A little different from the Megaminx
This puzzle is very beautiful and quite interesting. The moves are the same of Megaminx. However in the Megaminx the positions of the centers do not matter and the positions of the corners matter. In the Soccer Megaminx the positions of the centers matter and the positions of the corners do not.

Not a speed cube!
Got this for my son who is into rubix he has 3*3 4*4 6*6 and what not. This ia the one he pretty much wanted so . Well its built well but is smaller than expected. I think that wont be bad as it might be a perfect fit for his tiny hands. I have tried solving it on my own but I am disappointed as it's not really a speed cube. I was expecting a speed cube for the price it is offered. Let's see how my son deals with it but he was happy to have his hands on it.Overall a fun rubix!

Tricky
This cube is a lot of fun. My kids and I are all competitive speed cubers, but we must admit that this cube has been giving us issues. We got off to a good start but have yet to finish the top half. We will figure it out eventually, but for now we are struggling. The cube is a good quality that it's definitely sturdy and well designed. I would say it's a good value for its money also. I don't think the cube is specifically designed for speed as much as it is for difficulty. I would not recommend this cube for somebody who is new to solving, but is a great challenge for somebody with experience.

OMG what a challenge!
This is a puzzle that I've never seen before. I love the megaminx and this is obviously a creative variation on that puzzle so I had to snatch it up. It's doable if you can solve a megaminx and have a good imagination. It's very addictive and I can't believe I spent a couple hours trying to figure this out. It really adds a few twists (pun not originally intended but I'll leave it in). First of all, the quality is fantastic. It's not a speed cube however, there are no ridges for gripping, nor corner cutting features, but it turns very smoothly and it had some lube from the factory. It does require the pieces to be lined up pretty well before turning, but with patience it works great. What makes this harder than the megaminx is that the orientation of the pentagonal center pieces matters The colors surrounding the solid centers are attached so you have to match them up with the edge pieces correctly right from the start. Another thing to consider is that the edge pieces are rotated 90 degrees if you're comparing to the original megaminx mechanism, and the small triangular centers actually correspond to where the corner pieces of the megaminx are connected internally. This is a very ingenious variation and I love it. Thank you so much for the cool addition to my twisty puzzle collection.

Fun puzzle, too expensive
The Yuxin soccer ball is a great puzzle. It turns well and is a fun, challenging solve. It's well made and a great size. Just feels like it should cost less and, for that reason, I've knocked off a star.

Great gift for a cuber
We got this unique cube for a friends birthday party. He is really into speed cubes and was super excited by this one. It has unique movements and we are pretty sure he is going to be stumped for a while. It has 32 sides and so far he hasn’t solved it, it’s been a week. We twisted it a bit at the party and it does have pretty good rotation and movement. He is excited to learn new algorithms

Very unique design
I've not seen a puzzle in this configuration before. I've been playing with it for the past few days. It's pretty easy to not get the parts lined up. This can cause the next turn to not want to move until you go back and line up the last move. With this many independent rotations (12), it takes a bit more effort to mix it up.I'm still coming up with a method to solve this. I'm feeling like I have to think one more move ahead than usual, since the middle moves with even turn. I'm finding, at least in the beginning, that putting the middle in last works better for me.
