GuanLong Repackaged as... The Cube

[DGCubes]

So... apparently they now also sell "The Cuby" and "The Cubinati."
Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Cube-Precisel...=UTF8&qid=1461789281&sr=8-1&keywords=the+cube
If you change the color (lol) it changes to a 2x2 and Pyraminx. I wonder if these are actual new designs or if it's just another repackaging. They look pretty bad though. The Cuby doesn't even have the standard color scheme.

Oh gosh no.

Welp, time for some more investigation. Someone buy these and compare the mechanisms. THEN we can boycott this company.

Actually, scratch that. Boycott them now. They literally say it's a MoYu Pyraminx. Hang on a sec.

Alright, nothing about the 2x2, but I like how they feel the need to say the cube is non toxic.

That picture looks nothing like a MoYu Pyraminx. It's not even florian modded at all, and the stickers definitely aren't MoYu, unless it's just a 3D rendering of it. That'd be a new level of bad; a repackaging of a cube that's not even what they advertise it to be... maybe those pictures just aren't actually it.

Maybe someone should buy these then... Just to check.

There is a 'money back guarantee' if anyone wants to investigate, and this whole thing is overall not a huge deal, it provides to people that have no experience with cubes other than Rubik's brand, and seeing all these Chinese names could be intimidating to some, not having a clue as to what their really getting in the product

Oh gosh thats just too funny. Cubinati, really?

 

[DeeDubb]

Well, it looks like the company has a successful business model. It's a real shame. I definitely tried to make an impact, but it's another example of people finding a way to make money off of nothing more than good branding and cheap Chinese labor (the irony is not lost on me, as I sit at my computer wearing a Nike windbreaker).

Yes. Please do this.

So... in a sense, it's a premium moyu pyraminx?

I don't think it is its just a re brand.
