I am so excited .

This one is metallic .

It is shiny .

I can see myself what the heck uh how to solve the cube .

Yes .

People will be learning on this cube .

Hope you can read Chinese literally , there's only Chinese on this useless first turns .

This is hilarious .

I love this .

Wait a minute .

There we go .

I got the whole cube in frame now .

This is so stupidly big .

Let's try J perm .

Um Actually , yeah , I think I should do the shorter J perm if I'm gonna be doing it on this cube .

Oh OK .

Let's try that again .

Ah There we go .

We got the J perm .

This cube is so big .

I wonder if the pieces are larger than three by three S .

The answer is yes .

As it turns out this is bigger than 27 3 by threes .

How should I even be turning this thing ?

If I turn the top , it's actually pretty easy .

But if I want to turn the sides , I have to lift it off the table a little , little bit .

Uh That should be fine .

Oh What about slice moves ?

Oh That's , yeah , that's , that's just terrible .

Uh I can't really do finger tricks .

Like index finger .

Oh , reverse push .

00 , wow .

That almost works .

D moves .

Oh , yeah .

Oh , that's perfect Reger .

Plus F oh , not a chance .

Wait , can this cube corner cut ?

Oh .

How do you , how do you even turn ?

I , I can't tell if it's not corner cutting or I'm just not turning properly .

It's probably not corner cutting .

Ok .

Yeah .

Yeah .

It can do a very little bit .

Let's test reverse corner cutting .

Oh yeah .

Yeah .

Nothing at all .

There .

Wait a second .

Wow , this is way bigger than the 21 by 21 cube .

The biggest cube I have is now just beaten by a three by three .

It feels really dry and maybe this cube could be faster and help me turn .

So I think I should probably put some lube in this .

I have a big bottle of Lunar .

So I'm just gonna use this up now .

I don't think I should use all of it .

The bottle says to use six drops , but this cube is way bigger than usual .

27 times as big .

So should I use 27 times as many drops ?

Six times , 27 drops is like uh 100 and 62 drops .

No , there's no way .

OK .

The surface area is only nine times .

I think I should use 54 drops .

All right , we're gonna trust the math .

Look at how much we start at and uh let's go .

There is a 100% chance I regret this .

Ok ?

I put in 27 drops .

I am scared to go further .

That's half of what I said .

I would let's just see how it turns .

Oh , that's really weird .

It's just , do you hear that ?

It's like an extra little snap .

I don't know how visible this is , but the green is a little higher than the white .

It's , is actually catching right here sometimes if I'm holding pressure onto the cube from the top .

So I think I'm gonna have to be pretty loose with my turning and not push down on the top .

I don't feel like there's enough lobe .

Yeah , I'm gonna keep putting in 27 more drops .

Oh , wow .

I've used a lot of it but this bottle is pretty big .

54 drops of lunar lube is this cube the best .

Now , who knows ?

Maybe I still even need more lube than that .

But I'm just going to trust the math .

I think 54 is the right number and I'm going to see how fast I can solve this thing now that it is turning .

Amazing .

Just kidding .

A lot of these pieces have that thing where one side is just higher than the other side and I guess the corner is just catching on it as it goes by .

Oh , well , I've struggled with worse before I can do this .

The name of the game here is to be optimal with saving moves and not worry about the speed , optimal stuff .

One regular three by three because there's no turn like U turn or L turn or R turn , that's going to be faster than the others .

They're all the same speed .

I'm actually counting the number of moves .

I have a six move red cross and for green , I have 12345 .

OK , I'm doing the green cross ready set go .

Ok .

Red , white .

And this one yellow as I insert yellow , I'm going to pair up this one and insert it .

Let's go straight into the yellow , orange .

Oh , my .

Oh my .

I can't turn .

Ok .

And we have the yellow red in the back .

Oh my .

This is actually not too bad muscle memory .

Ok .

I think I got the rest wide moves .

Feel really weird .

Ok .

What have we got here ?

Um , this , yes , it's an a perm .

That's the most move efficient PLO .

Oh my God .

Ah , that was just over one minute .

Ok .

This is the luck we needed five moved cross on orange , but with a set up yellow , blue pair .

So this could be the one .

All right .

Ready set go .

Uh , turning is kind of hard on that one .

I , I did too many moves there .

That the thing I just did probably wasn't the best solution .

Ok , let's go .

Let's go .

Lucky .

Last pair got paired up together for me .

Turn .

Uh , how do we do ?

This , this thing doesn't turn .

