Upcoming puzzles

is this an old product? because it is only in white and the design is very strange. there haven't been hollow side cube pieces since the alpha mini days which this cube really reminds me of. the core doesn't even have springs?? very bizarre release, maybe it is an ultra budget puzzle like a dollar store cube. did I mention it has printed colors instead of stickers, like my cheap chinese cubes from a decade ago?? it's only 50 cents so I'm very tempted to get it just because of how weird the release is to me.

why is it called DUO? the naming would be clearer if it was 11 M lite or just 11 M without saying pro

I'm pretty sure it's called duo since it iirc the cube retains the tension and compression customizations, so it has 2 systems of adjustment, instead of 3 (magnet strength) like the pro

makes sense. as phil said in his cubicle video, $18 off for something few people use is actually a good value proposition.

I'm pretty sure it is new, it looks to me like an attempt to make the cheapest cube possible, I just wonder whether it performs ok.

Sorry for double post, but I have some news on an upcoming dayan cube:

Spoiler: Name

I dont think its a zanchi. I think its something new, and its gonna be called Dayan Zanchi Pro M.

Spoiler: Dayan Plastic Returns?

I found something about "signature plastic" so does that mean we are getting the old plastic back? It is possible.

Spoiler: Magnets?

There will be adjustable magnets on the corners, and 3 settings I belive. Same adjusement system as tengyun v2 but on corners.

Spoiler: adjustment system

the adjustment system under the center cap will probably be something new.

Spoiler: Purpose of the cube

This is supposed to be a mix of the Guhong V4 and tengyun. It will be light, but not as light as the guhong v4.

Spoiler: track design

it will feature the same Track design as the guhong v4

Spoiler: stickerless/stickered

I belive it will come in both stickered and stickerless, but I can say for sure stickred

Dayan = Big Goose
Zhanchi = spread wings, 展翅

so it is very likely the name will be zhanchi pro m.

I can confirm it will be called Zhanchi pro m. EDIT: Just realised I didnt really add anything to the conversation.

The core looks thin. They kept the rotating magnets from the tengyun v2 which are so large on the corners that they might affect turning feel. The edge and corner pieces look like they have a unique design but maybe that's just the render.

Any release date yet for the new Dayan?

Nope not yet. Likely some point next month though. Maybe even this month. DaYan are quite unpredictable.

the red magnets are breaking my eyes.

Well I've ordered some of them, will be the only new item in my unboxing next week (hopefully) so look out for the livestream!

Yayyyy another “new” Gan cube that nobody asked for

 

[zslane]

I think it can be argued that 99% of new 3x3x3 puzzles fall into the "nobody asked for" category, i.e., the "nobody really needs" category. For world-class solvers, there is probably no innovation that is going to significantly lower their solve times. For non-world-class solvers, today's flagships have all the performance and configurability they need; in other words, the puzzle isn't holding them back and getting a newer model isn't going to change that.

That just leaves "cuz I want it" and "cuz I'm a collector" as the primary reasons anybody--who already owns top-tier puzzles--buys new 3x3x3 cubes these days. GAN has every right to target those buyers, without comment from anyone, as any other manufacturer.

What's the video. Assuming it's the Duo.
