MoYu Meilong 3x3x3 + Robot

MoYu MeiLong 3x3x3 + Robot

This set includes two things. The first is the MoYu MeiLong 3x3x3 cube in the stickerless bright colour scheme, an affordable speedcube you can learn to solve on. The second is a robot figure that works as a box and stand for the cube. This makes the set a great gift, especially for a child or someone who is just starting to solve the 3x3 cube.

How the MeiLong 3x3 turns

MeiLong is MoYu's more affordable series, designed for beginners and casual solvers. Users and reviewers point out that the cube turns smoothly and has a stable mechanism that handles faster solving well. That's a lot for a cube in this price range. It's more than enough for learning the layer-by-layer method and your first CFOP algorithms.

It is not a flagship cube, though. Corner cutting, finish and adjustment options are more modest than in MoYu's more expensive models, such as the WeiLong series. For a beginner, these differences usually don't matter. They only start to count once you train regularly for time.

The cube is stickerless, which means the colours are in the plastic itself. There are no stickers that could wear off or peel over time.

The robot in the set

The robot is a display box. You put the cube inside, and the whole thing can stand on your desk or shelf. It has no effect on the solving itself. Good to know before you buy: it's a figure and packaging, not a robot that solves the cube by itself.

Who is it for?

This set makes the most sense as a first cube, given in a more interesting form than a regular box. It also works as a desk gadget for anyone who likes cube-themed accessories. If you only care about the cube and the gift presentation doesn't matter, the MeiLong 3x3 on its own is enough. If you already solve regularly and want to improve your times, you should rather go for a more advanced cube with tension and compression adjustment.
