further to my previous announcement, Diansheng have now announced on their instagram that they will not only be making the first factory magnetic 8x8x8 but also the first factory magnetic 9x9x9! Theoretically this has the potential to completely change 8x8x8+ cubes as people will no longer need to magnetize them themselves, it is also likely to not be significantly more expensive than other 8x8x8s, as there is little competition, 8x8x8s are usually significantly more expensive than their 7x7x7 equivalent but maybe this could change?
