Upcoming puzzles

can you ask christmas if he can give me a dog?
well my parents just got one before Christmas since they wanted a cat too, but they said it counts for Christmas too. I can't complain though, I am loving the kitten.

Yeah, I didn't get any birthday cubes cause I got a dog. and then I didn't get him until June 10 when my birthday is march 15(I lied about the date on the profile too.)
 
I'm kinda looking forward to the GAN Skewb. Mostly because I want a complete collection of WCA event puzzles from GAN (except for a clock, which I couldn't care less about). But I'm just not interested in chasing the 3x3 dragon.

Honestly, I already have so many good 3x3 puzzles that I really don't need any more. At my level of skill, an "objectively better" cube (than what I already have) wouldn't do me any good. By the time my skills get to the point where my solve speed requires a better cube to improve any further, the GAN flagship will probably be a GAN 20 Pro.
 
Now this is a collector's item
Ew, the color scheme would look terrible.
 
$80 is not that bad for limited edition stuff. You should see the prices for custom handmade puzzles.
I guess limited edition GAN cubes are more desirable than limited edition YJ cubes?
IKR, it's like would you rather have a different color $65 dollar item for $80 or a one of a kind cube for $35
 
honestly I don't get why people collect cubes
This is gonna sound stupid but I started cubing in 2009-2010 and I completely missed out on all the cool speedcubes of the era so I'd like to relive that now that I have spare money.
Also I quite like mechanical things and playing with different puzzles, seeing how they feel, trying to set them up, etc. If you've ever tried old cubes you'll know that they feel different, often heavier and crunchier.
 


Monster Go Pyraminx

That’s cool that Gan is taking another shot at pyraminx. But I guess it makes sense being a teaching / beginners series. That would mean that maybe a skewb or 4x4 could come soon, and maybe a Megaminx because Gan has already done it
 
Exactly, I just get good mains for each event, lubes, and maybe backup mains and don't buy anything. But I see why people want to collect cubes, I just don't have the time or money to buy cubes.
For some people it's not just about competing and doing the WCA events. There are many interesting and very hard puzzles, and if you're a collector getting a limited edition puzzle could be worth something in years to come.

I don't care too much for limited edition puzzles, but some puzzles are just so cool I really want to own them.
For example, the concept of the latch cube is so simple yet so ingenious that I really want to buy one sometime.

Thats why I said I understand why people would want to collect, I just said my preference. Sorry if you were offended, but just re-read the message.
