Oh my God, Is Mefferts releasing a 6x6x6 or even a 7x7x7, how come nobody's reacting?

Is this forreal? Are we going to at last have the so long waited for 6x6x6 and 7x7x7? How come Mefferts is releasing it? I thought some greek dudes were developping it? Have they sold the patent, have they simply got Mefferts to launch it? Or has Mefferts gone and made his own 6x6x6 and 7x7x7?
Aren't you folks wetting your pants in excitement???

I'm spazzing myself.

And did you really need to make another topic?

...i actually kinda hated my 5x5 its too big and bulky and hard to turn - i never solve it anymore... I imagine 6x6 or 7x7 cant be too much better.. .but thats just from my experience

After hearing that Olympic Cubes have been saying they were going to make big cubes available like forever, and yet they haven't done it, I find it hard to get my hopes up about anyone saying they are going to do it. I'll save my excitement for when they are actually available and affordable.

"$60 is way too much."

Wow, the reaction is quite different here than at twistypuzzles.com...

Edit: I exaggerated those "quotes" a bit, but still, the difference between collectors and speedcubers is obviously quite big.

I didn't really mean it that way, as in exasperation.

I know what you're saying. However, if you look, only a tiny portion of the people on this forum replied, many of them being quite new to the forum. So it is tough to make that judgment.

At least, if you had seen the enthousiasm of speedcubers at the world07 when they discover the 6x6 and the 7x7 (rubik's ones), you would not say that

Yup, and on Twistypuzzles there have been many threads and hundreds of posts about Olympicubes.

It seems that Meffert's is using some other mechanism than OC: http://twistypuzzles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8118.
