Nope. A few have been made (like this one), but none have been mass produced.
Not sure, but I'd like to know this too. It's strange that there aren't any tutorials out there. Is it similar to Human Thistlethwaite at all?
From what I understand, the type AI was the first speedcube, so they would have most likely used that (I think it was released sometime around 2003-ish). I wasn't speecubing "in the good old days," so you might be better off asking someone who was.What kinds of cubes did they have back "in the good old days" i.e around 2003? Was it all Rubik's brand or were their type a's at least? This has probably been discussed, so a link to a thread would be nice
I imagine the shengshou 5x5 mod to prevent lockups (I can't post the link cause I'm on my phone, but I'll post it later unless somebody else does) would work on the v-cube 5, since the mechanisms are similar.
Assuming you live in the U.S, shipping usually takes about 3 weeks, although I find it can vary a lot. One time it only took 2 weeks from Lightake, and another time it took over a month.
As far as I know, there aren't any shops in the U.S that sell individual pieces. However, I do have a few spare Zhanchi torpedo pieces lying around (they look slightly different, but I already tried it, and they work fine on the Lunhui) that I could sell you, feel free to P.M me.
