Ok, I think some cubers are confused of the release of the Haiyan/Haiyan Memory Cubes.
Here's a clarification.

Type A V - Normal as it is. Nothing different, the ones that are in all the stores (CubeforYou, Popbuying, etc).
Haiyan Cube - I believe it is released in some websites like Popbuying.com. This a new cube created by Haiyan himself. Here are two links : Black l White
Haiyan- Memory Cube - A Type A V that Haiyan himself has modded (by sanding or polishing the corner's internal edges. This is a normal Type A V! Haiyan sells it for $25 dollars on his website which is http://cubehaiyan.com.
A review of this has come out very recently (I think Chester Lian won it at a competition) here's the link : Haiyan - Memory Cube

Well, that's all of the clarification I think is needed.
Happy Cubing <><.

So I'm just "the guy" huh?
Sorry, I didn't know your name. I'll edit it if you tell me your name. (sorry I sound demanding).
Do you have a link to the Type A V cube on popbuying? I can't seem to find it.
Check this out. It's SaberSlash49's Popbuying Puzzle List. There are both Type A V Blacks and Whites. http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18103
The ones on popbuying are Haiyan Memory's

Are you sure? Because Haiyan Memory is hand modded by Haiyan himself. He sells it for $25 dollars a cube. On Popbuying, it's only $11.

Hmm.. maybe your right. I would think that the real Haiyans were more expensive but whatever.



Thank you for your order.

But we can only ship the Haiyan cube to you until 2010 02 22 because of the Chinese new year.

Order Haiyan cube from Haiyan Zhuang and from popbuying are the same.Because popbuying is order from Mr.Zhuang :),they are the same.All geuine Haiyan cube.


Does that say that POPbuying has the same as Haiyan?

I think it means Popbuying can't ship it until the end of the Chinese new year. Popbuying gets their Haiyan cubes from Haiyan, so it's the same thing. Ordering from Haiyan = Ordering from Popbuying. So, they are both the same cubes. (both the new Haiyans, with the cool corners, etc).

Yes ,you said it. It normally cost 1 hour to polish only one cube. So I have to sale 25$. But others can buy Type A V or Haiyan's cube V and polish it yourself. But I think normally it difficult for others to polish a cube like me. and like my felling.Actrually The factory and me do not like the name Type A.We will release a offical name later.But Haiyan and Haiyan's cube - memory will never change name. The new version of Type A V will release according to my polish method, then the new version will called Haiyan's cube - memory .

Nice. Can you tell me excatly how to polish the cube? I'm going to try it out on my Type A V, but I'm a little nervous because I have never done it before. Could you briefly explain the process? Thanks Haiyan. I hope to buy a cube from you company very soon, and after I buy it, I will post a good review. <><

In China we all will polish Type A V to make it quicker. The unpolished A V is not so good. Maybe Haiyan-memory will be better. Two months later, the new vision of A V (according to Haiyan's opinions)will be sold. This is really a good news because polishing A V is so painful!haha

p.s. 不知道haiyan-memory 的中文名叫什么,新版甲五,还是海燕版甲五。

Yes, Haiyan how do you polish your cubes?

Lots of people have been asking that -.- By polish, he means that he rounded the corners.

He also lubed and adjusted the tension.

He also lubed, adjusted the tension, and other shtuff....

Now I'm curious about the "other stuff".

Don't quite remember the post where all the things were detailed... I'll look for it and edit my post to replace the "shtuff" for you if I find it.

EDIT: Blah made a vid about this.


He said lubed, tuned, and everything... what that everything is, I don't know.
