Could be that Shengsu maybe, the new YJ thing.

I'm pretty sure other shops would have already stocked them.

Just mail Calvin then, he's good at replying.

I highly doubt that is a V3 4x4 most likely a V4 or V5.

No that is not correct , it is called Varikon puzzle, the Varikon has a hole in the outer ring , a Baylon Tower you must push to create space

v3. A review says it locks up in the middle layers.

 

[slinky773]

Any idea where I could get a cheap v5 then?

V3 is the best once modded. But v4 has inner layer lockups without Konsta too..

Hello all,

I was in a store and saw many cubes by Maru but the one that caught my eye was the square 1. Sorry that I don't have a pic but does anyone know of this cube? And if it is any good?

 

[norwegiangenius]

Fangshi?

Is Fangshi shuangren and Fangshi illusion the same cube except the color?

 

[Antonie faz fan]

Yup and the different color one is also smaller

 

[Devian]

The structure of the cubes are the same, what changes is the size and color of the caps.

 

[kcl]

Yeah. Personally I think the different colored caps are ugly though..

 

[BrainOfSweden]

I think they look awesome. Except the white caps on black body one, because it looks like worn out Rubiks brand (or similar) stickers, when the color gets completely rubbed off and it gets a white frame.

Well the internal structures are the same I believe, but the caps are different. In the 57mm, the caps go on top of the piece while in the 54.6mm, the caps are set into the piece. Supposedly, this reduces the problem of your fingernails getting under the caps.
