I'll say it:
If there is a tornado v2, I will go out of my way to get it. I love the v1, and wish I was a much better cuber then so I could've had it now.
Of all my dayan cubes, I actually seem to enjoy the Taiyan the most. It has such a satisfying crispy feeling and has surprising corner cutting for such a blocky mechanism.
ah yes! they did some changes to the base design! notice how the foot is only a single track.
Also, look at the corner underside; the magnets in the corner seem to be attached to rods that look to be interchangeable.
the cubie shape is the same. It's just another assembly change to make the cube itself lighter and the core magnets. GAN changes its designs, just not where it's that visible.
Seems like they're changing the naming convention to the number being the order of the puzzle and not the actual version.
Not sure how smart that is if they make a 2x2, though.
