@Olivertam Now I have to ask, plans for a square-1? Clock?
SQ1 will start developing this year. No plan for clock. I could also tell GAN's next product, or accessories to be exact, will be a keychain with small 3x3 on it. While I could share some info of GAN, I am also looking for overseas advices on GAN's future models or current models' improvement. I am not sure if this thread can be a channel for me. Maybe I'll start a new thread.

I would love to help if at all possible! Really glad to have you hear and I am really excited for the square-1 in particular.

Overseas advice: Update the 460 or make a 459, make 562, maybe even a 6x6 or 7x7. For the new 4x4, there needs to be a more practical adjustment system, and try to make adjustable magnets on the 4x4 and 5x5, that would be epic. On all of these, if you use the black internals, they will look extraordinary, and help with recognition. These don’t need to be done this year, but if you do them all eventually that would be amazing.

Totoally agree, especially about the 4x4

A simple quick-change tensioning system for 6x6 would be awesome. The MGC is a fantastic puzzle, but tensioning is a weak point. A good modular magnet system would be really complicated for 6x6, but would also be really cool.

Also custom stickerless schemes: sell puzzles as a core/hardware and pick 6 of maybe 12-15 colors. People would get 7 baggies of parts and assemble it themselves. Shipping should cost the same or a little less, and you skip the step of actually assembling the puzzle.

If this becomes a thing, include stickerless black or don't bother.
 
If I was picking I would probably include at least:

Black
White
Bright yellow
Dark yellow
Fluorescent blue
Dark blue
Fluorescent green
Mint
Dark green
Safety orange
Red
Hot pink
Brown
Fluorescent blue/green would be awesome for better recognition and cubing in the dark.
 
If GAN will release a new product line that offer a magnetic 3x3 at less than 20 bucks what do you guys think?
GAN has released too many 3x3s, if the company wants to stay relevant it needs to release a lot less 3x3s and maybe more other puzzles. $20 is hardly a budget cube: that’s roughly flagship price for any other brand. Look at the YJ MGC and Yuxin Little Magic line for the cubes that are doing it right.
