Type A IV and V and other weird cubes (lots of pictures)

[pentrixter]

If I recall correctly. HKNowStore does not sell the Ghost Hand. They have another Type F clone that is very similar to the Ghost Hand however.

Well at the actual store I think they called it that when I asked what they were in english.

lol the people working at the store are dumbasses when it comes to cubing. Here's what usually happens. I ask a cube question, they'll start asking each other, then they'll say that they don't know much about cubes. If I really want to know, then I ask them to call Calvin Fan (owner).

I actually asked Calvin Fan (owner of HKNowStore) to stock those because if he did, he would be the sole distributor in Hong Kong for the A V which means he'll get a ton of money. The last thing he said to be was "Ok I will get it soon." That was like two and a half months ago though.

I know what you mean lol. With every question I asked the guy he went and phoned someone (I'm assuming Calvin Fan) about it.

Did you ask in English? If you did, they get even more nervous. It's pretty fun to watch.

My friend and I used to speak English just so they stop advertising to us.

Well I don't know chinese =P So yeah I asked in english. With some of the things they sold there that I asked about he sometimes went "Oh they have those in Canada or the US, you should just get it there." Kinda amused me that he was turning down business like that lol

New fisher cube !

We shall new fisher cube in 2 days in shop, this one is official. Photo as below,

 

[howtocube (JB)]

I don't know if anyone ever pointed this out, but the first one is a D II and we have one on the way from Cubeforyou. I am anxious to get it and see if I concur with pentrixter.

I received my "Big Goose" or Taiyan in the mail today and my first impression after building it (no lube) is that it is going to be MONEY. Thanks a million Calvin Fan! We will be doing a formal review of both the Tai Yan and Ghost Hand cubes (as well as FII and DII when the post office finally gets them to us) soon on our channel.

Which brings me to another point. hknowstore is an awesome shop, I ordered from them nearly three days after I placed an order from cubeforyou and had it shipped via the same method and the now store order beat my C4Y order. Of course it may have to do with C4Y coming through Shanghai and HK coming from Hong Kong. Still to any that haven't ordered from Calvin, I recommend you consider his shop for your next order.

yep methinks anoncube1 is d2 and anoncube2 is taiyan-biggoose

d2 isnt very good but the taiyan is pretty good. d2 seems good at first but it gets weird after a while. taiyan doesnt cut corners... but its still good.

Nameless Cube #1: 國優旋風 (Chinese name: uh... hard to translate)

This is a Type F clone. It is special in that neither corners nor edges have holes... at all. It's an excellent cube. It cuts at least 40 degree corners and it doesn't really jam. It's speedy and I haven't had a pop yet. Will deserve an A as an overall score if I was to review it. I got this at the real HK Now Store (not online). Here's their website - http://www.hknowstore.com/.

This one is a type DII (link)

I have a Tai Yan, and can confirm that it is Nameless Cube #2. It's noisy and heavy, but very cooperative. Sort of wobbly-feeling at looser tension, but cuts corners nicely that way, so. Never pops. Interesting crunchy feel. Responds well to lube.

I like to pick it up from time to time but it's too heavy for primary use; I'm a C or F kinda guy.
