your speed cube history.

First: Pimped out storebought
Next: DaYan GuHong
Next: DaYan LingYun
Next: DaYan GuHong (again)

When I started cubing, I obviously just had a storebought, then I modded it when getting more into cubing. Then I got a GuHong, which was my main speedcube until I got a LingYun. But after a while with the LingYun, I traded it, so my main cube reverted back to the GuHong.
 
1) Brought the official company off friend for £1
2) Brought a 2x2x2 off puzl.com
3) Brought a better 3x3x3 from a bookstore.
 
1. storebought (Nov-ish 2006 to Oct 2007)
2. old type A (Oct 2007 to Jan 2010)
3. some cube I bought in China. I think it might be a clown cube? (Jan 2010 to Sept 2010)
4. A-V (a brief flirtation/affair that lasted no more than a few weeks)
5. A-II (Sept 2010 to )
 
1981a; Crap KO, the core broke
1981b; Ideal toys Rubik (Arxxon, German edition also sold in Sweden and Finland)
2005-present, Only diffrent Rubiks

Yes, sure, I may got a few others but I'm a puritan since that first sucky thing (note that this only goes for 3x3, I use LL 2x2 (was ES), ES 4x4 (was Rubik) and V5 (was Rubik, ES, Rubik)).
