Maybe the OP likes their rubiks brand just for the novelty?

I have it, it is too big, has frosted plastic, is really heavy, and the magnets are too weak. Not a great cube imo.Or the new RS4M. Get that. I assume it will be better.
Same. My neighbor got me one for my birthday last year claiming it would be a "real challenge" then I brought out my 8x8 and you've never seen someone so amazed. Then I used my GTS2M 4x4 to actually do something fast.I have it, it is too big, has frosted plastic, is really heavy, and the magnets are too weak. Not a great cube imo.
The rs4m was released like 3 weeks ago..Same. My neighbor got me one for my birthday last year claiming it would be a "real challenge" then I brought out my 8x8 and you've never seen someone so amazed. Then I used my GTS2M 4x4 to actually do something fast.
Maybe he quoted the wrong person and meant the rubiks brandThe rs4m was released like 3 weeks ago..

I suggest z3cubing's video of assembling 4x4 to 7x7 (link below)I just recently unboxed my MGC 6x6 to find that something was catching with 2/3 axis. Never taken a 6x6 apart. Pls help.

most of my weird cube catching is due to small internal piece being out of place and not a core misalignment (which should be very difficult in modern designs?)Can't see the video:

To my knowledge, there are two main reasons that you can get catching on big even cubes: either the tensions are too loose (so the screw heads are too high up and scrape against the plastic) or the alignment mechanism in the core is not aligned correctly.
If you back off the tensions and spread the pieces in the middle layers apart, you might be able to see a little nub under one of the inner centre pieces; these nubs hold the core to one half of the puzzle when you do a 3Uw/3Rw/3Fw move, and so all the nubs have to be pointing to the same corner for the layers to turn properly. If you notice one of the nubs pointing in a weird direction (or worse, multiple nubs pointing in weird directions), disassemble the affected face(s) and reassemble the centre stalk(s) properly. (This should never happen, as the centre stalks are asymmetrical, but if it does, you'll probably have to get replacement parts.)
Yet another possibility is that there's an extra internal piece on the inside that shouldn't be there, or one of the internal pieces that should be there is not in its usual position.

NO!Um I just managed to put back in the missing edge without putting back in the white piece, is that ok?
those go in between the hidden center pieces.I just popped 2 4x4 edges, I put one back in, but the other one will not go in, there is one other piece that I assume I will have to put in this is what it looks, like please help me this is my mainaView attachment 14869
maybe it was too lose, MGC cubes come loseAlso did average of 5, no pops. soooo.... THIS IS WEIRD AF
