Nice, I really hope they will be getting some more colors then i will buy one cause i'm still using my store bought and it locks up every time!

DX just got even more awesome.

They need to start selling black and white too. Poor Cube4you. They're going to start losing so many customers if that happens. But whatever. Free shipping FTW.

EDIT: I wish DX also sells Eastsheen 2x2s.

I'm pretty sure its a knockoff. There don't appear to be any corner caps, and if you look closely the logo is different.(on the stickers at least.)

Well that's because they changed the logo.

On another thought, you might be right. This could just be a fake or clone. How can we tell?

The stickers are the same. I don't know about the corner caps.

EDIT lol, that was almost exactly the same time and the same link... I think it is the c4u cube. I will order one tonight.

Hmm, I've ordered one to check it out. I've had good experiences with DX recently (the mirror blocks being a Rubik's, the cheap megaminx being a decent PVC, etc.) so I'm all over this like a rash!

dx is way too cool, i had a missing center and washers, so i contacted them and they sent 50+ washers of every color, and 2 centers.

it looks like a knock off... The cubies are too sharp and no corner or edge caps!!

There ARE edge caps, just no corner caps, according to the pictures.

well, when the first ones get delivered, tell us!

Poor Cube4you. They're going to start losing so many customers if that happens.

They wouldn't really be losing money though, because DX is selling their cubes. They do have to buy them, you know... And I'm sure they're genuine. DX does sell some crappy/fake cubes, but those are always unbranded. I'm sure they (the manufacturers) could get into some trouble if they were fake AND branded. DX is merely a distributor, they don't produce anything.

I JUST ordered a type C from DX two days ago... how do C4Y's compare? I want to know in case I made a bad mistake in ordering it. Are either good for OH? None of the cubes I currently own are loose enough to do OH without locking up a lot.

EDIT:

I see some more cubes on DX, what type are they?

I'm thinking they might be type C, just in different colors, but I'm not sure.

Wow the glow in the dark one looks really cool...and for $7.30! gosh every cuber's gonna love DX very soon...

 

[Unknown.soul]

They actually listened, I asked DX if they will have a white Type C a few months ago. Either that, or it was a coincidence.

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

They need to start selling black and white too.

[Unknown.soul]

Chuberchuckee was referring to black and white Cube4You cubes, not Type Cs.

 

[fatch0]

most cubes in DX are knockoffs. Looking at other cube reviews theyre all ripoffs. I doubt this is any different.

 

[AlanAlanine]

what type of DIY is it?

 

[Gparker]

if this is a knockoff, there clones and knockoffss are really good (mefferts clone 4x4 for example)
