V-Cube 4 Review (MeMyself&Pi)

[LNZ]

I have just ordered a white V-cube 4b from the V-cubes site. I also ordered sticker sets for the V-Cube 7, V-Cube 2a and the V-cube 2b as well.

The shipping is shared among all four items, so the cost of the V-Cube 4b (assuming each item has equal shipping costs) is $23.86 EURO or $32.41 AUD.

Which makes it a very expensive 4x4 cube.

If one does the calculation with the cube only and no stickers, the cube costs $35.45 EURO or $48.18 AUD.

This is a very, very expensive 4x4 cube.

For comparison I paid ~ $26 AUD (including S/H) each for all my 3 Eastsheen 4x4's, ~ $12 AUD for each of my 3 Shengshou 4x4's and ~ $16 AUD each
for my 2 QJ 4x4's.

I paid (including S/H) about $34 AUD each for both my Shengshou 6x6 and Shengshou 7x7 cubes.

From the V-cube newsletter/ email update I just got:

We are in the process of building up our stock for the flat and black versions of the cube in order to cope with the high demand from our fans. The enthusiastic and overwhelming reactions we have received so far though led us to the early release of the V-CUBE™ 4b to give our fans a taste of what we believe to be the best 4x4 cube in the market!

Maybe because the people who tried the cube are very much looking forward to the release of the new cubes?

From the V-cube newsletter/ email update I just got:

I actually think this is a good plan from V-cubes, because as soon as the release the black V-4 cubic, it would probably go out of stock very quickly based on the deman we've seen (and by that logic, they owuld have realised this aswell). By releasing one that probably won't sell as well first, they've shown that it exists, generating their own hype whil also giving them time to prepare for the influx of orders on the 4a release.

I think they just make more profit by selling the unpopular (?) pillowed version first and the flat one later.
