Also, do the corners split into 3 pieces (or any pieces at all)? If they do, it's a yulong, if they don't, it's a sulong. I have both right next to me right now, and they're both the newer versions.

They are definitely one piece. So I guess that solves the mystery.

Just asking, but the cube looks so similar to a Fangshi Shuangren in terms of the rounded center piece. I've been using fangshis for almost 2 years, and that looks a lot like one. Plus, the Fangshis do come with bad sticker quality. Mine started peeling after the first week. I'm just asking, so pls don't flame me.

Yep, no problem, I was a little confused when I ordered my sulong too lol, but I figured it out

Here are pictures of the core, center, and corner pieces.

Comparing that to other images from google, that's definitely a sulong.

I got this shengshou 4x4 off amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shengshou-W...=UTF8&qid=1405260773&sr=8-1&keywords=4x4+cube) and have no idea what version it it! Sorry for the blurry camera.

Yup, that's a Sulong. Stickers are far worse quality than on mine but the cube is the same.

Was there ever a Diansheng with disproportionate pieces? I'm asking this because my first speedcube had similar packaging to a Diansheng, a RYB colour scheme and rectangular edges (No pictures because I lost it)
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread btw, this seemed to be the most fitting place to ask

Anyone? Also, the pieces were heat-transferred instead of actual stickers

There has been a few brands that has produced this puzzle in the past 30 years like: Wonderful Puzzler, HeSu, CubeTwist, Calvin, Diansheng, and a few others. Judging by the sticker colors and the condition it's in it is most likely the Wonderful Puzzler that was made in the 1980s. http://twistypuzzles.com/cgi-bin/puzzle.cgi?pkey=815

If the corner stalk is kinda 'hill-like' then it's a Zhanchi.
