X-Cube and X-Cube Master are on sale at Amazon

[Kaiju_cube]

I bought the X-Cube and the X-Cube Master this week and really have been having fun with them. It's a great puzzle plus it has a good feel to it. Really solid and chunky.

I liked the X-Cube so much I ordered two more as back ups (just in case) something happens to the one I'm using. They don't seem to be really mass produced and I wonder if they'll still be available years down the road.

There seems to be a company named Calvin making something like it, and a tower cube, but the reviews say it's a really fragile and not very good. The X-Cube I got is from Moving Parts (on amazon) and it's been very durable so far.

They're less than $20. if anyone is interested. The X-Cube is a really fun solve. Sort of like a 3x3 and a 5x5,.. with some weird shape shifting as well.

I'm surprised Rubiks hasn't made one yet. It really has that solid, chunky, plastic "Rubiks" feel to it.

Under $20 for both of those puzzles is very cheap. They were $30-$40 in stores at Barnes & Noble.

yeah that's why I got them. I was just curious and never really saw them mentioned before. Turns out they're a lot of fun. I'm really enjoying them.

..I say "them", I'm enjoying the X-Cube, I haven't made my way to the Master one just yet. Still trying to learn and memorize the last layer algs for the X-Cube.

They're cheap though, I forget the price but they were around $15. each. I've enjoyed the X-Cube enough I ordered a couple more as spares last night and thought I should post a PSA here for other puzzle fans since the price seems so good on these. The Cubicle says they're discontinued so I guess once they're gone they're gone.

I honestly don't know why I haven't seen people talk about these puzzles. And there's really only a small handful of them on YouTube.

this is the one I was interested in but the reviews say the quality is not good.. still tempted to get it though out of sheer curiousity.

Because they're quite old. They've been around for years so wouldn't be actively discussed.

I haven't tried the Calvin 3x3x5. I have a bunch of Witeden cuboids, including the 3x3x5, and they're all very good - except one of the large 2x2 ones that would not stay together.

The X-Cube is an Amazon exclusive price that's very good and the puzzle feels high quality.
