Unveiling of the most anticipated V-CUBE 3

[chewbacca1229]

Must admit great shipping speed by v-cubes mine shipped today and it is scheduled to arrive tmrw and i am in new york. Great job verdes. It has been 4 days since my order.

I don't see Vcubes making a better 3x3/4x4 than there already are.

 

[rubiksarlen]

Got mine, pillowed version

Can you please do a video of it?

 

[Mollerz]

Mine arrived, cuts about 30º, reverse cuts about 5º. I can't take the centre caps off so I'm not going to. I'll do a large average and then post an impressions and comparison video later today.

EDIT: Doing this average makes me want to not cube anymore. Don't expect a video, it's an average cube at best.

Your average is now so awesome that you fail to see the point in cubing any more? Nice. I want one!

I think it's the opposite actually.

Good vid on a what seems to be a mediocre cube btw....
Still need to get mine before I can go all out on whining about it though.

 

[GeoSpeedcuber]

It's not my video I only posted the first reviw which I found on youtube

 

[Kirjava]

Seems like an assload of plastic inside that thing.

Is the V-CUBE 3X3 a KO Dayan 3X3?

Here is a video that I made about this and sorry about it being a long video.

The patent photos http://www.v-cubes.com/pdf/European_patent.pdf

Also this video has some other evidence.

 

[emolover]

Not at freakin all.

 

[Jaycee]

Nope. I've just heard the edge pieces are somewhat similar to a Guhong, and that doesn't make it a knockoff.

 

[Kirjava]

They copied the torpz, that's all. I wouldn't call it a 'knock-off'.

The current definition of 'knock off' seems to apply to anything other than V-Cube and Rubik's brands.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

The original V-3 patent design looks similar to a V-5 with bandaging.
To see this, treat the outer 2 layers as 1 and look at those pieces after disassembly. (Corner+3 adjacent wings+xcentre->corner, midge&+centres->edge, centre->centre)
The v-3 design that is out looks like a post-reduction 5x5, so tredges->edge, corner->corner, centres->centre.
Same type of design, but different bandaging of a 5x5.
Still valid, not KO.

Why the hell can't people understand that the images in the patent are completely irrelevant. Please stop comparing a finished product to a theoretical mockup done 7+ years earlier.

 

[Godmil]

Has anyone got a new v-cube with torpedoes? I'm wondering if they pulled them after the hubbub.
