New cube: Type A IV-SV

[daniel0731ex]

yes, another thread about new cubes from guojia

i just got an idea to improve the confusing naming system

Old Type A will be the same
Same for normal A-II, A-III, and A-V
BUT, for the NEW type As, it will be Type A I-SV, II-SV, and III-SV
it's much more obvious than the previous A I-f,II-f, and III-f in my opinion


the "f" that C4U uses is basically the abbreviation of the chinese word "封"(feng), or "sealed".
my "SV" stands for "Sealed Verson", or maybe you could interpret it as "Super Veloce" of lamborghini sports cars. i think SV would be much better because "f" often gets ignored by some people.


so here's the type A IV-SV

Me.................. want............................ cool .......................centers

That looks like a beast.... with a bunch of weird looking pieces like a bunch of the other type A's.

I don't get what the shape of the centres actually does. If they "interlocked" with the edges.. maybe, but they don't seem to.

 

[Tim Major]

Zomg, engraved centre. Must get for bld cheating. Looks beast.

the slut thingy is for easier removal of the center cap, because the new center cap is the kind that Famwealth has.

and note that the ende of the center is not octagonal all the way. the top is truncated while the bottom remains square-shaped. this allows reverse corner-cutting while maintaining the solid-ness of the entire puzzle

what a genius design

 

[arckuss123]

Crazyyy.

 

[Zubon]

The first thing that struck me was in the second picture, as you said, the octagonal corners of the centers are tapered for stability.

I love how my Type AV can cut do reverse corner cutting. It seems that Guojia brings out new products every day! Is the market for specialty cubes big enough to justify making that many new molds?

 

[amostay2004]

They don't need new molds. Just rat bites.

 

[Muesli]

Don't know if want... Looks really lumpy.

Um slut?

My god i want one just to see what its like. Hopefully its amazing.

Not to mention it looks completely badass.

 

[rachmaninovian]

yea it looks badass. I thought A V was badass enough :O

 

[Radu]

I still don't get it. What does SP stand for?

actually, the octagon shape is for reversee corner-cutting. the stability is provided by the square shape on the bottom.

 

[iSpinz]

Where to buy?

 

[GermanCube]

It is really weird, how often they release new cubes ...

But I don't know, if there is any need for even more A's?!

 

[Stefan]

i assume that most of you guys know what SP stands for

I do. And I demand commission if you're gonna use that.

LMAO.

I think it is "abbreviated" to avoid just such a situation.


I am actually in the market for some new cubes. I have not made a purchase since the original type F *shudder* was released. This one looks quite interesting. Any idea where I would go about purchasing this one?

 

[rookie]

you'd probably would have to wait for the free shipping websites to get them. you can start by making a request at deal perfect and hknowstore... the a5 is a very good cube. wonder how this is gonna be
