Pillowed V-Cube 6x6 and 8x8

I own nine V-Cube products and I will support them. It is nice they are finally putting out new products that people might want to buy.

I will buy the pillowed 8x8 cube but not the pillowed 6x6 cube.

When I buy the V-Cube 8, it will be in white plastic as my Shengshou 8x8 is in black plastic.

And I'll see if the V-Cube 8 is as good as the SS8.

So they're (finally) announcing a 6x6 with a decent misalignment mech to make speedsolving it better, and they've pillowed it so you can't use it in speedsolving competitions? This is another example of why I no longer respect V-cubes.

Another example of a speedcuber not entirely understanding the business concept of V-Cubes? They are not focussing on speedcubing, but more on the normal folks who come to toy stores. From that perspective a pillowed, non-clicking 6x6 is a good product. Assuming it does turn nicer than the V-Cube 7 you can't deny that it'd be a big improvement to their regular 6x6.

Even though I fully agree with you, I wonder how big is the market for such high end expensive puzzles for casual buyers that are not speedsolving aware, looked into alternatives online or care about being ko or not. I know there is a market out there for it, just wondering how big comparatively for these high end puzzle sizes. Also, about pillowed, it makes sense to release the entire 2-8(?) pillowed series since 2,3,4 and 7 were already out. Only missing 5 now.
 
In the CrazyBadCuber video "Cube Vs Cube" , V-Cubes say they are the natural successor to Rubik's brand puzzles. And they want Rubik's market for themdelves!
So from this, they are making products for the common man and collectors more than they are for speedcubers.
 
Awesome, can't wait to get one! It's just a shame the 6x6 wouldn't be competition legal... Hopefully the flat one comes out asap. This SS6x6 I have is crappy.
 
IF the V-Cube 6 Cubic gets revamped and is as good as stated, I think I'll have to buy one; no matter how much I dislike companies and blahblahblah, I will buy the best cube on the market(if it's not a close debate.)
 
I have just ordered a white V-Cube 8 from http://www.v-cubes.com as I own a black Shengshou 8x8.

Cube Cost: $49.99 EURO
S/H Cost: $14.25 EURO (8 days max, using UPS, Greece to Australia)
Processing Fee: $01.93 EURO (This still is a mysterious charge, what is it for?)

Total Cost: $66.17 EURO (or $105.38 AUD, 1 AUD = 62.7940 EURO cents)

I paid $93 AUD for my Shengshou 8x8 ($88 USD for cube, $5 USD for S/H) with the cost in AUD being $93 (1 AUD = 99.71 US cents at the time)

I am looking forward to using this product. It might get some time getting used to.
 
how good the 6x6 might be, i will not even care the onlu thing the cubing community needs is a 6x6 that doesnt need modding and if this 6x6 is as good as they claim it is then whe have one but the major thing whe want them for is competitions. and because it is pillowes it will ( probably ) be illegal in comp
