it says its a time machine

erm
i think it means timer
they probably used some stupid translator that was like "oh look a machine... and oh look it counts time... must be a time machine!"

Hey guys,

I am hoping to be buy a Shengshou 4x4 V3 from china-magic-cube.com, but it shows 2 of them: http://www.china-magic-cube.com/goods.asp?gid=166
http://www.china-magic-cube.com/goods.asp?gid=168
I am going to Hong Kong this summer, so I can also buy it on the spot, so no shipping fee is needed. Why the $7 difference?

Possibly because of higher demand for black puzzles.

Possibly because of higher demand for black puzzles.

If that's so, that wouldn't be a smart move. Nobody would buy the black one, I mean, 7 bucks more for a different color?!:fp

Thanks anyway.

Looks exactly like a Shengshou 4x4. May not be the same brand, but would definitely be same mech/etc. I wouldn't be able to tell you what version though - need some more detailed pictures.

mf8 4x4? (NOT Dayan+mf8, just mf8 4x4)

According to LNOL,

The mini mf8+Dayan is new, and the mini mf8 is years old.

Conversation on Youtube comments:

Me - Please reply: what cube is that?

LNOL - I believe it's a mini mf8, but now I use a mini mf8+dayan.

Me - Aren't they the same?

LNOL - No. The mini mf8+Dayan is new, and the mini mf8 is years old. The mini mf8+Dayan is fantastic.

I asked him for a link to where I can buy it, but he hasn't replied yet :confused:

This is the video anyway, looks like a Dayan+mf8 normal size to me.

Help with name of cube + more?

Hello, so I was looking for a new cube and I thought that an FII would be best for me. So I wanted to order one from speedcubeshop, but i couldn't, so I had to buy one from ebay. I wasn't able to order from anywhere else, long-ish story so don't ask xD. Anyway, the name of the cube was "Professional 3x3x3 Speed Cubing Rubik Cube Type A II F2."

It might've been "A2 FII," I'm not sure. So the question is, is the cube still an FII cube, is it an alpha 2 cube, or is it something different? The naming of cube's are really confusing me, so I'd like some help with that too.

Sorry for the noob question, I don't know too much about this, and I have already searched through the forums for a while. I looked at the "Review of Main 3x3 Cubes and clarification of the Naming of the Alpha series" post too, I just didn't understand. Thanks for reading, hope you can help >.<

You can check icubemart.com, they tend to have the largest collection and variety of cubes. http://www.icubemart.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2505545 may or may not be what you are looking for. I rarely see any types A's anymore, even on cube4you, which is where i got my type A. If your looking for the best-possilbe cube, you may want to look at the Dayan Zhanchi, which is generally considered to be the best cube on the market at the moment. Fell free to ignore my advice as it's not always the best advice around.

 

[Kaz]

I wasn't asking where to buy my cube, I looked around and I have already found a bunch of places. I need help with the naming of these cubes, and i want to find out if my cube is F2. Also, bookmark'd that site, I might buy from it in the future

 

[Vipervenom9]

Sorry =D kinda misunderstood the question. You might have gotten the ShengEn TypeF-II, that is the most common cube used in competition.

 

[Kaz]

Hmm, how do i check if it's a ShengEn f2? Hmm, wait, so are we sure that its an F-II? Or is it possible that it's something else?

 

[Vipervenom9]

Really not sure man, really hard to tell without actually seeing the cube, and even then I don't know a ton about different cubes. I'm hoping someone a little more knoweldgable will step in and try to help you.

 

[Kaz]

It's fine, you helped me a lot anyway. xD

 

[Reprobate]

Here are some pics of my FII

 

[Kaz]

When I get my cube, I will compare, and maybe post pics of mine. Thnxs for all the help so far.

 

[timeless]

is this a eashsheen?

 

[Cheese11]

is this a eashsheen?

I would need internal pictures. For all I know it could be a SS, LL, or a GH.
