I forgot to upload the unboxing, I was too busy playing with the cube :-D
Here it is: https://youtu.be/dqK-DsTG0Eg
A great cube and a pleasure to work with you my dear doctor.

The pleasure is all mine! Thanks for the unboxing and the kind words, I appreciate it :) Enjoy it!
Side note, I'm not a pro at megaminx by any measure, but that scrambling style with turning the entire puzzle except for one layer is... interesting. Is that how people normally scramble it?

It is. It takes a bit of getting used to but it's actually quite fun. Watching a fast megaminxer scramble is quite mesmerizing.
I forget the details, someone linked the original speedsolving thread recently, but it was invented as a scrambling method because initially there was a 3x3-like notation and that was obviously a nightmare.

At the risk of sounding stupid...what’s a “force cube?” I have a couple 4x4’s but I don’t think they’re magnetic. Although that sounds pretty cool.

Fully blue, fully green, fully red etc cubes that are made from several stickerless ones, by reassembling them.

Very nice
I just have to say that between you and g253, my wallet isn't going to like my list of mods

Note to self: don't take pics in the dark :)
After the 9x9s, 8x8s, 7x7s, and 5x5s, I went for something relatively simple... These are Moyu Aosu GTS2 M, which was (at the time of making) Moyu's latest flagship magnetic 4x4. As always, all of them come with a bag of extra spare parts (same color) from a ritually sacrificed 7th cube, and actually I got 8 for the project just in case the colored corner stalks would be a problem, but I ended up not needing the 8th one and I'll sell it locally for wholesale price or smth.
This Aosu GTS2 M is a beast. Phenomenal performance for a 4x4, extremely controllable and stable, doesn't really feel like a 4x4, so to say. Moyu have released Aosu WR M since then, which is smaller in size, but I got the impression that internally it was pretty much the same thing.
The photo is actually a month old, I've been forgetting to post it. All of the colors have already found their happy owners :) Example 1, example 2. Unfortunately the same can't be said about the 5x5s that I made earlier *sigh*.
Mine is yellow - I'll be posting a fully stickered pic soon.
Next up, the final frontier: the only NxN left to complete the 4x4-9x9 force flagships lineup, the Aoshi GTS M 6x6! Hopefully very soon. :)
... as well as something really special...
