Yea I was thinking about buying it too. They also have it in white.

I hope people realize this is a knock-off and will choose not to support criminals.

I really dislike this attitude. Of course it's a knock-off. I see it like calling all major car manufacturers criminals, or perhaps large computer brands. It's not their idea but they still make them.

I just made an order on DealExtreme 30 minutes ago, I was very close to ordering one of these.

No, it's not. Not even close.

This is different. This is an exact copy of the floppy cube, not just a similar concept like different brands of cars and computers.

It's been a looong time since I've seen someone make a stupider analogy then this. To use one of your analogies, this is the equivalent of someone stealing every line of code and every piece of hardware from a Macbook design, calling it a "Pear," and selling it for less.

 

[PatrickJameson]

Well, I just bought one. I guess I'm a horrible person who supports criminals.

He also hates puppies and probably worships the devil.

I embolden "I see". I accept that it's not a totally sound analogy but I think it supports my view. When the product is something as invisible to the mass market as a Floppy Cube I think my point is valid. If it's a product that a large percentage of the population will see and use everyday, off course it's a stupid analogy; you're not just copying some moulds that plastic will sit in. I know I used the example of cars and computers but look past that, and my tiredness, and see my point.

And just to stay on topic, I wonder what the quality is like. Did someone say it was exactly the same? It'll either be one of those utterly terrible copies or hopefully one that's comparable to the original.

I am also curious as to what the quality is like. The floppy cube from tribox is about 10 dollars so this cant be that bad of a knockoff?

Don't judge quality by price. Knock-off companies have cheap prices due to lower manufacturing costs because they simply copy the puzzles and don't spend nearly as much time changing and improving the puzzle.

Well not everything on deal extreme is a knock off. The cube4you cube looks pretty legit to me. Also the 20 dollar mirror blocks are said to be real from all the reviews. I also have the type C diy from them, which is also very good. The prices on these are also better.

*Looks like they also just added new maru mini 3x3's while I was looking at the cubes again.

 

[cuberman0312]

mine. please

 

[Konsta]

I've been looking for these!
Ordered a black and white one. There are differences in plastic for sure.
Oh, and I too am a bad bad person who not only supports criminals, but has ones in the family
And free shipping is a great way to make me buy things.
I think if you're a human being, you are a criminal, no matter what.

 

[Thomas09]

I'd like to see the core of them. It intruiges me. If it looks relatively good, then I might get one. If it looks like Lego I'll probably make my own.

 

[Bomber]

If you thought $4.99 was too steep, how about $3.76? Yes, you read that correctly: $3.76. You can now own a black or white criminal-supporting Floppy Cube for less than $4.

Hahahah is deal perfect a wannabe deal extreme? They have less cubes =/.

*Are those v cubes knockoffs on deal perfect? They have them stickered with v cube stickers, but its only 30 dollars.

 

[TheJoker]

one question though... is TYPE A, B, C, D, E, F, Yuga, Dian-Sheng, Joy, Edison a original... or did all of them is a knock-off of RUBIK'S CUBE...???

is anybody here support the original RUBIK's brand or all of us use a different brand which is if the above question is true then we all support the criminals... like CUBE4YOU, DEALEXTREME...???

on topic... i like the white one hope it is a very good copy... hope anyone gave a review... thanks a lot...
