Customer Reviews

Great product, shame about the quality
The Rubik's cube is one of the best and most enduring puzzles of all time. Unfortunately, the build quality of this particular version is not too great; the cube feels a little flimsy and the stickers are misaligned. However, it's hard not to recommend this product despite these issues.

Great fun, but rubbish quality. Not worth the 10 pounds
I have had several non-original Rubik's Cube over the years. Decided to buy an "original" Rubik's Cube as a Christmas treat. Wish I didn't waste my money. The quality is horrid. The stickers are peeling off after 2 days of careful use, and the whole thing is starting to feel loose. Total rip-off for the price.

Rubik's Cube...Its a Puzzle
One of today's modern day mysteries, a puzzle that has stood the test of time and has now been integrated into our modern pop culture, i refer of course to the Rubik's Cube. Created in 1980, the Rubik's Cube (Originally called The Magic Cube) is a straight forward, 3D puzzle. There are 6 sides, green, yellow, red , orange, white and blue, your goal is to make all 6 sides their complete corresponding colour. Once you have purchased your Cube you'll notice that the Cube is already solved on all 6 sides but now the time has come, you must scramble your cube. During most of the time after its release only 1/3 of the Earths population that had bought a Rubik's Cube had actually solved it. But for the other 2/3 their cube's remained unsolved.

This product is a great present for anyone who loves puzzles or for anyone who doesn't already own one. This particular one comes with a rather nice stand to show off your cube when its finished and a 7-step booklet on how to solve a Rubik's Cube so you won't have to peal off the stickers.

How much fun?: This toy is a lot of fun and can provide hours/months of enjoyment to anyone who is patient.

Educational Value: Though the Cube isn't that mathematical it certainly requires a lot of logic puzzle solving and requires you to think in order to solve it.

Durability: Its not the best quality Cube in the fact that the stickers do, with constant use, come off eventually and there are cubes you can get that with tiles not stickers. But still the stickers don't come off in days like people say they take years, and the cube doesn't just fall apart either.

Overall this is a great puzzle and, for me, years of entertainment at a very cheap price. Once you've solved this try the bigger and badder challenge in the Rubik's Cube family, The 4x4 Rubik's Revenge Cube.

ADDITIONAL: After you've solved the cube you probably will want to speed solve the Rubik's Cube in which case i suggest you do the following:

Turn the top layer of your cube at a 45 degree angle and pry out the center piece. Then pull out the subsequent other 2 pieces. Now get a jar of Vaseline and apply some to the gaps in the cube. Reassemble the cube and do this to the rest of the cube. Now twist all the cubes sides and you should now find your cube moves like a dream :).

Happy Solving!
