Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
One of the most famous toys in history, Rubik's Cube is the incredibly addictive, multi-dimensional challenge that has fascinated fans since it arrived in 1980. Over "43 Quintillion" (that's 43 with 18 zeros to you and me) moves are possible with this original 3x3 Cube, but there is only one solution! A must for puzzle lovers, the aim is to twist and turn the Rubik's Cube to return it to its original state, with every side having one solid colour. For those who struggle to master this challenge - or simply lack the patience - the enclosed guide provides the simplest ever 7-step Rubik's Cube solution and introduces a number of other fantastic games to play. So, whether you're into simple siding or prefer a spot of classic cubing, hours of challenging fun lie ahead.

I bought a Rubik's cube a few months ago after seeing one on a TV documentary and remembering the one I had from my childhood. Straight away I had that flush of nostalgia, although I'm convinced this cube is smaller than the original version. Or maybe I'm bigger now! It is smooth to operate and i've had no problems (like other reviewers) with the stickers peeling off. Maybe my usage isn't that intensive yet! It comes with a tiny triangular stand to place it on and it's shows it off to good effect once you've completed the cube, which i've been unable to do so far. It also comes with an explanation booklet, which although has some useful tips, isn't the clearest i've seen. Overall this is a fun and stimulating toy, that may not keep you engaged for long periods of time (depending on your patience and attention span), but will give you a fun mental workout, as well as that nostalgic hit from a classic toy.

I bought this recently to take on holiday........it gave me a challenge for a week and something to do on the beach whilst soaking up the sun. I owned one in the 80's but was never able to do it, so thought now I'm a bit older I'll give it another go......and am now pleased to say after a weeks practice, driving my girlfriend mad and memorising certain moves and following the solve guide that comes with it........I can now complete it in under 2 minutes. It is a great challenge, incredibly addictive and a cool party trick.....dumbfounding people with a seemingly impossible task to solve.
There is a mention on here from one reviewer that the last step in the solution booklet doesnt work. I thought this at first, but it does work....its just not explained very well. So tip: Once you have all the all the last layer corners in the right place but not flipped, pick a face to be your front face....I always choose red. Hold the front face facing you and now JUST TURN THE TOP LAYER and get the piece that needs to be flipped in the top right hand corner. Execute the move R(anticlockwise) D (anticlockwise) R (clockwise) D (clockwise). Make sure when you turn your D face you turn it the correct way.....imagine you are looking directly at D face you are turning. (It is easy to turn it clockwise, not anticlockwise if you are not looking at it directly.) After executing this move 2 or 4 times the corner that needed to be flipped will be completed. What it DOESNT explain in the booklet is that once you have flipped one corner IT WONT GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL STATE YOU STARTED WITH........it still looks all messed up.......don't worry about it. keep going. Still holding your chosen front face facing you, turn the top layer again so the next corner piece that needs to be flipped is in the top right hand corner. Execute the move again. Keep turning the top layer, so the piece that needs to be flipped is in the top right hand corner, and execute the alogorithm. On the last corner piece.......as if by magic...all the colours line up and just twist the individual layers and you've done it! Hope this helps......
The downside of this cube is, and much the same as the other reviews....after much twisting and turning the stickers start to peel away from the edges. A great gadget that is hard to put down, its just a shame they dont make it more durable.

I love the cube, but the one I purchased lasted all of 2 days. The stickers (especially the green ones) started coming off. I have had to paint them once the stickers came of. The cube it self is of good quality, I just dont understand why they had to use stickers instead of having the colors painted onto the cube.

great toy great service, nice to deal with the seller
Highly recomended seller. I've got no problem at all. This original cube is much more better than what you can buy for £2 on ebay. My husband was very pleased with the present.
