V-Cubes!

[RobinBloehm]

I wouldn't be too worried if I were you, they certainly will. (I only got the 7x7 myself. It's not only a question of money though, I also heard that the 6x6 is sort of crappy [some of my friends who tried it told me that].)

I'm not sure who I talked to about that, but the flat 6x6x6 they sell now is only very few millimetres away from being undoable in the flat shape, that's why the 7x7x7 has to be pillowed. The "6b)" the mention on their website should be much better cause it uses the same interior as the V7, only the pieces you see are different.

So they sell the flat 6a now, and when they sell 6b in the future, a lot of people will buy the pillowed 6b because it is better...good idea of Mr. Verdes

 

[Jacco]

I've ordered all 3 of them =D
From what I've tested I can say the 7x7 and 5x5 are amazing, the 6x6 is ok though.

 

[martijn_cube]

i've just ordered the 7x7. i really wander how it will be. i have to wait 2 weeks.

Robin, I really don't think that the 6B and 6A are different puzzles. They both have the same mechanism, as you can see by the patents. The reason for people saying the 6x6 isn't that great, is the fact that it has the same flaws as the ES mechanisms, internal pieces. The 7x7 is apparently perfect, because it is an expansion of their 5x5 design, where there's no internal pieces. I really don't see how the pillowed 6x6 will be better than the flat 6x6 when they have the same mechanism.

So, it seems from the pictures that the cubes have normal white-cube color schemes? Can someone give me a update on the schemes as soon as they get their cubes? It must suck to resticker the 7x7 :S

Well, you are right, I just looked at the patents closely, it says:

"We have already mentioned that the only difference between the two versions of the cube No6 is in their final shape."

are there even stickers available for the 7x7x7?

 

[Gprano]

Cubesmith will have them soon, they just wait their Vcubes to check their scheme is right.

 

[martijn_cube]

ok. nice. but it will be a pain to resticker them

 

[rachmaninovian]

do you guys think that the cubes would need lubrication? it'll be a pain to disassemble the cubes..

 

[e_lee6o4]

the only cube i bought was the 6x6x6. i hope it isnt tooo bad

 

[Jason Baum]

I sent an e-mail to v-cubes through the contanct form on their website asking if they could ship both of my orders together (I had two separate orders- the first one was the 6x6x6, and the second one was 5x5x5 and 7x7x7). Even though I paid two shipping orders, it would just be nice to get all of my cubes in one package. I got two e-mails back. Here is the first:

"sorry
that goes to someone else"

And the second:

"what all these that are you saying?
i send the e-mail to everyone
please recall what you said"

Umm... o_O

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH wow.... lmao

Ack, I have next to no money, and even if I did, I think it would be a struggle to persuade my parents that spending <£80 on "a couple of puzzles" is a wise investment. I suppose Gabbasoft will have to do for a bit longer, at least until a price drop or my parents see the light.

 

[pjk]

Nice, I plan on getting at least a 6x6 and 7x7. I wonder if the stickers are going to be good, long-lasting, or if they will be like the 3x3 Rubiks in stores.

Jason, that is weird you got that response. Email them again. You should be able to combine orders, and you should get reimbursed some money because you paid for it twice.

The V-cube stickers have a better quality than 3x3 Rubik's Brand stickers. Their quality is similar to Cubesmith stickers.

 

[brunson]

I'm a big fan of CubeSmith tiles for my 3x3's, but I wonder if they'd work on a pillowed cube. I'm thinking maybe not unless they were preshaped to conform to the curvature.

 

[pcharles93]

Do you think Cubesmith will start selling V-cube stickers? If I do get to buy one, I'm gonna try not to wear down the stickers. 216 stickers on 6x6 and 294 stickers on 7x7. Blehh. I might have to blow off school for a day to resticker one.

 

[watermelon]

Stickers for the new 5x5x5, 6x6x6, and 7x7x7 V-Cubes will be available in a few weeks.

Yes, I think Cubesmith will sell stickers for the V-Cubes.

Who said you had to do it in one sitting?
