What is the difference between these cubes and the ones being sold by Main Access?

From what I can tell, there isn't much. When I bought mine, it cost about $200, but I love it. In fact, even though I'm on a minimalist kick, I am planning on keeping this. I love the fact that it has Tiny House multiple uses, like a footstool, bench (yes, you can sit on it) or table. And the mood change is awesome. I love it.

Chris it appears that they are from different sellers. This probably accounts for the price difference.

I didn't realize there was a difference. I just ordered the same ones that came with the new aid's. I may try the closed next time if what the Pamela South answer says is true. Good luck! Rodney G.

I'd say it's just the box difference. I know it's stupid but it's true. Same goes for some import versions, price is higher and the only difference is also the box.

most likely the Acad is the Academic version and just like academic licenses for software, you get them cheaper than retail and its the same exact software, just at a student discount. However, you will need to be a student with proof to purchase from most sellers. I say most because legit places like Amazon will require it but a lot of sellers on ebay sell academic stuff to anyone. So basically, if you are a student get the Acad version because it will be the same and save you money.

When we were looking at buying we found the same thing. We ended up purchasing one piece at a time. I can't be certain but I don't think there is a difference, other than pricing.

They are the standard boxes as you buy anywhere else. There is no difference in them what so ever. It is just that 3 boxes are purchased/shipped at one time. And you are able to pay less when getting the 3 pack than you would for 3 off a store shelf. It is a win win for the purchaser. You can buy what the stores do not seem to be carrying any more and it is cheaper as well.

Absolutely, no comparison. Note; you must have a lighter touch compared to the original cube . Some say don't get this speedcube until your solve times are under 3 minutes, but I advise getting this cube even if you're a newbie. Using the original cube will help with control and build strength because it is so difficult to turn. There are some inferior knockoffs, but I ordered five of these cubes from Amazon and all were good. I haven't figured out how to recognize the Dayan's from the knockoffs, and maybe it is better to order from a specialty cube shop. Of course, the price might be considerably higher. I mostly agree with the other answers. Good luck Absolutely, no comparison. Note; you must have a lighter touch compared to the original cube .

I am not sure they sell them, it is cheaper to buy the whole thing. I have a new one that I never used, make me an offer.

When I bought the pack of 4 cubes, there was only this one seller. Can't remember who though.

Three is fine too begin with. Purchasing additional cubes is very expensive so it might work out cheaper to buy two starter packs for six cubes total

The cubes don't come with stands. I can't be sure but I think stands are one of the Rubik's trademark things. No other cube companies use stands.

From what I understand there is not a difference in the product, but rather a difference in the seller. Both are Xboom Mini Speakers with Rechargeable Batteries, however some sellers are having a deal reducing the price to anywhere between 14.99-17.99 (the few dollar difference is due to popularity in color), and areally also including prime shipping. Where the other sellers are not offering a deal and selling the product at its original price and charging shipping.

No, it comes with it's own cubes. No need to buy more unless you want an even larger set.

the difference is rights to selling your art. It is technically not legal to sell art from the student edition or to make a business of that art. The normal edition allows you to use your art for any financial means and anything you want. On every edition there is a series of a "code" attached to it (and the images), so one could find out what type of edition you used. So if you get the educational version and sell or make business off of it, you could possibly get caught.

no they are not. not only are the cube's blades smaller, but its a completely different architecture.sorry if this didn't help.
