 Variable quality January 4, 2008

I have received two of these, two years apart. The first was very stiff and creaky, and by the time it had loosened up the stickers were lifting.
The second was slick right out of the box and a joy to use. It still looks new many months later.
Either this means that quality problems have been put right, or that quality is highly variable. I am assuming for former, because for me the glass is always half full.
As for the cube itself, it is a classic and every home should have one, if only so that a dorky visitor can prove his (or occasionally her) cubing prowess.
Three stars or five stars, depending on quality.
 How the hell are you supposed to do it!? September 1, 2007

In all the years I have had a Rubik`s cube I have never once neared its completion. I have a friend who`s best time on it was something like 2 or 3 minuets, but he`s a bloody genius compared to just about everyone I know. If you are even slightly thick in the head [kinda` like me (he he)] than this is most definatley NOT the puzzle for you. It is kind of satisfying to have an origonal Rubik`s cube [you can tell this by the centeral square`s trademark], but if you are not a cmoplete loony willing to spend hours trying to work the thing out, then why bother to buy it? I wouldn`t take the trouble of ordering this online because all toy shops sell these. Also, here it is rather more expensive than in some good toy shops. At least you can cheat with the stickers though! Anyway, this is definately a no-buy from Amazon, and if you take my word for it, a no-buy in general.
Classic, innocent, 80s fun! June 7, 2007

The Rubiks Cube is a living piece of toy history. Not only is it a classic puzzle, it has become a style icon that represents the 80s.
A simple cube with different colours on each of it's 6 sides. What you do is mix up the colours by turning the various moving sides, and then try to get the colours back to their original side. Sounds simple enough, anybody can do one side or two, but then as you try to do more one little move erases your work on another side! This is the simple beauty of the cube. If you can do the whole thing it might reveal if you are a genius. Its fun and its frustrating that at times makes me want to throw it at the wall! Yet there is a little bit of magic about it that keeps me trying to unravel its mysteries.
I loved the early 80s when this was big May 26, 2007

For me, this was one of the best toys ever invented. The concept is very simple, but the combinations run into the zillions, which means that you can't solve it by chance.
However, one can have fun working out how to solve it, then once you've done that, impress your mates by applying the same principles over and over again. There isn't that much to remember once you know how.
The main problem is in the mechanism and the stickers. These things don't last forever, and can start falling about once they've been played with quite a lot. Also, I have experienced the paint fading on some of the stickers. So it could be much more durable than it is.
However, this is definitely one of my all time favourite toys.
