Not another new cube thread... (A III)

[cheiney]

I bought this cube a while back and the edge pieces were really fragile. I think after one pop the internal mechanism of one of my edge pieces bent and I tried putting it back in place and it broke. Overall, I wouldn't suggest this cube. The edge pieces may look cool, but they are very flimsy and they can break easily.

Hmm. Weird. I think I'll stick to my C.

It's probably very light because every piece has no "internal" portion. Does look cool, though.

the corners are similar to this:

I think that is supposed to be the same cube (there isn't a difference between a new type a third model and a new type a III, they mean the same thing, right?) but the edges look slightly different.

Gday, im new here

I have a "new type (a) third model" and it is NOT the same as a 'new (a) III'.

The "third model" is similar to the normal old fasioned (a) but is closer together and thinner plastic. The 'new (a) III' has that embossed bump around the edge pieces, similar to the (a) II.

Confusing eh? Took me ages on 9spuzzles and c4y to figure out what is what...
