WTB: OP Zhanchi

[Big Red]

I'm Looking for an Original Plastic Zhanchi in good condition (preferably Unmodded, cube color and stickers doesn't matter ). If you have one you'd be willing to let go I'll pay a good price for it ( I don't really have a range in mind). If your interested PM me with pics and your price.


Also I only use paypal goods and services for purchase protection. Just Factor the fee into your price and I'll pay the fee.

I have one in White and it is restickered. It is at my house though, and I am in my dorm. PM me so we can plan this out. I'll be at home in about 16 days.

Why? If you think this is a good cube, I'm sure many of us would love to recommend better ways to spend your money.

How do you tell whether it's old or new?

When did you buy yours? I'm guessing since you joined the forums last October you bought it fairly recently. The OP Zhanchi was produced in very limited numbers, because soon after it was released they switched to the plastic used in the ones today.

So when did they switch? Mine was bought in Jan 2014. It's not for sale though, it was my first speed cube.

Actually I got it from a friend who has it for quite a while, but he isn't sure when he bought it.

Most likely new. The zhanchi was first released sometime before june 2013

I was using a Zhanchi when I went to comp in April 2013 and it wasn't brand new then.

I got my first one in April 2013, and they'd been out for a while then.

I remember CBC did a bunch of videos about the Zhanchi, I'll check now to see if I can get a better idea of the release date. I'm guessing Summer 2012.

EDIT: Okayso this cube might be much older than we first thought. CBC did a video on a Lubix Zhanchi back in May 2012. I'll update if I find earlier footage.

EDIT2: Jesus Christ, here's a video mentioning the Zhanchi from September 2011, at the 4:47 mark.

EDIT3: Searching "Dayan Zhanchi review" in YouTube, changing the filter to upload date and going to the last page found me possibly the first Zhanchi video ever made, July 7th 2011.

So in conclusion if you got your Zhanchi and it wasn't 2011, probably isn't OP.

Feliks got the 5.66 with a Zhanchi on 25 June 2011.

Okay so we can conclude that the Zhanchi predates humankind.

I believe it was march 2011. I found an old video on icubemarts youtube channel (icubetime) from march 6 2011 saying they would be out b the end of march. Heres the video. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gfVn_Q-8b0

I bought my zhanchi in 2011.

Another way to tell is the cores were originally tan. But it may not be guaranteed because I heard they kept those for awhile.