Sometimes shorter .

J come on .

Oh , yes .

Under one minute , I'm sure I could do that even better with the luckier scramble and better turning .

But , wow , that was fun .

Let's actually see if I can .

Oh , wow .

I could probably loosen this and do much better .

What are the chances this thing pops ?

Right .

That , like , can I , can I take out a piece ?

Oh , I can't .

This is so funny .

It , it just feels like I have baby hands with a normal size cube .

Oh my , this is a pretty like not that great mechanism .

If it can't corner cut .

I wonder if there are any engineering issues when it comes to making cubes bigger because I know you can't just downscale cubes to be smaller ones because those ones aren't always as great .

So upscaling probably has its own issues as well .

Let's do one last thing .

Hey , it's the checkerboard pattern .

OK .

This is a metallic cube .

I don't know how much like it is if it's just the coating , but we're gonna find out .

Oh , wow .

This is so shiny and perfectly reflective .

It's not metal inside , it's just a normal core and metal on the outside or is this even metal or is it just a reflective material ?

I don't know .

You guys tell me it's almost like it's a color changing cube because I can't tell which colors they are as they're moving really fast and just the way the light keeps changing how it reflects .

Like for example , the white side , sometimes it's just reflecting something and it takes on the color of I can't even point because my hand gets there , but it's taking on the color of whatever it's reflecting .

Look at the scrambling that looks amazing .

It looks even better in person than on camera because the cube moves and my head moves .

So actually it's more like this .

This is probably the nicest looking cube that I own .

Sorry , $600 for Sky Cube .

But sometimes money can't buy beauty look even Santa is blocking his eyes from all these reflected lights .

I inspected first two pairs but now I don't know what to do .

Um OK .

Oh wow .

This is so hard to recognize uh V perm .

Did I even do that right ?

Yes , I did .

14 seconds .

Not bad .

This could actually be a pretty good cube .

Let's look at the corner cutting .

It's a bit tough on 45 less than that .

Still kind of tough .

Reverse corner cutting .

OK .

Uh Like tornado levels of corner cutting .

Oh , what year is this ?

It has rounded corners instead of the sharp corners that the corner are so easy .

I'm surprised I didn't get one yet .

Overall , pretty happy with this cube .

I could even just make a full montage of me cubing and watching the fun colors .

Is this why I've still been a cuber all these years ?

Not because I like to push myself to improve .

But because I like watching fun colors move .

Let's not think about it .

And finally we have the Tornado V two , but the blue limited edition winter version , OK .

As soon as I saw this , I just realized this is like the fourth tornado I've opened .

And I'll be honest , every single one I've gotten so far has been a disappointment in its own way .

Oh , the magnet area is yellow .

You know what ?

This would be so much cooler and more exciting if I had not just opened two amazing cubes , one of which looks like this .

Ok .

Maybe I should have opened this one first just to manage expectations .

But there you go .

It's a tornado V two M .

It's got the same corner cutting issues .

Oh , yeah .

Don't get me wrong .

The tornado V two is a very good cube .

It's just that it has this fundamental flaw that makes it not a top speed cube .

You know what I can tell you exactly what happens from here .

I don't really want to put on the stickers .

I think having a blue cube is pretty cool , but I'm gonna put on the stickers anyway , just so I can say I've done it and then I'm going to be disappointed by it and then I'm not going to take them off again because I will be too lazy .

Stickers are just the worst .

The application tape keeps coming up with it .

I have to hold it down .

You know what , for as unbiased as I tried to be in that other video about stickers .

I am very biased now , this sucks .

It's like the stickers won't come off the backing properly when I'm trying to lift it off .

But then when I actually put it onto the cube , then it doesn't want to come off of the application tape .

Like you gotta pick one which side is stickier right there is the orange side , you know what ?

Screw it .

I'm not even taking off the application tape .

The stickers are just gonna come off with it and it's just gonna make me frustrated .

I'm just gonna do algorithms that don't involve any orange pieces , which is just this guys be honest , like does this look good ?

I think sticker less cubes look better because the color is more full and it's nothing against sticker cubes .

I like it when there's a black border because the contrast is great and especially the green side .

It just hurts my eyes to even look at this .

You know what though , I'm satisfied with this unboxing .

We had this and we had this .

If you want to buy these , I'm pretty sure you can't buy the blue cube anymore because it was limited edition and sold out .

So if you want to get any of the others , go to speed cube shop dot com and make sure you use the discount code J Perm .

Thanks for watching and I'll see you all next time .
