I found this pic on facebook today. IDK on the info about it other than the pic. This cube reminds me of the AoSu. If anyone else has more info about this 3x3 feel free to say it.

I really needed an new Weilong.
But why would they change the name. If it was an upgrade it would be v3 right?
I think it is a new release by Moyu
Nonetheless, I will but it for review :D

I don't really see enough similarities to the Weilong to deem this a "v3". I'm a little surprised that's how it's being advertised. Those are big shoes to fill.

In contrast to the Dianma, instead of the edges being thinner than the corners, the edges seem a tad WIDER than the corners. Or maybe that's just the angle of the picture?

And yes, the corners do resemble a Zhanchi, but only around the base. The stalks actually remind me of a Lunhui quite a bit. Just with that middle anti-pop ridge being a bit rounder.

Overall I don't see anything that makes me think this will perform any better than the Weilong. I do love buying new 3x3's though :p

The edges don't look wider to me. I think it was just the angle.

It looks as if this weilong(or should I say Aolong) is slightly more similar to a zhanchi(with the corners reminding me a bit of a lunhui).
I'm curious of how it will perform.

the only thing that I can see that is different from the weilong is the torpedose are a very slightly different shape

Take a second look at those corner stalks. On the Weilong, they're a fatter, more rounded shape... which I think helped it be more smooth. These are more rigged... seems to be more for anti-pop like on the Lunhui.

i guess so, but it's not as though it needs any more anti popping stuff. my weilong has never popped and i've had it for at least half a year.
