At launch, almost 80 dollars was a pretty bad price for this puzzle. However in the modern market I think the GAN 12 shines in price to preformance/reliability. This puzzle handles like no other on the market, with a clackity, papery feel. And aggressively fast layers and slices. The corners have a wide radius design to them making the cube feel somewhat old school and a little blocky. However the cube's auto allignment is still to this day the most stable, predictable, and reliable on the market in my opinion. If you have never tried this puzzle before I highly recommend picking one up. I got mine as an impulse buy and have maimed it since i unboxed it. a MUST OWN for any serious 3x3ers and collectors
