Gan III 3x3x3 Speed Cube with Patented Innovative Octopus Core

Welcome! Always nice to see another girl around. I guess people think "Ami" is something else because in french "ami" means "friend" and it's pronounced differently.
Yep, that's exactly what they do! And, yes, that's always nice! :D

I like you. You can stay.
That's... special. LOL Thanks? :P

Is that how it works now? :p
I have seen a thread about the "octopus" but not much more info. Please post a review yourself so Ollie doesn't have to change his mind.
Yeah, if no good review pops up, I might at least do an unboxing. I can't promise a good review, I've never done one before. If it comes before I start classes, I should have time to make it. I start classes in 3 and a half weeks, but I'm hoping to get the package in less than 2 weeks. :)

Well, looking forward to your unboxing/review. Post it here when you have it up. 2 weeks... hmmm... hope I won't miss it while I'm in the hospital or something haha.
 
And yeah, I know it's called Octopus core, but I don't call anything with 6 "legs" an octopus. It goes against my religion.

Ah well. Maybe I'll do an unboxing video when I get it since nobody else has.

Oh, and this is my first, so hello all. My name is Ami (pronounced like "Amy" but spelled with an "i" because people seem to think it is a different name than Amy and it's just a different spelling) and I live in Tennessee, USA. :)

Hi Ami,

Welcome. My son is called Sami ;) I also have got both these cubes comming my way. You can find a video on youtube of Calvin turning this Gan III. Looks ok to me. ;)
 
Yeah, I saw that video. I mean, all you can really tell from it is that it seems like a good speed cube. There's no comparison vs the Zhanchi or the Panshi or the Fangshi v1 or v2. But that's OK. I also ordered a stickerless Panshi just because I don't own a sticklerless and I wasn't even going to buy the Dayan VI Panshi, but now I have a reason. It's really hard to get a good idea of a cube without seeing it compared to an understandable benchmark like the Dayan 5 Zhanchi and without some real commentary. That's why I found those videos on YT completely unhelpful. Heck, until it was disassembled I didn't even know if it was a Gan III! It's sooooo frustrating!

But it's OK. In about a week from Monday, I'll have it.

And you know what, I'm sure it's a good cube. But is this hexapus core voodoo a game changer? I remain a skeptic, but I'll buy it just to say I have one.
