Its a knockoff type F. It wont last long.

 

[Son Jeong Sang]

Hi, I'm korean.

That cube is called DAISO cube in korea.

Because DAISO(1 dollar shop) sells that cube in 2 dolloars.

That cube is worth using speedcubing.

Many people use DAISO cube in korea as it is cheap.

So I have many DAISO cubes.

But I don't use it...

It is painted in each side such as type E(diansheng).

But two cubes are different from the viewpoint of edge pieces.

Diansehng has a unsealed pieces, but DAISO cube has a sealed pieces.

That cube is also similar to type F(I).

First, it has round pieces.
Second, it is worn out easily.


I searched many websites.

And I found it in Taobao.com .

It is made in china.

It is definitely different from type F.

It's screw is similar to Edison cube's.

And It's core is too terrible.

So I recommend you to hybrid C4Y core.

the center cubes are the same as CII

Its a fake type F, thats all there is to it. Its cheap, its nice out of the box, it gets crappy way too fast, yes the core is horrible.

Are the Mefferts brand bandage cube just another brand of 3x3 with tiles, or are they cubes that Mefferts made?

I ask because I took the tiles off of one and stickered it, and I really like it as a speedcube.

I want to buy a meffert's megaminx second model, but as I'm looking at all the different ones they have, I'm not sure which one I should buy. Heres a link to all their puzzles, if you control + F megaminx, the first 6 are the ones I'm looking at.

They are all the version two megaminx, the only difference is the sticker type (PET labels or tiles), and the packaging.

I recently recieved an order from popbuying.com. I had ordered two type C's, one white and one black. Both bags had the correct sku attached, but I believe I was sent a black type A-V by mistake. See the pics in the spoiler. The black one has a screw and a big and small washer while the white cube has the large washer as part of the screw.

From the pictures on popbuying.com, I'm pretty sure I'm right about this, I just want confirmation.

Sorry the pics are so bad, I don't have a great camera. Thanks!

I don't own an AV, but that looks like the pictures I've seen.

 

[PeterV]

I don't own an AV, but that looks like the pictures I've seen.

That's pretty much my thoughts. Not that I'm unhappy I got sent the wrong cube, it's a great cube. I just want to know for sure before ordering a couple more.

i heard that selling AVs to people under 18 are illegal. are you over 18?



back on topic:
yeah the black one is A-V, but the white one is type C though.

LOL! Yes, I am over 18

It's good to get some others confirming what I thought. I love the A-V (haven't yet assembled the type C) so I'll probably order a couple more. Thanks!

What is this?

 

[gibbleking]

its a qj

 

[SaberSlash49]

Edit: Don't QJ megaminxes have logos on every side? Also, the colors look different..

 

[stinkocheeze]

um... which of these is a type Cii? Thanks! http://www.popbuying.com/products.pb/category.152

 

[stinkocheeze]

Edit: Don't QJ megaminxes have logos on every side? Also, the colors look different..

if it has a logo on everyside, that isn't allowed for speedsolving, because the rules say that it can only have one logo on the cube (correct me if i'm wrong, because thats the rule for 3x3's, not megaminxes)

The QJ megaminx I have here has logos on 4 sides. Nobody ever stopped me using this puzzle in WCA competitions!
