Hi guys! I'm trying to figure out what puzzles to buy, as I am replacing my old ones. I'm taking suggestions on 2x2, 4x4, and pyraminx. Thanks!

Depends on budget tbh.
2x2 :
Under £10 (idk what it is in USD or whatever currency you use) - Id recommend Qiyi M Pro Ballcore.
Idk about £10-£20
£20 + - Gan 251 M Pro
Pyra :
Under £10 - Rs Pyra (either version but id say maglev is better for me)
£10 - £20 = weilong (NOT THE MAGLEV)
£20 + = just get the weilong
4x4 :
Under £20 - Aosu v7 single track (you can get with uv for little more)
£20 - £40 - Aosu v7 dual track.
£40 + If you wait the Gan 460 v2 (but its risky as since its not out properly yet theres not much reviews so you wont know if it suits your turning style)

MoYu WeiLong Pyraminx (Magnetic, MagLev)
MoYu WeiLong Pyraminx Magnetic (MagLev) is the first pyraminx to be offered with "MagLev" version and features a new magnetic layout.

everyone told me "don't get the maglev", but of course I got the maglev
I think its actually really good and really fast. once I got used to it, I started to break a lot of Pbs(got a 1.02)
idk why people say "don't get the maglev" tbh. no pops or lockups, just nice fast turning

Get the Vin 4x4 Ballcore UV coated. It is the best 4x4, and after around 500 solves it will start getting nice and easy to turn (as it is broken in by then). I put my only lube, SCS Lunar, into it and it seems to do the job pretty well. It has only popped 4 times in the 600 or so solves I've done, so yeah - very nice!

forgot to mention that it is your opinion but yes the Vin 4x4 is a very good option especially if you liked the MGC

I think I'm going to get the magnetic one, because I have trouble with alignment, and when I try to turn the top on my current one it sometimes turns a different side.this is my pyraMoYu WeiLong Pyraminx (Magnetic, MagLev)
