Re: Puzzle Cube USB
Beautiful!
If they made it out of machined aluminium rather than polished silver I think it could be pretty affordable. But it's still only appealing to a pretty niche market (ie. us).

Re: Puzzle Cube USB
How about this?
I have far too much time on my hands apparently.

Re: Puzzle Cube USB
My favorite part of the original cube is the serial number. Do they really expect to sell enough to utilize all four digits!?

Re: Puzzle Cube USB
Where they list the price, they state that it IS all aluminum...so almost $11k for an aluminum puzzle? Really?Paradox wrote:Beautiful!

Re: Puzzle Cube USB
I think that it's a six-piece cube. Five of those pieces are only puzzle pieces and are made from polished silver. The other piece contains the USB and is made from aluminium.DatabaseMonkey wrote:Where they list the price, they state that it IS all aluminum...so almost $11k for an aluminum puzzle?

Either way it's a ridiculous price for what it is! That's even more than most of GarE Maxton's creations!!!

Clearly Wil is undercharging and doesn't know his market well enough!

Re: Puzzle Cube USB
GarE's stuff actually uses metals with some value (sometimes), no less. I had to read the website that the article linked to (because the wording is questionable), but in that it states that they produce the puzzle from a solid block of aluminum...making this even LESS worth what they want for it. (Their stated reasons for the existance of this thing also come off at pretensious, but that's a different issue all together).Paradox wrote:I think that it's a six-piece cube.

I would love to see GarE create a puzzle with a USB in the center, be interesting to see his price
