TOMY Megaminx (150$) quality is good/bad cons pros etc? Please rate.

Hey my friend have found this (according 2 him) on his basement. Is it good? Any comments, it's real, and it's original...
So, is it worth getting?

$150 for a megaminx? If you want it for speedsolving, then a cheap one would be way more worth it. :tu And even if you just want it as a collectors item, it's very expensive.

i don't care about the price as long as it is good (low lock, low pop, great cornering, reverse)

btw, i never really care about the price of a puzzle

I'd still get an mf8 or mefferts

I've got the best Megaminx in the world that you can have for $400.

On a serious note it's probably one of these

and more than likely it's terrible for speed solving.

but is the tomy better?

 

[~Adam~]

No, it won't be. If they were good they would still make them and they would be popular.

hmmm, but it's old and it looks it going 2 turn well. has anyone tried this, why is it bad. i don't trust eBay on this item, rather my friend

btw, it looks like my PVC 'Pimp my megaminx' version with CS stickers but without the over-sanding

You seriously will pay that much for a $20 puzzle? Why don't you just throw some money into my paypal? I recommend the mf8 like everybody else has been recommending. Stefan Pochmann has a great guide in how to make it better too.

Oh, you didn't say that it looks like it's going to turn well before.

I got the 30th anniversary wooden Rubik cube. That looked like it would turn well too. Sigh.

Here's an idea TRY TURNING IT. It will be full of decades of dust.
Once you get that out it might turn okish but you're going to find out for yourself.

i have the MF8.

That one on ebay was posted 6 months ago and still nobody bought it. Surely that means it's worth it.

? if it's worth it why dont people buy it? b fore u sell urs at the twistypuzzle forum, what's the performance?

People don't buy a $150 puzzle because of performance. People buy it because they are a collector. Who knows, it might be a decent puzzle. But it isn't gonna be much better than a $20 one, because if the design was so great one of the Chinese companies would be producing it. I recommend selling it.

ugh..

 

[Jani]

Just ignore him..

It's not worth unless you're a collector (still, I think it's not that worth)

 

[bigbee99]

I really doubt that it is worth it because if it was really good, it would still be in use, and a company like YJ would use it for their own megaminx.

This post makes me so sad. I died a little bit on this inside from this.

BUY THE PUZZLE. THE HIGHER THE PRICE THE HIGHER THE TURN QUALITY. http://most-expensive.net/rubiks-cube MUST TURN BETTER THEN THE GUHONG, AMIRITE OR AMIRITE?

Don't buy it, unless you wanna collect it. If it were good, a company would copy the mech and sell it for less.
