it not lock up every turn and seem as if it's gonna pop every time he (or she) turns it?

Classmate? I dontknow what youre talking about.

 

[Whyusosrs?]

Hmm could you please tell me what your experience has been?

Banana cube.

Classmate? I dontknow what youre talking about.

A person in your class...? A peer?

Basically what he was saying was, when a non-cuber scrambles your cube does it not seem like every time they turn a face it seems like the cube is locking or is about to pop?

I doubt that person is actually a cuber. Look at the way he tried to pop an edge out. At first without turning it.

Wait, really? I always thought over 9000 was special because it was 1000 less then 10000

I'm about to order a black and a 6 colour GuHong.
Because I usually solve white cubes with black stickers I'm going to swap the white side of the 6 colour with black pieces.
Then sticker the black cube with a black side against white.
