I lol'd at the results.
Dude, pretty much everyone wants them released. Even if someone isn't planning on buying them they still want them released just incase.

Not everyone wants them released. Some people just dont care about anything but 3x3 and 2x2.

Why is it that every time I read your posts I read it in the voice of an annoying 11-year old? The way you post just screams immaturity. You neither know the prices of the unreleased cubes, NOR the quality, NOR if they will be competition legal. Why did you even put these options in a poll that you shouldn't have even created? This thread isn't unique, this topic has been tirelessly discussed before. A poll with 9 or so options won't result in any helpful advice or information; it's a waste of a thread. (And it's VERDES not VERDE'S...learn how to use an apostrophe)

If people have to ask why you're still making threads, then your material isn't well thought out. The topic has already been discussed in detail in many different threads recently.
I didn't see one person actually bash you. People are telling you that your threads are pretty much just pointless and repetitive. That happens to be true. Also, don't call people that are more informed than you about a subject ignorant. It
Edit: It seems like you don't have any original ideas. Maybe when you think of one, people will be less likely to get upset at seeing threads with your name on them.

Yes, they should produce larger cubes if and only if there's a significant demand for them to justify a production run.
I honestly don't believe that there are enough competitors that would commit to purchasing larger cubes to justify the cost of a production run though. There's a mere 530 competitors that have competed in 7x7, compared to 11857 competitors that have competed in 3x3. Now consider that fact that over 350 million Rubik's Cubes have been sold, and add KOs/copies to that list.
There are other distribution channels to consider beside competitions. We do have a little bit of influence in that the use of such cubes in competitions provides free promotion, especially if there's media coverage. But if they're not being stocked in every toy store across the country then it's unlikely that someone will purchase it as a gift.
If you just simply want an 8x8 or 9x9 then you can make one yourself for a few thousand dollars.
If you want to compete with an 8x8 or 9x9 then consider the impact it will have on organisers. Similar discussions were had with 6x6 and 7x7 but it's painfully clear as to how many people practice 7x7 and are fast in competition. Such a low number would not justify a production run.
You could possibly take it one step further, contact Verdes, try to come up with a licensing agreement, and manufacturer some 8x8 and 9x9's yourself while paying Verdes a small portion if you honestly believe there's a significant demand for these puzzles. In all likelihood you'll be out a few thousand dollars while attempting this to say the least. So why would you wish this upon somebody else?
This thread was constructed with the view that you believed people hate you. I'd recommend just setting that aside, avoid conflict, and spend more time constructing your questions so that it's easier for others to give a concise answer. People will stop flaming/trolling you if you do the same and treat others with respect. And even if they don't, not responding to their post directly will make it easier for moderators to clean up the forum.

My problem with this thread is that the question in the Title is completely different to the question in the poll. There is a good chance nobody would bother reading the poll header, so the Yes/No answers really have to be disregarded.

7x7 is big enough, but Vcubes is so far behind the rest of the competition in smaller cubes.

Who's Verde's?

Hmmm, it depends. I'd like to say i won't solve it. but, yeah, they would look cool 
The only thing about it that i would complain (if i buy it) is that modding is going to be really difficult
lol @ title: Verde's

Apologies for not noticing that they'd competed in 6x6 and 7x7 but if someone can't take the context of the question into consideration and infer that they're talking about Verdes Innovations S.A. then they shouldn't reply.
In any case, it'd be more effective to simply address the OP and openly question the ambiguity.
For example:
Are you referring to Verdes Innovations S.A.?
... instead of "Who's verde's?", "What do you mean by larger cubes? Like, giant Tony Fisher 2x2 large?" ... herp derp
kthnx,
Tim.
