10% off a V-Cube is still like -25% off of any other (superior) cube...

Maybe, but only to buy more cubes to "lubricate" with ketchup and other wonderful condiments.

You should see the video of us "lubing" it with ketchup. It's the MD meetup

They should sell SS 5-7 for my V 5-7. According to price, they get the better end of that deal.
I would also review the transaction, and since they need positive reviews, it would be an anniversary gift from customer to company.

This is for everyone that is posting alternatives.
V-Cube did make a big impact on the cubing world with the whole big cube thing. They made some of the best cubes out there, and they still do. I think that everyone that doesn't already have a V-Cube should get one for collection and speedcubing purposes.
That is all,
Thank-you for reading.

lol I almost forgot V-cubes actually produced a 3x3 until this thread came up. They're almost obsolete in the speedcubing community now.

I disagree. If I went to do some bigcubes (5+) one day and all my cubes were gone, I would but another set of V-cubes without question. I also know of some others who would do this. I do agree that their 2x2/3x3 arent very good, but I still think they're bigcubes are better than SS ones. Paartly because I prefer the feel of them, but mostly because I feel thay have better quality of plastic and last longer than SS cubes (I know many people who have broken parts on their SS cubes, but no-one who's broken a V-cube part)

I bought a V7, but after I tried a SS7 and SS5 I wished I hadn't. The V7 is collecting dust. I doubt that I'll buy anything else from them as the V7 was expensive and inferior.
And I read their patent; as far as stopping competitors it's only going to be useful if the competitor directly copies their design. My analysis of their patent is that it does not apply to the Shengshou 5x5 or 7x7 cubes I own. Of course judges and juries can differ, but it's a pretty simple patent; it does not cover designs that rely on extensive cylindrical surfaces such as the SS 5 and 7 that I own. I imagine that their attorneys told them something similar and that's why they haven't filed suit against their competitors.

V-Cubes came out the blocks with some great products (V5 and V7) that people really loved. But Since then, they've fallen from grace. But having said that, with some new and improved products they can come back strong.
It would not cost them much at all to sell a V6 with a full "memyselfandpi" or "pi" mod done to it when you brought a V6 from them.
And hearing that the WCA may make the V7 illegal in competition someday soon, they should put out a cubic V7.
Or even a good V9 as the mass market one now available is not very good.
As you can see, V-Cubes can come back strong, but do they believe it themselves?
I have brought many V-Cube products. They are:
White V7
Black V6
White V5
White V2a
Black V2a
White V2b
Black V3a
White V3b
I do support V-Cubes!
