The MF8 Son-Mum Cube was a delightful challenge and fun to solve. I got the stickerless so no problems with stickers. The puzzle turns very smooth and didn’t pop on me. However, when it’s bandaged, take care not to force a face turn or some of the bandaged center pieces can move to a place they’re not supposed to be. If this happens you will need to take out a few pieces and put them where they belong.

This puzzle was a symphony of parities. Not one, not two, but three different kinds of parities you can experience. OLL, PLL and also a new kind of parity where it appears two strips of off-center pieces need to be swapped.

Towards the end of the solve, you need to solve the center pieces by color similar to the centers of a 5x5, however, you’ll need to learn some new dance moves as the center reduction process works differently. Experience with Oscar’s Mixup Cube is recommended or you will be completely confused.
