New Dayan cubes: Dayan 6! Also Zhanchi minis!

[Kattenvriendin]

I might just get the smallest 3x3 for on the go. I have a mini maru which is cool and works fine, but a bit bigger than that is very welcome.

Good going for Dayan! Are these the first cubes to come out in the 40mm range by the way?

 

[Endgame]

Micro Alphas are 47mm I believe, but for as far as I know, they're EOL

42mm Stickerless? Awesome!

 

[PeelingStickers]

It will look like this:

but considerably better.

I have some news...

55mm mini zhanchi will be in black or white. (Released in 3-4 days)
50mm mini zhanchi will be in black or white. (Released in 3-4 days)
42mm mini zhanchi will be stickerless only. (Released in 5-7 days)

Bonus!!! They will be more affordable than other dayan 3x3's yayyyyy!

Keep in mind it will take about an extra week for stores to have them in stock.

Any idea on how much they will be in mainland china for the 50mm and 55mm? like if someone was in china buying from a chinese cube store?
I just don't feel like destroying my brain by trying to read chinese before a test and I hate trying to read what google translate gives me.

I have no idea.

I talk to Calvin (owner of HKnowstore) all the time. He can pretty much go to Dayan directly and pick up DIY's and assembled samples...

I can't use minis. They get me out of sync. But the Dayan 6 sounds cool.

Spoiler

The difference between this:

and this:

is just too much.

Awesome. I wonder which size would be good. Hmm... and does anyone know offhand if Cubesmith has or will have stickers for these sizes?

My guess is that they will come out with stickers after a little while...that's what usually happens (increase in demand -> increase in supply).

Beware with shipping to The Netherlands from USA with USPS: http://kassa.vara.nl/vraag-beantwoord/vraag/vadetail/tnt-inklaring-usps/

Same applies to USPS shipping to Belgium.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Never had anything bad happen and I have ordered more than 50 times from the States.

Mind the article deals with priority mail, this is not sent using that. First-Class Mail International Parcel is likely what will be used as it is the cheapest option for as far as I can see (parcel wise, might be sent in an envelope as well as I chose DIY).

 

[Endgame]

USPS to The Netherlands = always customs
Hong Kong Post and China Post to The Netherlands = no customs

They should prosecute PostNL for those criminal activities

USPS to The Netherlands = always customs

Really?

Never for me. I am not worried.

 

[Endgame]

It always happens to me, and those greedy bastards even charge me taxes and 10 euros to receive my package, which feels like paying the outrageous 6 euros administration fee when getting a Dutch speeding ticket

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Bummer.



I'll be awaiting impatiently (for me, I am not hounding the seller lol) for news!

 

[Endgame]

I'm going to laugh pretty hard if the ones I'm getting from Hong Kong arrive faster

Oh, and before I forget: MOAR DAYAN PUZZLES

 

[PanCakez001]

hey peoples... thecubicle.us has the mini zhanchis as well and they are currently up on their site

What did you order from the States then?

 

[mdolszak]

In case anyone was wondering:

A regular Zhanchi is approximately 57 mm.
A Lingyun (V2) is approximately 55 mm.

So, this means that the 55mm Zhanchi will be approximately the same size as a Lingyun, the 50mm Zhanchi will be approximately the size of a regular Zhanchi - 1/3 of a cubie, and the 42 mm Zhanchi will be just over 2 regular Zhanchi cubies big.

Just wanted to help people visualize the sizes haha.
