I really like gancube puzzles, and I am getting the Gan magnet box. However, gan don’t make many puzzles. (Just 4x4, 3x3, 2x2). In this thread, please put forward any information you know about new gan puzzles.
It is a package that combines the sticker less 356M, 251M and 460M for a better price.GAN also makes a Megaminx. And I am sure they will branch out in other events too. Also, what is the GAN magnet box?
It is that box. I’m sorry, I think I got my cube numbers mixed up.Is this a new one that's coming out? The current magnetic gift box has other cubes.

I would personally not invest in that one. The 460 is not a good puzzle, the 354 is getting old and the 249 is not that good either. You'd be better off getting the AoSu WRM, the GAN XS, and something like the Valk 2 LM.It is that box. I’m sorry, I think I got my cube numbers mixed up.
I don't see where your getting that sentiment. Most people understand that there are a number of perfectly viable brands but they still have a favorite feel that one brands specializes in.kinda saddens me that people think that gan is the only brand that is good. moyu, qiyi and yuxin are all amazing companies

the 354 isn't a bad cube it is a really good cube except its getting oldI would personally not invest in that one. The 460 is not a good puzzle, the 354 is getting old and the 249 is not that good either. You'd be better off getting the AoSu WRM, the GAN XS, and something like the Valk 2 LM.
The gts2m and Valk and SM are still great cubes despite being really oldthe 354 isn't a bad cube it is a really good cube except its getting old
Im gonna try one at a comp in Epping Vic and see if its worth buying. How much of an upgrade is it over the X?Lol, got my GAN XS two days ago and when i pick up my YJ MGC 2x2 its still heavier
Yup. Me too. A lot of my non-cuber friends think that Gan is the only good brand, and that my X is the best cube ever. I have to tell them that the current world record single was broken on a gts2m, and that its really a matter of opinion. I myself am slowly falling away from Gan, and am starting to wonder whether the WRM would be better for me, or the Valk. Also, I reckon the XS would suit me pretty good, cos the thing that I don't like much about the X is that its kinda slow, and M slices are sometimes sluggish. Not that it matters at my level, or at least to a degree, as I tried my friends Tengyun out and really liked how it performed, but when I went to do some timed solves I did pretty bad, around 3-4 seconds worse than normal, catching and overshooting heaps. I suppose that would change over time if I did, say, 300 solves on it. On that same topic, I fell my recently received YLM 3x3 corner cuts just about better than my X (except on reverse which the X excels on), which is amazing for a cube that is like 2 years old or something.I totally agree
The Aosu is awesome imoI don't recommend the Gan 460 - it is far too expensive for its performance. My friend has two that I am currently using and it is extremely sandy on both inner and outer layers. The inner layers feel extremely unstable and are almost unusable. The slice turns (turning just one of the inner layers) have a slight misaligning issue with the inner mechanism which causes the center to be offset after a slice turn and therefore catches on your next move. I originally thought this was a defect, but this problem occurred with both his 460's.
Conclusion: If you are a casual cuber, the Gan 460 might before you - it has a stunning look and nice external magnets. However, if you are using this for speedcubing, save some money and get some other, top tier cubes such as the:
-Aosu GTS2M
-Valk 4 M
-Wuque M
Lol never heard of that, or seen it on the Gan website.Also, what is the GAN magnet box?
Its 100% worth it considering its actual cheaper than the XThe gts2m and Valk and SM are still great cubes despite being really old

PS, congrats if you read all that
Here in Australia its $1.50 moreIts 100% worth it considering its actual cheaper than the X
