It's the YJ First edition. Their first edition for 4x4 and 5x5s are both Eastsheen. Their second edition is V Cube.

Thank you! One last question, if I was to label it, is the "Eastsheen" or "YJ 1st edition"?

YJ First Edition. I hear they're cheaper plastic. You can also say Eastsheen KO.

I'm 85% sure it's a ShengShou. The other 15% says YJ but I'd still vote for ShengShou.

Edit: Your post ninja'd mine. Yeah then I say YJ I guess. The edges aren't ShengShou

Neither are the corners.

Edit: Ninja'd again

My QJ 4x4 is really loose (almost unusable even as slow as I am). Would putting a heavy shock oil (50wt) slow it down a little?
Also, what else could help slow it down?

 

[jackdexter75]

Try squeezing it on each side. It'll loosen as you solve it though.

EDIT: I do this for my mini QJ. I assume it still works for normal QJ.

From their website.

 

[ilikecubing]

is it a trusted site and does it ship worldwide?

 

[cyoubx]

That's the actual website of the company, so yes.

And yes, it does ship worldwide.

Okay, I've read tell that the skewb will likely be an event in official wca comps next year. If it goes through, would there be a possibility of it being an event at already announced comps in Quarter 1 of 2011? Sorry if it's a bit specific!

 

[Cool Frog]

Bump. Sorry. I just really need a definite answer.

For the 3 cycles in roux, wherever the block is usually gives it away (the inner 1x2x2 block) your going to want to move the piece that does not match with any single face to the block...
and if the block is M2(ed) then the one that matches is in its correct spot needs to be moved... I guess I can make a video if you want

You probably will want to contact the organizer or ask in the thread. Some competitions are listing it as an unofficial event and if Skewb becomes official they will change it to official, iirc. If it's not listed on the website right now, it's doubtful.

It is a mini QJ, and it didn't work that well thanks though.
Should I try 50wt shock oil? Or is there something else to try?
(The cube is so loose that when shaken the faces turn by themselves).
