[Kevster270]

lol.
There are so many new puzzles on C4Y lately.
Petaminx is a bit pushing it, but at this rate, they'll have an Examinx out by the end of this year. :rolleyes:

The 3x3x6 and 3x3x7 sound awesome though. Excited to see them.

What is C4U thinking? I'm all for new puzzles, but C4U is losing the initiative.

 

[CitricAcid]

I won't be buying a big minx (exa, peta, tera)
Until they reach the last. I want to have the biggest possible.

 

[Kevster270]

lol head desk
either way, i think petaminx is a little much.. heck, the teraminx was already too much but it turned out wonderful even though andrew cormier/ whoever made the first one has to stop selling them even tho the quality of the originals is incredible. c4y has to stop sometime and leave some of the custom puzzles just that. custom puzzles not mass produced crap *coughgigaminxcough*

Indeed, it's much better for five people in the world to have to pay $2000 for a puzzle than for everyone to be able to get one for $100. oh wait, no it's not.

I know the designs for 3x3xN and *minx are relatively easy to model and mass-produce, but I'd prefer to see some totally new puzzles instead of just extensions of the old ones. It would be awesome for stuff like helicopter cube, master pyraminx, super-x, master skewb, etc. to be mass-produced, because those are really new puzzles compared to the normal fare - rather than just having to do one more domino or one more layer of centers and edges, you need a totally new method and there are totally new ideas to get used to. For those of us who've already played around with this stuff on computers it wouldn't be quite as exciting (well... I'd still love to have any of these in real life ), but if you've never seen one it's a great challenge to play with and a lot of fun too.

I want a mass produced 1x4x4 and 2x4x4. Who's with me?

 

[Meep]

The 3x3xN ones are just doing a crapload of dominos in a row ):

 

[Cyrus C.]

Are the 3x3xN's going to be cubic? If they're not I don't think they'll be very sturdy.

 

[kprox1994]

If I was traiphumi I would be mad.

See this thread for opinions (mostly negative) on this situation.

I agree. I'm not very thrilled about 3x3xNs or minxes, but I would buy any of the puzzles you mentioned in a heartbeat.
