I won't buy this. It looks (on paper) to be very good, but it will cost me big $$$. Which I can't afford.

I can hardly afford a 7x7... let alone 6x6, but I bought them... and now I'm broke D:

I'm doubtful whether or not a 15x15 would appeal to the masses, but a decent idea nonetheless.

really MoYu, calm down!
Why this 15x15? Who will buy this? Its no fun to solve and it just cost too much.
Making a 15x15 is just not necessary in any manner.
My oppinion....

There is clearly interest in the 13x13, and if they profit who cares? by that logic why is any cube larger than a 5x5 fun to solve. Is it not the same thing larger, why not go to the extreme?

Can't understand why Moyu can't make a 5x5 before all these massively big cubes. Most people would most like like a awesome 5x5 better than a big bulky and expensive 15x15.

But youre right, i shouldnt care....

This is only going to appeal to collectors..
I really struggle to see how Moyu will profit from this.

I think they are doing the right thing by seeing where the limit of profitability is on big cubes. Maybe they don't need a ton of buyers to make good money on these.

international shipping for that will be so expensive... also, someone will have to assemble and sticker it

Because whilst they'll sell it for $300 or whatever, it probably costs less than $50 to fully manufacture/assemble/sticker.
It's a very high profit margin, if they get 100 buyers thats $25000. (I may be underestimating their manufacturing costs, but the markup would be atleast $150 so they can make a fair amount of money with few sellers.)
Also they can release mediocre cubes like this before the 5x5, Pyra, Skewb etc because there is no competition so it doesn't need to be good. The Pyra/Skewb/5x5 will go through many models, this 13x13 will probably take LESS time to fully design even though it's more expensive.

Shipping would be "free" as if MoYu sells cubes, they would definitely have a postage deal where they pay "x" to post all year, and if they sell to Lightake or other companies postage within China is very cheap.
This is getting ridiculous. If they release the 13x13x13 first, nobody will buy this. Or I guess some people will wait for this and not buy the 13. But almost nobody will have the cash to buy both. I have a feeling nobody is patient enough to wait for this after their 13 comes out. This probably won't sell very well. Either way, I'm still waiting for a mass's produced 12x12. Geez, I'm gonna be broke by the end of 2014
