Upcoming puzzles

Qiyi is pretty quiet about 3x3 release, after TV3. Anything from the grapevine? The TV3 is outstanding, other than the price (what else :)) and the rare occasional lockups (which I don't encounter with Moyu's)

I had a bad impression of the TV3 because of the settings my friend had it on. I secretly changed the settings ( he noticed right away ), and it was much better

The Qiyi MS Pro is coming out soon, which just seems like an MS with a dual adjustment system a la Moyu and a slightly different feel. Not too revolutionary but it could be a bit of competition to the RS3 Super, as most people didn't get the MS because it didn't have a spring compression system

A look inside the Swift Block's mechanism. It looks very minimalist.

Judging by the feature set, it looks like it's targeting the RS3's realm? Even if this is a GAN puzzle, going against the RS3 seems like a very bold thing to do.

Size: 55mm

Corner design looks quite weird. Wonder how it'll play out in terms of durability considering the foot and stalk are a bit thin.
MS Pro mechanism.

I don't wanna be that guy, but it kinda looks like they mashed the Yulong v2 up with an RS3.

This probably is just using design cues from the Tornado V3 and making production cheaper by taking out the adjustable magnets and making it split piece instead of capped.
