I just got my new SS 4x4 v4(I think) from thecubicle.us today, and the other cubes I got are great. But the 4x4 has some internal catching and is locking up because of it during solves. Is that just extra flash on some of the pieces and needs to be broken in? Or is something wrong with it? Do new SS 4x4 v4's usually have this extra flash on pieces? Thanks!
 
I want to know, which is the best Square 1 atm, which one of these 3 is the best:
MF8 Square-1
CubeTwist Square-1
Calvin's Square-1
 
This concerns the Dayan Lunhui,
is it normal for the corner to catch on the center when reverse corner cutting (the kind where you do a slight U then do a R') ?

No. This part of a YouTube video by tall5001 shows how well it can reverse corner cut. (I'm fairly sure that the cube in that video had been lubricated. Lubricating a puzzle can affect how well it can reverse corner cut [and other things].)

V5s are the only ones without the internal catching. It gets better after breaking in but if you want to mod it away completely you are looking to do the Konsta Mod. Videos can be found on youtube on what pieces to sand down.
 
Just double checking, the fangshi illusion is comp legal in 2014 according to the updated 2014 WCA regulations, right? I don't really see anything that doesn't allow it so far but I want to double check.

Based on what they have so far, yes, but if all the people complaining come through they might loosen it up.
If you're looking to buy one don't count on it until they release an official statement.

It's my main OH cube (and has been for a few months). I switched caps with a 57mm fangshi to have an all black fangshi but the screw keeps eating into the center cap (center pieces on both cubes are different so I can't switch them). I really liked it better as an illusion.
