That's what we first thought about the Illusion as well.

I was thinking it was a V-Cube Clock. But then I was like, "No, it couldn't."

just a cuber wins the ecookie!

I think the pillowed 3x3x3 from V cube is the winner! Good find on that! It makes sense really. V-cube had to make something a little different from everything else that's out there and I guess pillowed would do it.

Although, doesn't that mean you can't use it for competition? There was some discussion about as soon as a 7x7x7 came out that wasn't pillowed then you'd have to use that?

Sorry but I can't agree with that, there has been others 3x3 pillowed in the market for some time now.

I may or may not get it, but most likely not. Knowing V-Cube it won't be that great and will be expensive. I don't really understand why they didn't work more into the big cube market, I feel like they would have sold more cubes that way.

Not as soon as it comes out, as soon as it's widely in use

They definitely wouldn't have sold more cubes. A $20 3x3 with the novelty of being pillowed will sell thousands more than a cube that to most is enormous and far too expensive. A 7x7 costs ~$45 from their website. That means an 8x8 which has considerably more pieces and larger manufacturing and productions costs would be ridiculously expensive. More expensive than the SS I bet and it would be pillowed with a clicking mechanism.

i'd assume so, but i personnaly think there going to do the same thing that they did with the v2 with a cubic and pillowed version

I think it's safe to assume that there will also be a cubic version. The pillowed one was obviously a leak. A company like V-Cubes doesn't release a product before it's been announced. They would also put it on their website before one such as amazon. Or at least they'd go up at the same time. To have a pillowed and cubic version is a good idea but to have only a pillowed version is definitely a mistake.
