I saw a sadface for the mgc megaminx.. I did also get a yuhu v2 for me and some friends to check it out. Also got the dayan v2. Not getting the GAN.. i was fine paying big money to check their 3x3 but not so much on the megaminx.

Thats not all of them. Prob another 3 4x4s.. another 2 5x5s. 4 historic cubes.. and 5 more rs3ms. And an 8x8 and 9x9 as well as a couple black rs3ms come in today.

Yup.. its an MGC :)

Got back into cubing.. these are my mains. Top row Weilong WRM 2020, 11 M Pro, RS3M 2020, MGC. Bottom row Aosu, MGC, MGC, MGC, MGC. Gear cube for lulz. 3x3 obviously not decided... 4x4 was main cube that I did a solid comparison of other brands/models. Have a 5x5 Valk but was too stiff for my...

Feel much more comfy with what the algorithms are doing. Ordered an 8x8 and 9x9 now. Orig figured would stop at 7x7... but the Meilong's are cheap enough to say whatever... let's do this. No magnets but I am actually totally fine taking my time at this point. 11x11 is where the price really jumps.

I recently bought 12 RS3M 2020s. Gave 6 away and the others I am using to test various lubricants and setups. In the past I always took off the label stickers. With recent cubes I've been keeping them on just to make sure I don't mix them all up. However, the six I am using to test I want to...

Almost got the WRM non-2020 but didn't like how the holes are visible on the center caps. GTS2M is a possibility.

So I received my GAN 356 M Lite today as well as a MoYu WeiLong WR M 2020 and I was a bit surprised. Also pretty interesting perspective on the MoYu RS3 M 2020 but i'll get to that after. So the GAN Lite... felt very airy and did indeed feel quite similar to the flagship. The magnets on mine...

Thanks to both of you for sharing and working to help me with my algos. Just solved 7x7 for the 2nd time from full scramble and this time I see how maybe I can try to avoid the XOXOX parity during the edge pairing stage perhaps. Part of why I am trying to find a single simple algorithm is I like...

Yeah.. my recent goal has been as few algorithms as possible. After not cubing for 2 years I lost the ability to solve a 3x3 from memory.. had to look things up. I sort of felt that knowing 4LLL helped with that instead of the beginner's method. The base algo I am using here took me from 4x4 -...

How can Rw U2 x Rw U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw' be converted for XOXOX in the least impactful way? The single slice one looked great as far as minimal changes.. but single slices instead of wide is also a big change.

Just realized there were single slices instead of wide turns... got confused on the notation 3R U2 x 3R U2 3R U2 (Lw 4Rw') U2 3L U2 3R' U2 3R U2 3R' U2 3R' vs. 3Rw U2 x 3Rw U2 3Rw U2 (Lw 4Rw') U2 3Lw U2 3Rw' U2 3Rw U2 3Rw' U2 3Rw' The orig alg I was using was wide turns.

Dude... thats awesome. What is the OOXOO for the Rw U2 Rw (x U2 Rw U2 x') Lw' U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw' algo? Also... where can I see a bit about how to use Rw U2 Rw U2 F2 Rw F2 Lw' U2 Lw U2 Rw2 ?

Yes but that is a bit different of an algorithm (which might be better.. I just have been exclusively using the other until now). It moves the location of the x rotation, adds an additional reverse x rotation.. and swaps an R for an L. Which admittedly is close. Are the changes in x rotations...

Hey... so just got my 6x6 and 7x7. Solved 6x6 no prob. On 7x7 I was trying to handle edge parity using the base algo from earlier cubes: Rw U2 x Rw U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw' I figured the following changes to work for the following edges: XXOXX 4Rw U2 x 4Rw U2 4Rw U2 4Rw'...

Im using more or less the beginner's method. Wanted to memorize solving them fully before making faster. JPerm's 4x4 vid went straight to Yau and I felt that made it more confusing to get the basic algos down. I understand how it works as well as 3-2-3 pairing but will circle back to those...

Yeah.. my main issue was i have 4x4 and 5x5.. but am still waiting on a 6x6 and 7x7 to arrive so can't experiment (until I found the algo site). I suspected could move diff big slices for larger cubes but didn't see a vid explaining how to adjust pre-existing algorithms. Also threw me off that...

I did get a 2x2 and solved following a guide but haven't memorized yet.. been focused on 5x5 and waiting on 6x6 and 7x7 to come in the mail. Did order a megaminx too.

It will be here this week so will report back. Thinking on pricing... when I started around 2013 the Zhanchi still had it's throne mostly.. and it was maybe $12 direct from China. The Aolong II or Weilong II were competitors I got for $13 and $16. GAN was around then but it was one of the cubes...

I ordered a bunch of flagships / solid cubes over the last month.. and only got one Gan (and my first).. the 11 M Pro. Reading your post I actually just ordered the 356 M Lite. I want to see how the more budget version compares. I agreed when I saw the $65 that wowzer thats a bit pricey. I...
