‎MoYu‬ HuaChuang 5x5x5 Will be Available on January 2nd, 2015

you know they only have 1 and occasionally 2 iPhones a year right? Samsung, HTC, Nokia and Sony sometimes make more than 10 a year.

It's just a silly analogy about moyu releases. Not who releases more of what.

As i said on facebook asswell, long amd thin pieces result in unstabillity and breaking pieces...

Retail price for it on the Cubicle is 38 usd...!

That's as much as the Aofu on C4S.

Yeah, I hope it'll be a bit cheaper somewhere.

OK, I just read the mofangluntan post, here's a quick summary:
Like a few people already said, hua chuang 华创 means Chinese Create (Creation).
Main improvement: No holes on surfaces that contact each other (may be empty inside pieces, but no holes on outside of the pieces). Patented for 4x4 to 7x7 by MoYu.
The puzzle is meant to be the absolute best, not cheap. The rest of the post is about signing up to be a tester.

That's an improvement, but I'm surprised they didn't call out the extra inner ring as the main improvement. It's very much more pronounced than the AoChuang, which will hopefully make it much less prone to popping.

Zcube.hk has plenty of good photos.

Those larger rings kinda reminds me of what they did on the 13x13. Which reminded me of a Rubik's 5x5.

My Moyu fanboy-dome practically demands that I'll get this cube eventually. Luckily Christmas left a big enough hole in my wallet that I'll have to wait and see the reviews first.

Looks like Feliks has put out a review of it

There's already a 'review' of it on thecubicle.us... And most of it is just comments on how it may perform.

I wonder if the cubicle staff even look through the submitted reviews before approving them.



Also... MOYU MAKE THE HUASHI NOW

Based on the 13x13 reviews, I don't think they do.

After watching Feliks review I don't see any huge improvements of the cube. More stability but with more catches.

Do you have an AoChuang? Do you get the kind of horrendous lockups that Feliks showed, where center pieces swap places, or even swap sides? I get those regularly, and if they don't happen on the HuaChuang, which is what Feliks says, I'd say that's a huge improvement.

I very rarely pop or lock up on my AoChuang in practice but apparently comp conditions result in loads of issues for me so far. I'm looking forward to using a fully broken in HuaChuang now especially considering how much my AoChuang has changed.

I dislike 3x3 stage on the Aochuang, way too locky for my tastes. Seeing as this one is even worse at that stage I'm gonna give this one a miss.

Did you try any other AoChuangs at UK Champs? I put a lot of solves and 15 weight shock oil into mine and it feels completely different to out of the box.

 

[PeelingStickers]

I got one for xmas

after about 500 solves it's ok, tried all sorts of lube but the outer layers just seem awkward to grip compared to a shengshou. Similiar to 3x3 stage on a 6x6 but not that extreme.

I wish someone would make a 5x5 with extended outer layers similiar to a 7x7+ puzzle. Even though it's not necessary gripping would be really good on it.

If this cube doesn't lock up horribly like every other 5x5 in existence, that is more than enough for me

If I didn't already have an Aochuang I would probably get this as well, but I'm contempt with my 5x5 and can't spare another 40 bucks for a cube that will perform so closely

Cubicle plans to start shipping black tomorrow ps!
