To follow up on Adam's rant on people getting MAD at new speed cubes being made/ released, I'd like to complain myself towards people getting SAD when new, or "better" speed cubes are announced. Specifically those who complain something like "oh, I was planning on buying [cube-Y] but I just found that the newer [cube-X] will be released a few months from now, better cancel my plans to buy [Y] and wait for [X] instead, woe is me!". I just don't get this mentality at all. If this is how you are when buying cubes, then you're just going to wait forever. The cube market is bigger than it's ever been, and it isn't getting any smaller. Gone are the days where Dayan and Shengshou are the only cube manufacturers anyone ever brought from. Today, there are so many competent brands out there, and new/ upgraded cubes get released every other week, it seems. It feels like Moyu in particular release a puzzle twice a month (possible exaggeration). Look, I get that you're not that wealthy, or you're just stingey with money. I am too, currently. You don't want to buy a new puzzle to possibly be your main every single month. I don't either.
"So what do I do?"
Here's what you do: just buy that puzzle that you currently have your eyes on, and don't think about replacing it until it feels outdated compared to everyone else's (or if you get a little money, and feel like treating yourself to a fancy new cube). Unless you're a world-class solver, and minor improvements make all the difference, you don't need to buy the latest shiny new cube.
But I'm still a pretty new speed solver, so I could be talking rubbish.
