Has anyone bought this by chance? It is significantly cheaper than many of the custom made 4x4 bump cubes previously available. Thoughts? Reviews? Criticism/Feedback?

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time! Hopefully it comes to an American store soon.

like @BenChristman1 said, I have also been waiting a long time for this. I hope it comes to Tc soon. Do you know what brand it is?

Product description says "Lee Mod" and the phrase "This is a hand-made puzzle by my friend, Lee." So it doesn't appear to be mass produced.

Ah yes, so other cube stores are getting them in, I will get round to listing them this afternoon.

Are FanXin and Cube Style sister companies or are these cubes just obvious knockoffs of one another? I own the Cube Style 4x4 fisher, 4x4 windmill and 4x4 axis cube and I see Cube Solve Hero mentions the odd rounded edges of these puzzles. Here is my 4x4 fisher next to the video of the FanXin 4x4 Shift Edge.

FanXin, CubeStyle and LeFun all just seem to be different names the same cubes are sold under. I've bought the 4x4 Axis under all 3 names in the past.
Also, these aren't new puzzles. They've been around under one name or the other for several years now. The linked video itself is 8 months old.

Were puzzles identical or did they actually have some differences between brands?

are the internals also exact?

I can confirm that these are the same. They will also sometimes call it YiSheng or some other ones.

If anyone has any questions about GAN cubes, ask Oliver on Reddit:

Some ask why they can't include a white center cap without a logo for blind solving

A lot of good info. Plans for new 4x4 at the end of the year, 2x2 soon, and megaminx and squan are planned.
The puzzles, including the internals, are identical - I've swapped pieces between them with no problems, and the flash marks indicate the same moulds have been used. The one exception I've seen is that the last time I bought the 4x4 Axis it came in a matte finish. Previously it had always been glossy.

Upcoming limited edition gan. Description says the graphic is just a sticker instead of being printed on, which is great for anyone wanting just the red internals.

Gan Niu cube

That Niu thing looks so weird. I would peel off the designs, but then it would basically just be a normal cube.
