Buying a Storebought From Rubiks.com? Better quality and OLD mechanism?

[TK 421]

I found out that the cube have FLAT centers.

Is it different? What about the Rubik's DIY from them?

The flat centers make the turning horribly slow, and give it a terrible, bumpy feeling. Don't get that one. Rubik's DIYs are better, so you might want one of those.

Thanks.

But there is some version too of this

-----V1-----
Pieces like storebought, fat end spring, yellow screw.

-----V2-----
Pieces like storeboughts ex: Centers have underside hole like Alpha, and fingernail slot. Also the cap is much higher than the V1. Spring (?). Screw is black
JSK maybe??????

-----V3-----
Pieces like storeboughts. Normal spring, plastic washer. From Rubiks.com

no, my post asks which is better V1 V2 or V3

 

[oskarasbrink]

i think i have the v-1 and v-2. the v-2 is kinda locky but the v-1 is ok i guess. i suggest you should get one of the newer cubes.

Why do you need a storebought? Albeit, there is one or two amazing awesome bbq storebought cubes that are better then a DIY. But 99.99% of storeboughts aren't as good as a DIY. So just buy a DIY.

I thought you were banned? lolwut?

Getting a 'custom sticker' from them, 'instructions on download page', then 'how to assemble the cube, then WUT IZ THIS?, then O.o flat centers?

Flat-centered cubes are not total crap. My first cube was one like that, and after lots of breaking in (and I mean lots) it's actually fairly low resistance and able to cut corners slightly. It is definitely still bumpy, but it's not awful - my friend did a 13 second solve on it after a few tries (PLL skip, but still fast).

I doubt they'll ever update that picture. And I doubt they're still selling this kind. Not even sure they ever did, as that looks like an old Studio cube with different screws.

As for the bold text, it's a rivet. if you see the core, a little trace of metal is left on the core hole. maybe they just sliced that rivet off to show what it's like

^^ maybe that's true
i have doubt that's it's updated too, but they never rip me off when i order.

OFF TOPIC: i thought you blocked/ignore me

NEW IDEA: If you want your post on the top of the forum. Just post anything and have a bold "UP!!!".

Example:

Heyy, whassup everybody

UP!!!

Ok, so now it's obviously fake.

Yes, and I've ignored your posts in several other threads already.

No, wrong, I got one of those that I bought in 2005, but in the 2005 anny edition the centres was changed to the arced type and they are still like so. I got it right in front of me here, or only the core is from that one, the cubies are from a new and tight one because the old was so loose from all spraying (melting the platics).

Flat centres is a win in MU algs, and they cut corners just like that, 30 degrees, no problem...

But the pops :/ I can turn slowly and purpously make a edge come out with no force at all

Edit: new cubers does not know about the pop rule but because these cubes poped a lot there was a rule that you could claim the solve a pop and get a extra attempt (I think the rule was removed in the 2007 update, possibly 2006). It was not unusual to see whole last layers spreading all over the venue in those days, only the centre was still there
