Could anyone make a review? I don't know how long takes the shipping, so if someone's cube has already arrived...

It is a prototype, it is not going to project how good the finished product will be... its just a proof of concept.

Who said i want a review of finished product? And you think that there will be a huge difference? That they will make a supercube which has 360° reverse corner cutting? No... probably not. In my opinion, the difference will be minimal.

thats really neat that hes making 75% more money per cube on the prototype then on the full working model that will have no issues.

You dont know whats the price of the cube, so how do u know thats 75% more? And its more expensive because you cant get the final product yet. And u see, they're sold.

I don't see what the problem is. Of course it's a rip-off seeing as these guys were probably given the cubes for free as testers and then flogged them off. As long as people are willing to spend money on things like this, there will be a market.
I bought one because I think it's cool to have a prototype in my collection. I'll be getting the final model too...

The guy that stated that it isn't good as a speed cube must have been high.
I had a last set of CubeSmith tiles that were just waiting for that one special cube. Well this is it, I slapped them straight on there after having only played with this for a minute or two. It's better than a GuHong (same size though) but I haven't used it enough to say if I like it better than a LingYun. Corner cutting is insane, it hasn't popped yet, but it isn't as fast as a LingYun let alone an MF8 3x3x3 turn wise(the MF8 locks up often to keep things fair).
If this is not as good as the finished product then we're in for the best cube ever....

Looks nice, any ''clickyness'' or strange feel turning? Is there much friction or just the same as in a Guhong?

ิI think it is better than guhong. It's smooth fast but cornercut can't 45+ (guhong can 45+)
Also I change my maincube from guhong to zhanchi .

So it's a unlubed prototype, and it's better than a Guhong?!
Guys, get ready for a hype-storm.

It came assembled and prelubed although I'm not sure with what. Added some Lubix for good measure.
It's ever so slightly clicky, somewhere between a GuHong and a LingYun. The extra surface area inside is barely noticeable.
Who needs 45? Less locking is more important IMO and this cube delivers on that point.

Is it more stable than a Guhong?

I'll have to test it more before I can tell you. I don't want to jump to too many conclusions just yet. There's still an air of euphoria when I use it because it's new. That might be clouding my judgment.

What he said was that this cube had more value in collecting than speed solving, coz these prototypes were limited version and couldn't be found anywhere else, hence they would be great collections. just to mention, the first prototype of Alpha I had been sold to more than 1000 CNY (approx 110 EUR) in China as a collection.
