A few posts ago I talked about the leaking of the V-Cube 3<\/a>. The primary issue we all saw in the leak is that it was pillowed, meaning that it was not competition legal. The lesson I learned today is not to base all expectation off of just one<\/em> leaked image. Today the V-Cube 3 was officially\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0and there’s good news, there is a non-pillowed version too!\u00a0They’re calling it the “flat version” and it looks like it’ll be competition legal. No specifications on dimensions yet but in images where it is pictured with the V-Cube 2, it looks like it is of average 3×3 size.<\/p>\n

\n

Furthermore Verdes<\/em> is providing a DIY version of the V-Cube 3<\/a> flat and pillowed versions, this is great news for a few reasons: For one, the kit comes with two sets of stickers,\u00a0three sets of springs, and two cores<\/strong>. Not only is that a great package, for any DIY, but the fact that they’re providing extra cores, could imply that they might open up a greater DIY line? DIY’s have almost always only ever come in the form of 3×3’s. Some people specifically mod the V-Cube 5 so that it has a DIY core<\/a>, it would be very advantageous to Verdes<\/em> if they simply supply a DIY version of the V-Cube 5.<\/p>\n

I’m excited to see how it is; in white and black pillowed and flat, the preassembled is \u20ac15 and the DIY is\u00a0\u20ac14 (with shipping one cube is ~$35 USD). \u00a0I ordered a black preassembled one mere moments ago (I’m assuming the preassembled is also adjustable) so expect a video review soon. Now when is the V-Cube 4 coming out?!<\/p>\n
