I haven’t heard any rumors about a Zettaminx, but here it is!

ShengShou Zettaminx

Imagine a 13x13x13 puzzle with all of its intricacies and difficulties. Now what if that puzzle were not cubic, but dodecahedral and had 12 sides? Now we're talking about the ShengShou Zettaminx. With over 2500 individual pieces, this is going to be a challenge for anyone who tries to solve it!

why is Cubezz always cheaper? Is the markup at TheCubicle and SpeedCubeShop just that high?

Closer to actual manufacturers I guess.

additionally, Im pretty sure its not an official retailer for gan, shengso,... so if they sell it cheaper, they dont get in trouble

i'm pretty sure they buy straight from the manufacturer. how else did they get them so cheaply?

Significantly lower costs all around - they pay less to get the cubes to their warehouse, they pay their workers less to handle/ship them, and shipping for them is significantly lower than it is for US-based companies.

Saw this on HKnowstore.

Sengso, you are soooooo close to a stickerless Gigaminx. C'mon, you can do it!

The fact that it is rated 6+ make me wonder...

I had a dream of a flattened 2x2 in the shape of a 1x2x2. I'm pretty sure that's already a puzzle though.

when I was little, I had a dream that my iPad had not home button or forehead/chin. Look at where we are almost 10 years later

Where the heck are those 8x8 and 9x9 magnetic cubes from diansheng? Looking forward to those more than I have in a while. Guess they couldn't keep their September release date.

Been wondering the same thing myself!

is MagLev the new trend?
on approx Sep 25 SCS released a video with the title unique feature on the new MoYu cube. Does anyone who owns a MagLev cube think its actually good?

 

[Kaiju_cube]

I think the Maglev RS3M is fantastic. Very fast and smooth but doesn't feel uncontrollable.

I ordered two more for my boys and an maglev WRM for myself (purple internals look great).... still waiting for those to ship though.

Very interested in the Gan 12 maglev but I'm not paying $80. for a 3x3 cube.

I really hope the Diansheng are glossy plastic. For some reason everyone keeps making the 8's and 9's a matte finish,.. which throws off my collection. All these glossy cubes and then my 8's and 9's are matte and dull looking. .. it looks weird like how the V-Cubes are all pillowed but then you have a square 5x5 for some strange reason. It's visually irritating.

Qiyi is releasing a new 9x9 and I was pretty excited about it until 5 minutes ago when I realized it's another matte finish 9.

I already have Shengshou and Moyu matte finish 8 and 9's, I really want glossy ones.

...still annoyed all the moyo cubes are glossy, except 8 and 9. It just doesn't make any sense to me why their own lineup isn't consistent. Really screws with the OCD collector in me.

The MF8 has a glossy surface; presumably the MF9 does as well.

 

[Kaiju_cube]

you know it looks glossy in the sales pics...

but when I ordered the 8 and 9 what I got was matte...

then I ordered the Shengshou 8 Tank,.. and it was also matte.

I also have the stickered (rubiks lookings) shengshou up to 11, but they're stickered,.. and I have the V-Cube up to 9,..and they're consistent,.. (except the 5x5 is squared for some crazy reason.)

So for the sake of my OCD I need an 8 and 9 that are actually glossy for my stickerless collection.

The Diansheng 2x2 I ordered is glossy and is really good, it's actually probably my favorite 2x2, so I have high hopes that the Diansheng 8x8 and 9x9 are good cubes that are glossy.

I have no idea why Moyu Meilong line gave me 8x8 and 9x9 in a matte finish when all the other cubes of theirs I bought up to 12x12 are all shiny and glossy. I actually find it irritating, I don't like matte finish cubes. Even the 3x3 Gans I prefer the UV coating over the soft matte finish. I just don't really care for the feel. They feel like frosted glass or a chalkboard, it's not pleasant feeling to me.

It's one of the reasons I usually prefer a stickered cube.
