According to the WCA regulations rule 3h, if a cubic 7x7 is released, will everyone have to stop using the pillowed V7s?

I can't wait to see the first 8BLD.
Ickathu: Probably one of them would be banned.

Rule 3h doesn't say that pillowed cubes automatically become illegal as soon as a cubic version gets released. The WCA will have to make a decision about them, but if they happen to decide that being pillowed is part of the basic concept of the 7^3 cube, then V7s will still be OK.

Ron already said that once a cubic 7x7 is widely in use, pillowed will be illegal

They won't make it illegal as soon as a cubic 7x7 comes out because most people will still only have the pillowed one. Like TMOY said, it wouldn't become illegal until the cubic one is widely in use.

The only site that has it in stock right now is 51morefun.com. Is this a reliable site? I've heard good and bad. It's almost $100 and that's a big investment so I don't want to jump into it. The shipping is also anywhere from 1-2 weeks. In that time a site like cubedepot may have it stock. What is your experience with their reliability, customer service and shipping times?

You can pre-order it at Puzzle Addictions. They will receive the 8x8x's in a week or so.
About 51morefun; they are legit, but some items, that are low on stock, seem to take a while to ship. (When people first ordered the SS 6x6 from them, some people took months to get them.

From a quick scan of the thread some people seem to think that it's overpriced. Didn't the 9x9x9 KO come out at over $200?
I saw the price and was surprised at how low it was. Not particularly affordable but a good price IMO.

I would do puzzleaddictions but I want white plastic and for that much money for a single cube I'm not gonna settle.

I'm very interested in the ShengShou 8x8 cube but I'm going to wait to see if any other company announces an 8x8 in January 
. The price seems fair for so many moving parts.

I don't believe so. I ordered mine from lightake.com. it was something like $95 with the advanced shipping and a promo code I found online.

Knowing MY luck I would leave it on a skyscraper, it would fall and crack my skull open. And it would shove itself down my throat.
THIS IS NOT A TROLL, I'M SERIOUS!!!

i wonder what kind of mech it has. if it's anything like the ss 6x6 then it's not a v-cube KO. ss 6x6 uses a hybrid of the rubiks 5x5, v-cube, and x-cube mechanisms to hold itself together. this cube looks really cool and i want to get it really badly except for the fact that i don't have a job and there are like 2 other things i'm saving up for too.
