I think we'll see most of them within this year

I don't know these puzzles have been announced or not
my wish list forever is Okamoto And TonyFisher Puzzles
1. Okamoto's Master Pyraminx
2. Hiroshi Ishino&Okamoto's Pyracue
3. Tony Fisher's Cubic Hexaminx.

Though I can build them all by self but I still like to see massproduce them.

My list is essentially the same, except replace the Pyracue with the 2x3x4 and add Rex Dodecahedron as well.

Also what about the potential [removed] 8x8, or has that been considered a KO?
[Admin: All current 8x8x8s are KO]

Olivér Nagy · **Posted:** Sat Mar 24, 2012 5:34 am

In some way I'm in a lucky situation.
I know many puzzles that I made stickers for, but never released (or announced, or produced, or finished).

There is one puzzle I'm really want to see mass produced. It is Tony's Hexaminx. I love that puzzle.
(I have a hand made version from a builder, who I swapped with, but it is not quite an original Tony Fisher puzzle)

The Astrolabacus

Jared · **Posted:** Wed May 23, 2012 9:59 pm

Might as well bump this because of Ayi's 3-layer Cheese.

If anyone else is really interested, I can ask to have this topic stickied, and then I can edit the first post when we get info...

I think this would be a good idea so I can keep track of how much money I need to save to buy all of these puzzles

Didn't mf8 say they were going to release a bermuda megaminx?

alaskajoe · **Joined:** Mon Feb 06, 2006 12:52 am

I remember MF8 or Calvin saying that MF8 expects to release the Pentultimate within the first half of this year. I don't expect this to happen anymore, but I need a Pentultimate. Really.

Jared · **Posted:** Thu May 24, 2012 7:00 pm

The list has been updated. I'll ask Dave to sticky it.

[Admin: Done!]
...And thanks, Dave!

What's the Rex Dodecahedron????? How come I never heard about this!

Jared · **Posted:** Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:31 am

Updated with Petaminx!

As for the Rex Dodecahedron... use the forum search.

Doug Roth · **Joined:** Sun May 29, 2011 2:56 pm **Location:** New York

By Rex Dodecahedron, do you mean the Dino Dodecahedron? AKA Starkminx II (or Starminx I according to MF8)

Luke · **Posted:** Wed Jun 13, 2012 2:48 pm

It's a like a Rex Cube but it's a dodecahedron instead. It's the dodecahedral version of the standard Face Turning Icosahedron.

Here's the link to see the picture.

Oh, and the Dino Dodecahedron isn't a Starminx. MF8 called it the Starminx I, but actually the Starminx I is face turning, Starminx II is edge turning, and the Starminx III is vertex turning, but with depeer cuts than the Dino Dodecahedron.

Here's a protip: search for 'mf8 new products', and search within topic titles only.

Oh hell yes come here you sexy thing you.

...

Since it shows as "Out of Stock", I won't remove it from the list until it starts showing up in stock somewhere.

Jared · **Posted:** Sat Jul 07, 2012 6:29 pm

Post updated because the Petaminx is now available.

Jared · **Posted:** Sat Jul 21, 2012 9:33 am

First post updated again with WitEden's new mixup designs. They look really cool!

Jared · **Posted:** Sat Aug 25, 2012 8:57 am

List updated to add another WitEden puzzle and reflect the fact that the Master Pyraminx is in fact coming.

Jared · **Posted:** Sun Sep 02, 2012 10:09 pm

Updated with Bermuda Crazy Comet. Not sure if it's a series though.

Jared · **Posted:** Sun Sep 23, 2012 8:50 am

Removed Master Pyraminx as it has been released.

Also added the Kite Cube and DaYan Megaminx I.

I need people to remind me of things...

Jared · **Posted:** Tue Oct 09, 2012 9:08 am

Removed a couple puzzles.

pirsquared · **Posted:** Thu Oct 11, 2012 11:24 am

Good news, everyone!

I just got an update from Martin at MF8: Eitan's Star will be released by the end of this year! He said they have fixed the issues with the corner caps (spinning in place and breaking kind of easily).

I'll be sure to post here if I hear anything more.

-Eitan

Jared · **Posted:** Thu Oct 11, 2012 7:38 pm

Awesome news! Thanks very much for the update.

Rubikscuber1 · **Joined:** Sun Nov 16, 2008 5:57 pm

cool! I have been looking at the 2x2x4 + SSQ1 from Witeden. Can't wait to see it in full production!

Jared · **Posted:** Wed Oct 31, 2012 8:05 am

Removed the Rex/Bauhinia Dodecahedron and Ayi's 3-layer Cheese from the list.

pirsquared · **Posted:** Sun Nov 11, 2012 8:19 pm

I just saw something exciting! On the mf8 shop homepage, the second picture in the top banner shows Eitan's Star!

That banner has been there for quite awhile actually, but who knows. Very excited for it nonetheless

Witeden just released the SQ224 and 2 more camouflage cube designs.

CatzRuleZWorld · **Joined:** Sun May 06, 2012 10:28 am

What about the WitEden 4x4? The mini one is out but the full sized one is not out yet.
Sorry if this cube is a KO but I'm pretty sure its not.

Jared · **Posted:** Fri Nov 16, 2012 1:00 pm

Thanks guys! List updated. Actually, I haven't seen the WitEden mini 4x4 for sale anywhere so I added it to the list. I didn't hear that they were also making a regular-sized version... can you point me to this?

Edit: Found the mini one and removed it from the list.

Here is a video of the full sized one:

I guess it doesn't say that it will be for sale soon or anything but I would assume that since it looks like it works so good in the video that they would release a version of it soon.

Jared · **Posted:** Sat Nov 24, 2012 5:28 pm

Thanks, I've added it.

Has anyone seen MF8's avatar? I'm hopeful it means a new announcement soon...

Void Pentaltimate

pirsquared · **Posted:** Sat Jan 19, 2013 12:27 pm

A quick update on Eitan's Star. Martin sent me a sample puzzle, which I think is the final design. I think the plastic is better quality than the first prototype I received sometime last April. If you recall, the corner caps on the first prototype cracked very easily. I haven't found any cracks on this puzzle yet.

I haven't stickered it yet, but now that I have an awesome sticker cutter, it's only a matter of time.

Based on pictures from this post, I'm adding the "Curvy-cut Starminx" to the list.

Jared · **Posted:** Fri Feb 01, 2013 5:47 pm

Updated the list.

I believe the 62mm 4x4x4 is available on HKNowStore.

Exactly. I hope things go well with the producer so that we will see a new edition this year.

Pantazis

Jared · **Posted:** Sat Feb 02, 2013 7:07 pm

I was hesitant to add it to the list because it had already been released years ago.

But I'll do that now.

Last time he told me he was planning to make at least two different themes
(i.e. different number of total colors), one of them should be the old one,
so there should be at least one new one.
