MoYu 15x15x15

[LarryLunchmeat]

I bought an 11X11 a few years ago and it sits on the shelf. It's a showpiece really, I never really solve it; I find once a cube gets bigger than around 8X8, the algs strat to get clumsy and it turns into something you have to finish solving just because you started. It's cool that they're building a cube that big and all, but I'll never buy it.

Plus $38.82 shipping. Actual cost $298.82.

Womp womp

 

[cubeguy13]

they are 268 dollars at zcube.com including shipping.

I challenge you to find a 13x13 for a price significantly different to $300 (let's say 10%). The only places I have seen it, it cost $299.99 or $300.

Edit - I found one for $299.

Moyu 15x15 Thoughts

I will buy it and can't wait. I know others will too and that is a very valid reason for making it. In addition, these head line grabbing puzzles are great promotions for Moyu and the real profits might actually come from the other sales they generate.

Well,
Even though the mech would be really cool, and it would be massive, it would be time consuming, and it would be fun probably only the first 2 solves only.
If we look at the two factors:
moyu 13x13 price: about $300 dollars
YuXin 11x11 price: about $140 dollars.
This would bring the price of the 15x15 to about... $620. Outrageous. One thing is that the moyu 13x13 is higher quality than the YuXin 11x11.

I dont think Moyu will get the profit they expected themselves to. People will probably leave reviews like:


E.G.:
=======================
Cool Cube 3.5 stars

I really was impressed by the turning, and how it never pops,
though I didnt expect it to be as fun as I thought. The 13x13
would probably be the limit to a decently fun solve every
time.
======================

I do think that lots of people would buy it, but probably wouldnt leave the best review for it.

Overall Thoughts on this cube:

I got one for $240 from SpeedCubeShop just because there is mostly always a 20% discount there

Keep in mind that Yuxin is much cheaper than Moyu, so that price scale is not valid.

That's not hard. Cubezz.com doesn't list it on the main site, but if you email them for a full list of their products, the moyu 13x13 is only 268.99 USD. With free shipping

(I win?)

Barely outside of the limit I set and months later than when I posed the question.

You may have 1/2 a cookie.

so is the 15x15 actually coming out?

so is the 15x15 actually coming out?

Well it seems Moyu is still working on it and since they rarely cancel cubes it's pretty safe to assume that it will come out but we don't know when.

 

[DELToS]

I'm selling a like-new 13x13 for $200, so I win.

 

[Ordway Persyn]

I'd assume the 15x15 would cost $350 - $400

 

[Ben Wak]

Well it is the final month of 2015 hurry up and release it
I think when it dose come out it will make the 13x13 I tiny bit cheaper

 

[Tony Fisher]

Well it is the final month of 2015 hurry up and release it

Anyone who has been into cubing for a while will know that long forecast release dates are virtually always far too optimistic. I predict late 2016 or early 2017 based on experience alone.

I'd assume the 15x15 would cost $350 - $400

Seems about right.

Next: mass-produced 17x17?
I predict that they will tie the long-standing record of 17 layers sometime in 2017.

They cancelled the TangChuang
