The first is a pretty standard 2x2x3.  Now, the box said it was a Z-Cubes cube, but I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s a Lan-Lan due to the color scheme.  It&#8217;s identical to that of my Lan-Lan Void Cube.  As a puzzle, it&#8217;s pretty straight forward and standard and more of a filler piece than anything else.  The other cube is a DianSheng Diamond Tank (listed as Crystal Skewb online).  This one (shown to the left) is actually a very cool.  It&#8217;s a 3x3x3 shape mod to make a 14-sided puzzle, adding grey as the last two colors.  This can have parity but is otherwise an identical solve to a standard 3x3x3.  However, it&#8217;s a very neat spin on the classic and I&#8217;m pretty happy to have added it to the collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I purchased a pair of new cubes this past week on eBay.
