Upcoming puzzles


Look at this Review by TC.


That's brutal! I understand it's supposed to be funny and the cube is not good by today's standard, but it still is shocking to hear the comments. For example, one of their reviewers said, "Shengshou, I never want to try another one of your 3x3 ever again". Have Shengshou 3x3 cubes in the past always been terrible, and even so, is it not possible for them to improve in future? :oops:

I don't have the cube but from the comments and published info, I suspect it is still OK as a cube, though not nearly as fantastic as the all conquering RS3M 2020 that was used for TC's comparison and assessment. It is only 75g for a 56.5mm cube, which may be good for someone looking for a bigger low cost cube but has sore fingers due to age or joint issues, and therefore needs a light cube. The RS3M is 86g. I bought a few of them but found their magnets too weak, and did what many others have done - add magnets, and they weigh 89g after that. That's too much for me. This Shengshou however has good magnet strength, "great" according to one of the reviewers, Jules. Damian also tried to look for positives, and that's nice I thought.

I recall the Meilong M is very light and definitely very cheap.
Shengshou was maybe ok for budget 3x3s like 8 years ago. Probably not as primitive as Alpha V like JR says (only people who started cubing around 2010 know what that is) but the Guhong was pretty outstanding for its time. Actually idk what early 3x3s ShengShou had because all I know is their big cube market.
 
I have a couple Shengshou Mr.M's, .. they're not bad,.. not great either. Loud spring noise,.. and one of them has the magnets installed the wrong way and you really feel it when turning, (suddenly one side turns way too loose and easily.)

I mean if somehow I lost all my cubes and only had the Mr.M I could make do,.. it's better than a stock Rubiks,.. but it's not really a great cube or even a very good one.

My favorites lately are the Valk (stickered and non-stickered), the WRM2021 maglev, and the Tornado V2. So those are what I'm currently considering to be 'good cubes',... as a reference point.
 
Are we still taking puzzles from my dreams?

It was a pyraminx-like puzzle with bright stickerless colors and but somehow only edges and tips, no centers...

Probably exists already. Also in my dream, some fool in my comments accused me of making undisclosed commissions on puzzle sales. Hm, actually Calvin did give me a coupon I never used after I emailed him an unboxing I made...


Ok here's an actual new puzzle

The MoreTry puzzles are now for preorder on TC.

For some reason, the name ¨Tianma¨ reminds me of something.

I am still in shock on their price. They're incredibly affordable and innovative. I'm going to try to pick up an Enhanced and Snap when able. My opinion on MoreTry is very high right now.
 
Rubiks Phantom - pre order?


No picture though. I wonder if it's a ghost cube.

They have another one called Crystal Rubiks that actually looks pretty cool I just ordered


Curious to try one of these new Spinmaster brand Rubiks. They look like they turn better and maybe even have a tiny bit of corner cutting compared to the old ones.

edit:

found a recent video. It absolutely looks like these new Spinmaster Rubiks cubes turn a lot better than the old ones

I bought the new Spinmaster 3x3 just to see how it compares and it is so much better than the previous one. It's also fun to turn, I would totally recommend one if you want to try it.
