Moyu Weilong v3? Moyu AoLong

[Michael Womack]

Moyu just needs to stop. Their cubes are good, but they shouldn't be making this many in such a short period of time... :|

I agree and get on with the cubes that we really want like the 5x5-7x7, Pyraminx, Megaminx, and Skewb

I just don't get this. "Stop giving us what we want" I agree about making other cubes like the 5x5 but they are and will be out soon. No one is being forced to buy the new cubes, but they are available if you do want to. If the cubes were lousy, that would be one thing, but they are all so far great cubes, so I see no reason why they should stop producing so many. If the demand is there, keep em coming!

Also look at this currently on the market there are so many good 3x3 out there that we can pick from like the Weilong, Weilong v2, Fangshi, Liying, Daima, Cyclone boys, CX3, SS wind, SS aroura, Dayan Zhanchi, Gans3, and more that are the Current good cubes like the GO TO 3x3s to pick from.

I completely understand this but I don't get why that should mean that cube companies stop producing cubes, it'd be like saying "Hey Warner Bros, stop making movies, we already have enough to choose from" Not every cube fits every cuber's style and the more options the better in my opinion.

I'm not saying that they should stop completely they should slow down.

The Dianma wasn't good.

But why? If they were rushing production and quality suffered, I would 100% agree with you, but this has not been the case yet. If they have a quality product to deliver why would anyone want to have them delay the release date just to spread them out? I would think it would be better to have them come out all at once or in a short span so that you can place a large order from a cube shop and just pay shipping once (assuming you were interested in buying them all).

Well it's like every few weeks there is a new Moyu 3x3. Just look at the time between some of the Dayan cube and the SS cubes. It's not like Dayan or SS is making a new cube ever few weeks.

Everyone has their own opinion, and reviews were certainly mixed... but I think the consensus seems to be that it is actually a good cube, fun and different, but not the best, and almost no one's main.

I think sk8erman41 hits the nail on the head with this Warner Brother's/movie analogy. If you don't want to buy new cubes, then don't. And if you're overwhelmed by the variety of new cubes available these days, sorry for your troubles, but these companies can basically do whatever they want.

I think it's awesome that companies choose to improve what they've done rather than settle with what they've got. The evolution of cube designs is really interesting to me and I'm excited to see it happening. Even if this particular example appears mostly to be a culmination of many past designs... to the point where even Chinese patents are being infringed upon. Oh, the irony.

Woah guys bad news check this out: http://bbs.mf8-china.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=101954&mobile=yes

It seems like Moyu's recalling stocks of the AoLong due to copyright infringement. They apparently copied Dayan's inner-circle design. The link above links to the mf8 forums with the post by Dayan himself claiming copyright infringement, for those who can read Chinese. I guess people should order ASAP if they want the puzzle, else it's gonna be quite a wait before a revised edition comes out...

Dayan claims copyright infringement over this?

But for the fangcun, a complete knockoff of the zhanchi, did he do anything about this?

Here is my unboxing on the Moyu Aolong! It's a great cube, I love it!

He says it in the first 30 seconds of his video.

I don't understand why Dayan wants moyu to recall all their cubes because of copying a inner-circle design yet when brands like funcun copy the entire design of the zhanchi day an doesn't care.

"Demon third-order cube is proud dragon has moved to the Recycle Bin piracy geese third-order

I'm guessing "geese third order" is the Lunhui. The AoLong internals do look inspired by the Lunhui.

Because Moyu is the biggest cubing company, and they are taking much more business away from Dayan than funcun is.

Are you sure they don't care? The Fangcun isn't on sale many places. That could be a reason for Dayan not to care, but on the other hand it could be because Dayan already intervened.

Futile

It doesn't really matter either way; they're just pushing water uphill with a rake. As long as the WeiLong exists, Dayan will find it all but impossible to regain the title of the number one cube company. This is not to say that there's anything wrong with ZhanChis. I love ZhanChis, but the momentum of the crowd is against them, and it's very hard to steer the zeitgeist.

Great video! Now I'm really glad I pre-ordered it

I expect their motivation is money not glory. Mr Bao and his employees probably have families to feed.
