Shengshou 6x6?

I've had my ss 6x6 for a while, and I'm starting to think it's not as amazing as people think it is. It's really kind of slow, and pops just as much as a v-6, if not more. Of course, the good thing about it is that it has absolutely no clicking mechanism, and it never misaligns, but I'll definitely be buying the dayan 6x6 when it comes out.
 
Update on stores who have them:

51morefun:

Black - $29.99
White - $29.99

At the moment, you can buy them but the paying process and shipping are handled very weird. You still get what you ordered, but it takes a long time for them to process.

iCubeMart:

Black/White - $31.75

Witeden:

Currently unavailable, I guess V-Cube took them down.

CubeDepot:

They will be in stock in a week or so, black and white. I'm guessing the price will be around $30-32.
 
I don't think that's how things work. It takes many more individual pieces to make the 6x6, and that means more plastic. That makes the cost of producing it greater. Stores wouldn't make profit if they were the same price.

The point is not the plastic... it's in the number of pieces that it takes.
You have to make lots of extra molds to make the aditional pieces so it requieres more work to make one.

It may get cheaper... but not that much.

Well, the point of my post was that production of the 6x6x6 costs more than the 5x5x5, so naturally, the 6x6x6 will cost more.
 
Am I the only one that thinks that it's wrong that I pre-ordered the SS 6x6 a month in advance and some how I still don't have it yet? In fact, people who ordered it from Icubemart have gotten it before me and Icubemart JUST stocked them maybe a week ago.
Wtf??

does your tracking # still say "departure from outward office of exchange" ? mine does, so i went ahead and ordered a black one from icubemart (and its nice). when my white one finally gets here, ill see if anyone wants to trade a unmodded v-cube 6 "white" for this black one, and if nobody wants to, ill put it in the lot of cubes i want to sell
 
To be fair, both my orders from them are still marked right now with "departure from outward office of exchange" and one of those has already been received, nearly a week ago. I think this may be the last notification the tracking has prior to receiving confirmation that it has been delivered.

@OP; Whilst I can appreciate it may be very frustrating and I would say I am still waiting for my SS 6x6. I wouldn't say its wrong those ordering from a company with no international delivery should get them prior to those order with international delivery. That is just a matter of logistics. Hopefully you will receive it soon enough

I ordered mine mid August and still haven't gotten mine on the site they should have stated that the 6x6 was not in stock. This is exactly the reason I try to deal with shops in the US. That being said, the store has done a good job of at least replying to emails and they did give me notice when mine finally shipped.

I ordered mine from iCubeMart (with a 4x4 and a 5x5) last Saturday and I'm still waiting for it :( . With almost 30$ of shipping I'm quite disappointed. Anyway I hope it will arrive before this weekend !
 
Anybody ordering from 51morefun, I've been told that the free shipping option takes between 7 and 21 calendar days after it is shipped. If you've been waiting for longer than that, you should contact the site owner. I received my cube in 19 days after shipping. I am very pleased with my experience with the site, and the site owner. He answered any question I had. If 7-21 days is too long for you, go with another shipping option. Don't let the free shipping method be the reason you don't order from the site again. The faster shipping option isn't that much more. I can understand why people waiting over a month could be frustrated, but I had a similar experience with lightake. I waited 42 days after processing and shipping to get my order from there. The only difference is that I can't choose another shipping option.

Anyway, my Shengshou 6x6x6 arrived yesterday, with many other cubes. It came packaged with styrofoam. It was quite weird, but all my cubes arrived safe. I'm sure you could have dropped it off the third floor of a building, and all the cubes would have been fine. As far as the 6x6x6 goes, I really like it. It's definitely great for a first 6x6x6, but it still would need some work before it could be an expert cuber's main 6x6x6. Also, the stickers are AWESOME. The fluorescent colours are very easy to distinguish. I may buy z stickers in the future for replacements.
