Shengshou 6x6?

I was on 51morefun.com and saw where the SS 6x6 SHOULD be, but it's not. Anyone know if this website is still selling them or another website I could get one?

It's probably cause they're out of stock. They only had the prototype version, so they didn't have many. I'm guessing the final version will be up on their site in a few days.

Well that makes sense then. I guess I'll have to wait. D:
I NEED a new 6x6 desperately, I tried the pi mod on my v-cube; now it's practically garbage. I've never been great with big mods like that. :fp
 
so v cubes has forced the online store that will be selling the shengshou 6x6's to take them off because of patent infringement. I was under the impression that this was a new design? anyway, I'm still getting mine because it's been paid for. we'll see what's up with that when I get it. Apparently this cube is a v cube knockoff. I doubt that. we'll see.
 
I encourage all of you to do 2 things! The first of which being boycott V-Cube's. I am sick and tired of Verde's trying to hinder the growth of this hobby when they fear a product better than theirs has been released.

Secondly, each of you should go to the v-cubes.com website and send an email to them explaing how you feel about them trying to prevent this hobby from growing. They need to stop trying to monopolize this market. Below is the email I sent to them:

To Whom it may concern,

My name is Max McWhirter and I just read something on my speedsolving forum that made me cringe. After reading it, i decided it time to write you and tell you my thoughts.

I have become an avid speedsolver and one of my favorite parts of this hobby is the expansion of the equipment. Whether it be unique puzzles, or people creating new mechanisms that expand on the puzzles already in existence.

I just read on the forum that you have had the Shengshou 6x6 pulled from store shelves and online store fronts for "patent infringement". Verde's please get off of your high horse and allow this hobby to grow! I know for a fact that myself and many of the other cubers that i've talked to are eager to get and try this new 6x6 speedcube. If you cared for this hobby, art, sport, skill, passion, or what have you at all you would drop this useless claim and allow them to release thei new cube!

If it bothers you that much that someone may have finally created a 6x6 better than the one you have created; which requires heavy modding to even be a decent speedcube, then dare I say, get up and re-make your 6x6!

I beg of you, stop trying to become the only cube creator in the world, noone deserves a monopoly on this market.

Your products will be boycotted by me from this point until you realease word that you are going to start being more open to change and new ideas. Including but not limited to, new cubes using similar or completely different mechanisms than your own, cubes that you feel may be better than the one's you've created. Maybe stop creating havoc and being an annoyance and start creating new cubes from your company. It would be nice if you could also begin aiding in the expansion of this hobby and stop trying to hinder!

- Max McWhirter

Where does it say that? I know I can't find it on the store, but I didn't know v-cube had forced them to take it down.
 
Yea, the problem with v-cube is that there is pretty much no way to make any cube larger than a 5x5 without having the mechanism somewhat similar to theirs. So, unless someone comes up with a crazy new mechanism, v-cube is basically the only company that can make 6x6-11x11. Not that I think that's the right thing to do (they should really only bother with cubes that are almost exact copies of the v-cube mech), but it's just that any cube larger than a 5x5 probably shares enough similarities with the v-cube mech that v-cube can get away with calling it a KO.

Damn... I was really hoping to get the final version when it came out.
Are you going to be selling it privately?

I really hope Verde's get's their act straight and allows this cube to come out. I really really want one. I'm not waitiing either, if i see the presale back up anywhere I will buy it without hesitation.
 
Verdes is single handedly destroying the speedcube market. Because of that damned patent we will never have a decent speedsolvable 6x6x6.

Every puzzle forum is overflowing with discussion about the V-Cube patent. It's only a matter of time before Verdes sues nature for making clouds that look like V-Cubes...
 
"I spoke with Konstantinos at Mall of America about KO puzzles. He told me his big concern was direct copies of the V mechanism. Like YJ 5, 6, 7, 9, 11 and maru 4x4. "

Seeing the quote above, isn't Shengshou 6x6 NOT a direct copy of V cubes? I thought the Shengshou 6x6 was a "design around"?

Ok someone agrees with me, that is assuming you weren't being facetious. If you are in fact serious and feel as I do on this subject please go to The v-cubes.com website and fill out a contact form expressing your distaste for what Verdes is doing. Be sure to keep it as civil as possible but also to get your point across. Without action there is no change, complaining about it here won't do any good unless we've also taken our concerns to the source.

Please I ask any and all of you that feel what is being done is wrong to take your concerns to Verdes and let them know how you feel.

That's what I thought too. I remember seeing the mechanism, it wasn't like it was an exact copy. Sure, it shared some similarities, (like, they both have an internal mechanism), but again, that's no reason to sue them. I still think v-cube has the right idea with getting rid of exact copies, but they're kind of taking it to the extreme.

Do you know how long ago the Mall of America competition was?
