but why so many?
also, that should not inflate the cost by DOUBLE

I'd like to know too. Having been burnt by the poor quality of the Mini M Pro before, I will wait till there is some trustworthy review before considering this one. It's not fun being the first buyers, or early adopters, especially at this kind of prices.

It is not expensive, since it has 364 magnets. Consider the effort of putting all of them in a small cube. Read under "Notice".

Ha, pretty sure any 3×3 that costa over $100 (and isn't made of gold or platinum or diamonds) *IS* expensive, and even *too* expensive.

Standard 3×3 magnet setup involves only 48 magnets, 2 in each of the 12 edge pieces and 3 in each of the 8 corner pieces
If GAN came up with a notion that octupling the number of magnets in the cube makes it worth a ton more, this does not make it reasonable.
Fortunately for me, I don't like the feel of GAN cubes I have tried, so they get to keep the one they made for me, in fact I will let them have it for free lol

Just heard from Pi Cube that they are not gonna make Ballcore 6 or 7 as the cost of R&D will just be way too high.
These are now available on Pi Cube's local Chinese site already, and for your reference the Pi Cube Premium Ball Core YJ MGC 5x5 is just at the same price as the MoYu & Pi Cube Limited WeiLong WR M V9.

Will they sell the cores as a kit or only with the cubes?

I have a feeling that they would rather order thru a real site and not an ebay listing lol

Actually they are already selling aoshi wrm with custom strong springs which turns a lot better (my main)
For 7x7, they got non-magnetic parts of aofu wrm from MoYu and custom magnetize with custom magnets and make the magnets strength a lot more comfortable and reasonable (still hesitating if I should get this)

I still want to try to "Mass-produce" a maglev 2x2
I bet if I make the center width wider but leave the centerpieces the same size I could fit a maglev ring inside
