When will they stop?! Most cubers won’t be able to buy it because it’s so expensive.

they still haven’t made the 23x23!

They're gonna stop at the 23x23, or maybe there is just no stopping them.

There is a 33x33. Not mass-produced, but it probably will be

It appears that Yusheng Du is collaborating with Moyu to bring a new, promising, sub-brand. I am definitely looking forward to this given that the Du is one of my favourite cubers.

HuaMeng 3x3 from MoYu by YuSheng Du is coming out soon!

HuaMeng 3x3 from MoYu by YuSheng Du is coming out soon!

That's one nationalistic name, for sure.

Do you have any idea when?

MoYu posted that pic to IG this morning, but didn't say anything about when.

Yea, HuaMeng means "the ambition of China" in Chinese. Yes, its the same Chinese word as the Chinese name of the X-Man Ambition 4x4

Hi!

I think it may be interesting to collect info about upcoming (officially or unofficially announced) puzzles in one place.

My 2¢ (sources - manufacturer's facebook pages, online stores):

Spring 2018

3x3​

Yuxin Huanglong 3x3 (M) (top, video) released​

4x4​

MoYu Aosu GTS (top, after M released in the autumn of 2017)​

GAN 460 M (top) released​

5x5​

MoYu Aochuang GTS (M) (top, video) released​

6x6​

MoYu Aoshi GTS (M) (top, video) released​

QiYi X-Man Shadow (M) (top)​

7x7​

QiYi Qixing 7x7 (budget, proof) released​

YuXin Hays7 M (top)​

didn't gan say they would make a 5x5 and sq-1?

I'm calling it right now, both will be terrible. Mostly the 5x5 though. The Square-1 will likely be decent but I'm guessing it'll cost more than a /B and be just okay in comparison.

I think GAN should make an FTO M instead.

I think GAN should make an FTO M instead.

Anything is better than a LanLan, even GAN couldn't mess that one up.

Hopefully, now that FTO is gaining more and more traction someone will make a decent one so you no longer have to make your own Rex-TO's or mod a lanlan beyond recognition.

I really hope there will be an upgrade from my lanlan fto M, no matter if yuxin/gan/moyu/yj/qiyi make a fto M speed cube.

 

[UncleFrank]

didn't gan say they would make a 5x5 and sq-1?

Yes, they did. Gan himself said it in a video interview with Cubicle in November 2021, that they were working on a 5x5 and sq1 for release in 2022. Then sometime in late 2022 they said it would be out in 2023.

They'll probably name the 5x5 "562M" or some such, and I expect it'll just be "meh", like the 460 is. Ok but nothing special. And very overpriced, of course.
The SQ1 will probably be called the "SQ1 M Enhanced". Should be very good, tho, similar to their skewb and pyraminx. Just as overpriced, too, which will limit it's popularity.

Someone commented on the IG post of this photo with "HuaMeng YS3M" and MoYu said they were right.

Considering I ordered mine 71 days ago, you're a little off.

A solve on the HuaMeng YS3M, where YS stands for YuSheng according to MoYu.

Imagine a GAN square-1 with GES nut. I guess they will release 3-4 versions including standard version with magnetic slice, enhanced version which is fully magnetic, and also a UV coated version of the GAN square-1 enhanced.

I also want to ask why the GAN robot v2 which turns much faster than the v1 has never been mass-produced?
