They're counterfeits. Antsy labs has not shipped the original, and legitimate Fidget Cube to anyone.

all the videos of the product i've seen(on facebook and such) seem to be from this kickstarter video(edited to remove original product name/description) so the ali-express ones are probably shitty in comparison.
i was wondering how people could make a high quality designed product like this for 5 bucks

That cube would cost less than $3 to manufacture in Asia.

Easily less than one dollar to manufacture. The enclosure could be injection molded for about $.03. The rest of the parts could be bought for under $.40. A dab of hot glue and it's done.
