    1.0 out of 5 stars The Rubik's cube are not as good as the 80's models, 31 Aug 2008
    By Mr. A. R. Lyon "A R Lyon" (Barrhead) - See all my reviews

    Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    This review is from: Original Rubik's Cube (Toy)
    I first got a Rubik's cube when they came out in the early 80's and absolutely loved it. I used the first one so much that I had to buy a replacement within a couple of years. The action for these cubes was fantastic. 'Clicky' 'tight' but so easy and smooth to turn. Even though I could eventually solve the puzzle in a couple of minutes, I've never tired of it.

    I was really pleased when they started to produce the cube again and was keen to buy a new one. I bought a new cube and was dismayed to find that the action and build quality was terrible. I actually dug out my remaining original cube to try and see what the difference could be and saw that the original design had little areas where the inner surfaces had open pockets or gaps. I think this was what helped to reduce the drag when turning the faces.

    I ended up exchanging several e-mails with the main 'Rubik's Cube' website and after trying to say that their product was as good as the original, they eventually admitted that their new cube was different. They said that they had stopped leaving these little gaps/pockets due to the risk of small children sticking their fingers in and thereafter being hurt. I personally think that this is utter nonsense.

    Anyway, I ended up checking out cubes on ebay and managed to get an original 80's cube in mint condition for under ten pounds. When it arrived, it really was like being introduced to an old friend. 'Tight' 'Clicky' but smooth as silk. A total contrast to the terrible ones that are being sold as the official cube.

    I've actually just ordered another 'Rubik's Cube' from another site which says that they get their cubes from a factory in Hungary which is still under the control of the inventor Mr. Erno Rubik. I am very hopeful that it will be as good as his original cube was.

    This review is from: Original Rubik's Cube (Toy)
    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.

    This review is from: Original Rubik's Cube (Toy)
    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.
