Anyone who has some extra time on their hands and can read chinese / just use google translate should checkout the mf8 forums where a lot of chinese cubers post http://bbs.mf8-china.com/forum.php (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http://bbs.mf8-china.com/forum.php)

What interests me as someone who is interested in cubing hardware is the much better connection Chinese cubers have with hardware companies, and the possibilities of finding rare prototypes or unreleased products. I can guarantee you that some Chinese cubers have some puzzles that were never released to the Western market.

Here's just one collection photo from http://bbs.mf8-china.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=116188&extra=page=1 If those cuboids are all C4U puzzles (I believe 铭浩之 / minghaozhi is C4U), then there is definitely more colors here than what was sold normally, even taking in account force cubes.

Here's some more interesting photos of collections (there's a lot more)

I remember checking the mf8 forums back in 2018, when I had wechat and qq installed on my phone, and was in touch with lot of chinese cubers.

Are you active on mf8 as well (Reading wise and posting wise)?

No because I would have to basically use google translate for everything, but I've considered it if it meant I could buy certain rare cubes.

Oh other than posts about buying or getting cubes.

Are there good posts about methods and algsets on mf8 forums that you came across?

I barely know any methods and algsets so I am a very bad person to ask. On my brief look, I didn't see anything that stood out as new and revolutionary. I did not check the blind section though.

I found Mr. Dayan (Bao Daqing, 包大庆) himself is still active on the forums (although doesn't post much), which is amazing because afaik Dayan has barely any western social media presence (well, there was this https://www.instagram.com/dayancube/?hl=en)


You can see that in 2019, he actually did make official announcements of new Dayan releases: http://bbs.mf8-china.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=68&do=thread&view=me&type=thread&from=space
