Smaller V-Cubes

[yboy403]

This is a sequel to the thread "Bigger V-Cubes". Check that one out too. anyway, would you buy a smaller V-Cube (2, 3 or 4) if Verdes ever releases them (as he's planning to)? Vote in the poll and comment.

They would probably be very expensive and I can't see his mechanism improving on our current cubes in a way that would justify the price.

They would also be un-adjustable, which kills it completely for me.

 

[Daniel Wu]

I would buy them all (if they were reasonably priced) just to have 2x2 through 7x7.

 

[Applemoes]

That depends totally on the price. I can get a Lanlan 2x2 (which is said to be one of the best) for under 3 dollars.

Don't get angry if they really aren't that good. I'm new to the cubingworld and all the different brands. I'll take any lecture or advice on cubes to get!

Do tell.

Of course I would buy them all, although I might not use them all.

Yes, I thought of that. Besides, why can't they be adjustable? anyway, I'm sure he realizes that too, and is planning to sell them one of three ways:
1) Using the V-Cubes brand name and reputation for quality (at least from what I've heard)
2) By making some improvement to the existing mechanism
3) By designing some new mechanism, making his cubes pop less or turn smoother or both
4) By introducing the appeal of "collecting" V-Cubes 2-11 (when the 8-11 come out)
Can anybody think of any more ways he can sell 3x3 cubes to people who have been using other brands for years?

I see people wanting the whole set, honestly. I'm kind of already building up a little shelf of cubes that all my bad cubes will be on "display" while all my good ones will be laying around in a desk drawer or possibly on another shelf or something. Good examples of this are the storebought Rubik's brands 2x2x2-5x5x5. Put them on a shelf and use something actually solveable to speedsolve

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

Undecided. gotta wait on the price. lets hope its not 49 euros like the 3 colored 7x7

 

[Diniz]

I would buy them all and probably not use them lol (maybe the 4x4, idk)

 

[Truncator]

Yes, definitely.

I want a V-Cube 4 really badly, actually

They would also be un-adjustable

Well, their large cubes are unadjustable because they need to be precise (this is what Verdes told me) and Verdes thinks we're too stupid to do it right (this I've read between the lines). Maybe the smaller cubes are simple enough so they think we can handle them.

4x4 is the most feasible for people to buy simply because some people love the YJ(aka V-cube KO) and it would more than likely have a far more refined mechanism. I think part of the reason V-cubes hasn't released all the new cubes is because of all the modding on the V6. With that many people making such a simple modification to improve the qualities of cubes I think Verdes has been retooling his mechanism in order make the cubes more satisfactory. Needless to say there will always be someone complaining about an aspect or coming up with a decent mod, but it will be far less than what has come from the V6.

I've heard the inner layers on a YJ 4x4x4 are balls. Ntx.

 

[Muesli]

I've heard the inner layers on a YJ 4x4x4 are balls. Ntx.

They are really, really bad. If I happen to choose the axis that gets the internal lockups to do OLL parity on it can take me 20< seconds.

 

[DaBear]

hence why i said a far more refined mechanism.....YJ does cheap KOs to make quick cash, they dont actually care about the quality other than that it works

I did find Musli4brekkies' comment interesting. On what is he basing the fact that he thinks the V3 would be un-adjustable?
No other brand of any other sized cube is adjustable, as far as I am aware, so why should the bigger V-cubes be adjustable? This certainly does not mean the 3x3 wouldn't be.

Eastsheen 5x5 (and 4x4 for that matter)?

 

[Edmund]

Probs all but I just put down 2x2 cause that's a def.

 

[DaBear]

ES 5x5 and mefferts 5x5 are....idk about the 4x4s but i think you can adjust the mefferts 4x4 and maybe the qj(idk though)
