    I am perfectly fine with it.
    I think it's aimed at people buying in a physical store, and they place it next to the Rubik's brand cube. Here in the Netherlands it's one Euro cheaper than the Rubik's, so priced competitively.
    It's a good cube, very simple and straight forward, no difficult settings with tensioning, no lube and it has writing in local language on it.
    Still cheap, although the original maybe three times cheaper, and the store owner probably makes a decent margin on this.
    I would recommend this to parents etc, because it's easy to explain to, I mean I get lost in online cube shops, Moyu alone brought 23 cubes to the market this year 😵‍💫

    As someone who only got in to cubing by seeing a cube for sale while out running errands. More cubes getting in to people’s hands is always a good thing.

    I stumbled across this cube as well in stores (france), and tbh I think it's great to have something as good and cheap as a meilong IRL stores !
    I know people not really into online purchasing, so it's kinda welcome. Maybe even as a family gift or something.
    And for about 10$, it's still half the price of a regular rubik's cube or V-Cubes, while being objectively a better option.
    Moyu is definetly stepping on new territory, but if it works, rubik will have a solid contender to deal with in the coming years. We'll see.
    In the end, I'll never mind a good speedcube in stores shelves, as long as it remains competitive money-wise.

    I don't know why everyone is hating on these cubes. I've had mine for over a year now and am totally happy with them. I bought them at Walmart and paid $8 for the 3x3 and $4 for the 2x2. I like the convenience of availability locally and getting an OK cube at an OK price. If they stocked an magnetic model, I would not hesitate to get it.

    At the end of the day you're just paying slightly more for a different logo on the meilong. And that's fine with me because I personally find it more aesthetically pleasing than the Moyu logo.

    If the price is reasonable for the product you are getting, I'd say it's kinda ok. Having a cheaper alternative to the more expensive Rubik's Cube is also not a bad thing. I'd still prefer sellers to be upfront about what exactly they are selling unlike Tony.

    These have been showing up in the uk Big Box stores recently when all you have on offer is Rubik brand so I can see the allure for noobs looking at a “speed cube”.

    It's fine as long as they're honest about it and the price is reasonable.
    However if you look at reviews this wouldn't be a problem. It would only affect unwitting customers, but if the price and quality are right the dishonesty wouldn't really matter, but then if this is the case there's no need to be dishonest.

  • @StormRaid417

    I love how you solve with a slow tps and still get a good time. It shows that you don't have to turn fast to be fast. I see 30+ second solvers turning so fast and aggressive all the time when it's absolutely unnecessary. I will admit that I still turn fast even with a 18 second solve, but I know why, and that's because of inefficient F2L. I get around 15-second solves when my F2L does work out well. If I can manage to get cross and F2L done in 10 seconds, I'll be pretty satisfied. I will try this cube out today.

  • @Johan_4587
    @Johan_4587 6 месяцев назад +1

    I got one at Walmart because I was bored and felt like taking apart a cube and just having one that I could use to solve underwater as a neat trick to show everyone. I opened it and realized it was actually quite better than I expected. I compared it to my MagLev Weilong GTS WRM and the RS3M and for $5 it actually kinda compared. Of course it didn’t have MagLev or any other kind of magnets, but it still performed quite well. I didn’t notice this before but seeing it was a Moyu Cube just clicked in my head. I think it’s a great option for up and coming speed cubers when they’re walking about Walmart or any store they go to. I’ve been in love with YJ/Moyu ever since my first ever cube being a YJ Sulong, and I just love seeing the brand or even the name at a huge market chain like Walmart.

    Moyu is trying to drive other makers out of business by flooding the market with very similar products, slightly changed products, repackaged old products, and products that are not exactly innovative or fantastic but fresh and hyped.

    Goliath Games is the toy company repackaging these Meilongs as NexCubes.
    I don't see anything wrong with that, since they do say Moyu on the package.
    What's making these so popular is because they're in so many brick and mortar retail stores now, like Walmart, Target, Meyer, and more, so they're spreading to the general non-cubing public. So that's a good thing.
