When you and Calvin say original plastic, is it a different type of plastic, or just a primary color plastic?

you're backwhy'd you get banned?
I expressed my opinion about IZO's customer service without containing my choice of words
Got only a 1 day ban for the infraction.Looks awesome! At first I thought it was a zhanchi
I just got it so I can't quite say, most likely yeah! I havent even lubed the pieces and yet it turns so well! I'm gonna break it in some and try to get used to the colour scheme; I've been using Full Brights on 3x3 for the last 5 months at the very least. I decided to go half bright because that's what I have on all my big cubes.
It performs excellently, now I just have to see and try how my lookahead works with it! I'm not 100% sure if the plastic is the exact same as with the milky zhanchi but it is very close, you cant really tell the difference. Also thecubicle fitted stickers are awesome! Izo apparently saves on costs by making small stickers. When I compare my WeiLong to my Zhanchi the difference in how much the stickers cover the pieces is huge. I'm definitely buying all my future stickers from thecubicle.
EDIT:
Also I'm still waiting for the Maru CX-3 hoping it would be even better, we'll see! I've also considered the option of going back to a Guhong. I have some testing to do

Why do you want to go from Weilong to Guhung? Just curious.. (Btw, I am hoping to receive my original color Weilong this week
)

The cubes feel similar, and Guhong is the most controllable cube i know of.

The Guhong V2 was my first decent speedcube and I only have a stickerless one. I had the Guhong as my main for so long that I think I still might be the best with that cube. I'm not great with fingertricks and overshoot often, the Guhong would be good for that. But we'll see

I get the same averages on a pop-prone stickerless Guhong v1 as on a weilong. Weird. Must be the stickerlessness.

True, I use a Guhong for BLD so that I do not overshoot or anything with the blindfold on. But the cubes feel similar.. No, my Weilongs (I have a few) are all completely different than any Guhong I have.

I want this primary Weilong. Shot thecubicle.us an email to see if they were going to stocked it, but apparently they don't know it exists. So I told them about it. Hopefully they'll be getting it.

Why don't you just buy it from hknowstore? 15 bucks shipping included. I personally want to support Calvin here because he is the one that made it happen after I asked for it.

Is the Moyu Weilong louder than the Dayan Zhanchi or the Fangshi Shuang Ren v1?
Replies will be appreciated!
They're like the same for me.

Quieter out of the box. The Fangshi gets less scratchy once worn in, and the zhanchi is quieter once modded, but the weilong is the quietest 'off the shelf'. (imho)

It is good plastic.

Pretty sure the plastic is cheaper and thinner than Dayan plastic. Having said that, the mechanism more than makes up for this.

It definitely has a different feel than Dayan cubes; I personally did not like it.
