this is the best video of the exoy which still looks considerably inferior to the prototype of hypercube Whilst it does look impressive, it doesn't look impressive in comparison to hypercube, which seems to have more LEDs and more colours and better patterns. There aren't many videos, and those that are there *appear* to have less colours and complex patterns compared to the hypercube although it's hard to tell with limited videos (the lack of videos in itself is a worry, as you would think they would blitz their SM pages with videos of something that is both impressive and highly visual). People have talked about alternatives - I found this for less than £300 but I'm unconvinced. Considering it's a party piece and no-one honours the 'no drinks near the DJ equipment' rule, is it a case of it being a delicate glass/mirror style thing that could crack easily the moment a drunken reveller gets close to it and pokes it about? £700+ for a gimmick is one thing but for something that is prone to shattering on third use it is not really feasible I'm also worried about how fragile it is. There seems to be a disconnect between experiences reported on a 3rd party platform and the perfect reviews on theirs I'm troubled by how the website under their control has 51x 100% five star reviews but comments on indiegogo are critical of delays, poor communication, failed deadlines and defective products. I was looking at it TWO years ago and it looks like they're just shipping batch 2 now, and a number of products seem to be defective on arrival It is very expensive - $775 delivered (inc stand) to UK plus import fees (someone from the indiegogo campaign paid £105 and that was for a cheaper priced item, so I'm expecting £600 + ~120 fees) Would love to hear from people with experience. I'm looking at it again and trying to decide whether it's worth it. Ever since first seeing the hypercube video, it stole my heart and it has been top of my waitlist for when I am feeling particularly flush and lavish
