New Deal Extreme Floppy Cube

[anythingtwisty]

The Joker: 3x3 DIY kits are not KOs, because the patent on the original Rubik's cube has expired. The white floppy IS a KO because Gentosha recently patented it.

thanks anythingtwisty for the headsup...

so it is just the patent, since it is expired, it is not a copy anymore... make sense...

so i will wait for the GENTOSHA's patent to be expired then, then i will buy a copy of it. because i hate to support criminals. okay...

thanks a lot... hehehhehehe...

If you thought $4.99 was too steep, how about $3.76? Yes, you read that correctly, $3.76. You can now have a black or white criminal supporting Floppy Cube for less than $4.

You would be great in the advertising business

The fact that you lot are buying knock-offs might dissuade Takao Hashimoto / Gentosha from releasing other new cubes in future, like for example a 2x2x3, 2x3x3 or a lattice cube. So in reality, you're ****ing yourselves over

Today's clones are not of bad quality, but you might ask your self if this is a fair product? Do the inventor get paid ? are the factory workers paid a normal salary? Legally we are not responsible to check if it is a clone product or produced where workers get paid or patents are violated, but morally we are responsible.

Dammit. Well, it's too late now, mine are already shipped.
Well, at least I'm supporting criminals with bigger amount of money, and that should be a good thing. :confused:

one question though... is TYPE A, B, C, D, E, F, Yuga, Dian-Sheng, Joy, Edison a original... or did all of them is a knock-off of RUBIK'S CUBE...???

is anybody here support the original RUBIK's brand or all of us use a different brand which is if the above question is true then we all support the criminals... like CUBE4YOU, DEALEXTREME...???

on topic... i like the white one hope it is a very good copy... hope anyone gave a review... thanks a lot...

I support original Rubik's stuff too. I have 4 Rubik's DIY's (one that I use as one of my main cube) and loads and loads of store boughts. I also have couple keychains, snakes and magic. Oh and 3* 4x4x4s too. Probably some other stuff too.
But I also want to try copies if there's a change they might improve my times. I'm a speedcuber after all.
