[Daniel Wu]

Cool. Thanks. I just got a third of my popbuying order and I wasn't sure about those two.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Oh, I thought they were the same cube without really looking. Now my computer is being stupid and won't let me see them.

What is a VVGOO-II cube, made by Yong Jun Toys?

I'm guessing it's a VVGOO-II cube, made by Yong Jun Toys.

 

[daniel0731ex]

looks like a D2

 

[olivier131]

New cube on popbuying : 3x3x3 MuFang Magic Cube DIY Kit Black
"Mufang" is a brand ?

 

[miniGOINGS]

Looks similar to the C4U cube. Not sure.

 

[daniel0731ex]

ahh, mufan.

it's a long story, why don't you explain it to them, r_517?

but basically it's a C4U clone

 

[olivier131]

Yes, i see that caps on edge seems to be the same that C4U.
When I saw the blue core, I believe it was a Maru...

Good guess Stefan, you are correct!
I should have been clearer. What TYPE is it?
Very nice cube, by the way.

 

[Stefan]

I should have been clearer. What TYPE is it?

But what's the obsession with "types", why is the more precise name that you already have not sufficient? Oh well... "Type D something" is probably the best one can say. Daniel said D2, but that conflicts with cube4you's naming which calls the VVGOO-I "D2" (actually "d-II"). And if I remember correctly, those two models differ a lot. I suspect you'd be better off saying why you want to know, i.e., what you need the answer for.

 

[daniel0731ex]

Dan is now confused. Dan will be researching now.

EDIT: ok i got it now. will post a thread tomorrow.

I did not realize I was obsessed...maybe...
Actually, I seek knowledge. I got my first cube in Hungary in 1979, and was partial to Rubik's brand until this year. I am just now entering the "other cube" realm and want to learn.

 

[Stefan]

Well, I didn't mean just you, I meant all people who ask "what type is this?" when they already have a name. It's particularly annoying when they ask about for example the c4u cubes which just don't have a "type" other than c4u. Of course I acknowledge that there are many cubes and it's confusing (after all, that was the reason I made speedcubes.net), but it's still bugging me.
