Mine is not so good. Maybe because I accidentally put way too much weight 3 in it...

I am a minimalist. I often purge possessions. I stopped cubing between 2010-2019 and one day while moving got rid of my Eastsheen 4x4 type F, A, A II, and some other cool 3x3s as part of my “get rid of 1 thi if a day” project I did for a few years. I really regret getting rid of those older cubes since that era of cubes was sort of the be beginning of real speed cubes. I still really enjoy having a bunch of old puzzles since its
Fun to have my own museum of cubing history.
I left them on the free bookshelf at my university library so atleast I know some other nerds are enjoying them now.
I find today’s hardware to still be inspiring and it’s fun to own all the classic models...and as a well paid adult cubes are still a relatively inexpensive thing to collect!

My only old cube is an original rubiks brand

The people at the library won't appreciate the history
especially if people think that Chinese "knockoffs" are the same as Rubik's brand (although early cubes were basically the same exact mech)

I agree. I did go to an engineering only school though so I hope some other cuber took them, I know there was a larger than average cuber population there. Oh well...The people at the library won't appreciate the history

I can't bring myself to purge my collection. I'll only sell puzzles I don't play with because I don't have much memory with them.
Last night I had a dream I was back in my college dorm (probably because LCC made a video about his dorm) and I found a "Valk Power 2" I never used. It was transparent plastic like a Kylin and had heavy smooth turning. Weird dream...

Don't do it! it seems we're on the similar pages when it comes to motives on collecting. Even the puzzles I don't solve often still bring me joy. I find that a puzzle I might want to get rid of a year later I'm quite happy I have.
Edit:
Also, is anyone else significantly underwhelmed by the factory magnetized Yuxin Little Magic M? I got a plain version, Cubicle celeritas, & a cubicle mystic. All of them feel inferior to my original YLMs with custom stronger magnets installed. Thoughts?

I bought a Moyu HuanYing just because the mech looks cool and I can't stop playing with it. There's something just so fascinating with the hollow turning and hollow clacky sound it makes. I guess you'll never know which cubes will become your favorite.

That's either extremely stupid or extremely cocky, I cannot tell which one though.

I think we should just be glad Chinese companies even bother promoting to Western markets. I haven't seen Dayan communicate with any Western audiences on social media anywhere.

I haven't tried a magnetic original YLM but I rather like my factory magnetic one. Still not as good as the RS3M2020 though.

I have met a few people who bought the mf8 and instead got the Meilong 8x8 (you can tell by the new piece design and more vibrant colors). This is just the same thing but now it's in an updated boxMFJS MeiLong 8x8
