There will be eight different cubes, named by the Eight Planet in the Solar System. See difference in this picture:

This guy is a genius in creating cubes

At last, he said that Crazy Megaminx Plus will also be released soon

Looks very cool!

 

[canadiancuber]

THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!!

 

[masterofthebass]

I don't know if he's that much of a genius, he just can make lots of types of circle cubes ;P

That being said, he does design some pretty cool puzzles.

I think that all of these crazy cubes is going a little bit too far. What's next, crazy pyraminx?

I don't like the non-symmetry. Hope these can be changed easily so that *no* centers rotate (apparently that's called "Circle 3x3x3" invented by someone else).

 

[Deleted member 4527]

hmm I've seen the crazy 3x3 on mf8 but not the megaminx...interesting

so only two of the circles on each cube rotate?

 

[daniel0731ex]

it depends on the model.

The designer explained this in the original thread. i'm just too lazy to translate all of his words Here's what he said:

i had planned to make Crazy 3*3 cube since three years ago, but i found that it had been made by others in TwistyPuzzle, so i decided to create such more challenging cubes with Mr Huo(idk who he is)

And that's why he named them "Crazy 3*3 Plus"

OMG IT LOOKS ****ING AWESOME (Please PopBuying )

 

[Zarxrax]

Wow, I want one of those 3x3x3s!
Well... after I figure out how to solve this crazy 3x3x2

 

[Zubon]

Amazing. I love any cube that is 'crazy'. I have never had so many unique solving experiences as I have with the crazy cubes that are coming out now.

This. I'd much rather have a fully functional Circle 3x3x3, instead of these bandaged versions. I'd like to see those mass produced before the Crazy 3x3 Plus or the Crazy Megaminx Plus.

I hope simple modding can make the unbandaging possible.

You know, these Crazy cubes are really intimidating (well, it was for me, at least), but they're far easier than expected. I recently bought a crazy 3x3x2:

I solved that cube in about 10 minutes. I was honestly expecting to struggle with it, but it was really easy. While the Crazy 3x3x3 also looks intimidating, I'm expecting it to be a piece of cake as well.

Any idea when these will be for sale?

It could be
But if you want a really puzzling puzzle, try carzy 4x4x4 version II
you need to master at least 4 puzzle : 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4 and 2x2x3

 

[qqwref]

Nah, for crazy 4x4-II all you need is:

Spoiler

to be able to solve a 2x2 and a supercube 4x4

I understand that Daqing doesn't want to bother with the normal Crazy 3x3 because it's already been done, but it would be nice to be able to buy one for a reasonable price anyway.

Interestingly, since the centers on a Crazy 3x3 don't need to rotate, you could actually make it 100% out of wood, or even out of only paper. It would be interesting to try this.

That would be awesome.

 

[0xyg3n]

its really awesome, at first sight i thought that 8 cubes are same, but actually different in the big circle construction...

i use the 2x3x3 algorith to pair up all the little circle pieces...

The Diansheng version is different from the DaYan version.
