Dayan Megaminx I

[ThomasJE]

By giving an extra surface to aid grip for turning.

So let's ban textured tiles.

I don't think this counts as a functionality issue; it's just a different shape of the puzzle. The one with the normal stickers is also no easier to recognize than a regular puzzle.

 

[Godmil]

Ok cool, cause I like the idea.

 

[Michael Womack]

So there already out?

So there already out?

From what I've heard, they are starting to be posted out the first week of october, but some shops already have them ready to start selling.

they're only pre-orders

Oh ok thanks

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

I'd say the ridges are not functionality, they're ergonomics. The extra grip is really no different a concept from tiled megaminxes, which are perfectly legal. Still no word from the WCA discussion on this? I've no idea what would take so long to discuss.

I briefly thought about adding ridges in a design I have Good thing this megaminx doesn't look anything like my designs...

For those that are quite impatient and think that stores have this puzzle already, they don't. They aren't even in production yet! So stores (including mine) are offering pre-orders.

What if it's like the other Dayan cubes Example Dayan 4x4 V2, Dayan 6x6, Dayan 8x8, or Dayan 10x10 where there's photos on the internet showing them but they never get released.

Because there are pre-orders for the cube.

51morefun is selling these too. They say that these will be available for shipping after the China's national holiday.

51morefun will be shipping from around the 15th october (iirc). Dayan said to them that he will be shipping the megaminxes out to the stores on the 8th of october. And they are still in the testing phase as of what I heard.

[JianhanC]

JeansPearly will have them in stock at about the 3rd week of October. I've actually thought of doing Florian's mod on my MF8 haha.

 

[NSKuber]

It seems that DaYan is like Blizzard Entertaiment: they announce a cube(game), and then tell nothing about the release date, saying "when it's done". And the release date will be announced like several weeks-month before release

A new dayan megaminx but still no new 3x3? I'm not sure about the rest of the people here, but I would rather have a new 3x3 than a new megaminx.

I would have to disagree because the last two Dayan Cubes (Guhong 2, ZhanChi) are in my opinion the perfect 3x3x3 speedcubes. I can't really see dayan being able to make another 3x3 that is miles better anytime soon.

 

[qqwref]

There are some really good 3x3s on the market. If you have the best models out there and still feel like your cube is slowing you down and desperately needs improvement, I don't know what to tell ya.

Megaminx, on the other hand...
