Rubik's Cube, Re-Cube, The Original 3x3 Cube Made with 100% Recycled Plastic, Problem-Solving Brain Teaser, Color-Matching Puzzle, Fidget Toy & Sensory Puzzle, Easter Basket Stuffers, for Ages 8+

I only bought the product as a conversation piece. It looks very nice and is in a nice little display case. I’ve watched review videos on YouTube of the cube being used and can very assuredly say that I don’t recommend this product for actual use. It turns very rough and is basically a clunky as the original Rubik’s Cube. So, with this being said, I’m sure you can piece together that the speed of the cube is absolutely terrible because of this. Again, this cube is more on the lines made to put on your shelf as a conversation piece and a little nostalgia.. so the functionality of this cube is nonexistent lol. From the video reviews I’ve watched, the product doesn’t seem like it was built to actually be used, so the sturdiness isn’t very good. Unless you’re talking about the case. The case is very well made and will definitely protect your cube, considering the case is unopened. I would say this product probably won’t be fun for kids, as again.. it (in my opinion) was made for display purposes only. I highly recommend the product for anyone wanting to fill in that last little space on your office desk/shelf. Great conversation starter and had a nice nostalgic feel, when looking at it in its case.

PROS:1. Inexpensive.2. Stand is a nice bonus for display. People who come to my house, will always pick it up and play with it when they see it.3. Perfect for hours, days, even months of fun...definitely the best investment for the money.4. High quality. I have been using it for months now and it is still working great (though the "Rubik's Cube symbol" on the center white square is starting to fade off).CONS:1. Not really a con, but while this is a super smooth cube, it is not a speed-cube like that you see real experts use. You can easily make it into a speed cube for the best solving times by using it a lot and using silicone lubricant spray to make it really slippery.2. Again, not really a con, but the white center has a "Rubik's Cube" emblem and that is starting to fade off after months of use. It does not affect the functionality of the cube itself.3. Again, a non-con, but in certain low light situations, I find it difficult to differentiate the yellow pieces from the white pieces. Under low yellow (warm) light, the white looks more yellowish and that makes the two colors hard to tell apart. Just remember to solve the cube in decent lighting and this is not a problem (unless you can do it blindfolded, in which case, it is definitely not a problem).It's been a long time since first solved the cube. I still have my older one but it is a mess now...very sticky and difficult to move the pieces. I wanted a "speed cube" and though this isn't it, it is pretty darn close. The more you use it the smoother and quicker it gets. A little silicone spray also did wonders and it is fast and easy to move. I don't do the modified CFOP technique for the best times (all speed-cubers use it but I simply don't have the time to memorize 100+ algorithms right now...maybe later), but slowly and surely the old basic system/technique I developed in the late 70's or early 80's (I don't remember exactly when...I was just a kid back then) came back to me and I can solve the cube using that method in under 1 minute now. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants something to play with, challenge themselves to try to get better and better times, and, in general, have hours of fun for as little money as possible. This is definitely the best investment (for a money/time value) I have made in decades. Just think about it. Most games, you get tired of in a couple of hours. Most video games last one day. Some really good ones last a week and some online games that are constantly upgraded last longer, but you pay through your nose for those games. For a just a few bucks, this is a toy you can play with for hours, days, weeks, months on end...again, the best entertainment investment you can have. Challenge your friends to beat your scores...everyone who is new to my house and sees the cube immediately start playing with it and eventually ask if I can do it and when I say yes, they want me to because they are still amazed at how someone can solve it. This is a definite buy! Go for it!

Good quality. Fun. Amazon had great price on this anniversary edition. I paid $5. Brings back memories.

Amazing item! Must have for a Rubik’s cube lover. Little thing hand stand is fantastic. Delivery could have been better. Box was crushed so can’t be used as a collector item. Functions just as smooth if not better than a regular cube.

Smooth movement smaller size than the standard cube. The shiny clear design may make it harder for speed cube solving than a traditional cube. It’s a little expensive compared to the basic cube especially for its size. If you have a little girl who loves shiny things this is perfect. If you’re looking to enjoy learning the Rubik’s .. go with the original.

It’s just a basic Rubik’s cube so there’s not much to say about it, the only thing I really liked about it was the colors just wish it was a speed cube. All I can really say is its a Rubik’s cube, you either love it or your pulling your hair out trying to solve it for the first time lol.

Great quality with smooth movement. Quiet use

I recently purchased the Rubik's Crystal and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed! As an avid puzzle enthusiast, I've encountered various iterations of the Rubik's Cube, but the Crystal version stands out magnificently.First off, the transparent design is a game-changer. Not only does it add a layer of sophistication and modernity to the iconic cube, but it also provides an intriguing look into the inner workings of the puzzle, something that puzzle lovers can really appreciate.The movement of the cube is seamless, with each turn feeling smooth and secure. The build quality is excellent, ensuring that even after multiple solves, the cube maintains its integrity and the colors remain as vibrant as ever, thanks to the internal color blocks instead of traditional stickers.Solving the Rubik's Crystal poses a unique challenge as the transparent nature can initially throw off your perception, making it an exciting new challenge for those used to the standard cube. It's like seeing an old friend with a new personality trait.As a display piece, the Rubik's Crystal is absolutely stunning. It catches the light beautifully, making it a conversation starter when placed on a desk or shelf. It's not just a puzzle; it's a piece of art.To sum up, the Rubik's Crystal is a must-have for both puzzle enthusiasts and those looking for a stylish twist on a classic brain teaser. It's a solid 5-star product that combines challenge, beauty, and high-quality craftsmanship. Whether you're looking to expand your collection or just wanting a cool new puzzle to solve, the Rubik's Crystal will not disappoint!
