I bought my rubik's cube from amazon just over a month ago for about £6. The item is the official item which comes in quite a unnecessarily plastic large box. Included in the box is the cube, a small plastic stand and a brief leaflet to help you complete the puzzle.The cube is the traditional colours of red, blue, green, yellow, orange and white. The colours are stickers on the black plastic construction. This isn't the best idea because the stickers were not all carefully placed, which is disapointing because it makes it look a bit cheap. Another problem i have, is that if you catch the corner of the stickers, it creases and will never look the same as when it is new.However, the game,

A lazy lockdown Sunday saw me flicking through the documentary section of Netflix where I chanced upon a doc called 'The Speed Cubers' - essentially about the world of competitive Rubik's Cube. I know, it sounds dull, but MAN it was rivoting!In fact, I was so taken by the doc that I hopped on Amazon and ordered a cube.Now, as a child growing up in deepest darkest North East England, and pre-Nintendo, I had a cube. Couldn't ever complete it. In fact, I recall scratching off the stickers and replacing them...Anyway, the cube came next day, and within minutes I was sat watching the TV, cube in hand, twisting, turning, rotating, and getting nowhere. Brilliant!

For years I have marvelled at how people could pick up a cube and solve it - so like many others, decided to purchase one and get that bucket list item ticked off my list!So - firstly, the cube is completely original. It surprised me as its been years since I have toyed with a Rubiks Cube and I remember the stickers and clunky feel of the older type. This new generation however was a pleasant surprise, it is stickless and glides with ease (although I would doubt it's good enough for a complete speed solve).Fits snug in the hand, turns and moves easily and no clunky crunching or pieces flying out!!And yes - I have already learned how to solve and although my time sucks,

The original Rubik's cube. First and foremost, I loved it as a child and wanted a fresh one to try my hand at and dust off some old hard learnt skills. The build quality - when in comparison to others - is rather good. Smooth twists and turns and it feel as if it can take quite the strain when trying to beat an old record. It also comes with a stand included which provides good incentive, I mean who wants to look at an unfinished Rubik's cube without giving it a try. It came neatly inside a standard plastic sealed container and nothing from what I can discern damaged it during shipping. All in all, a wonderful product sold at a high standard and I'd be at a loss if I couldn't find a Rubik's cube as good as this one.

I remember back in the 80's when this was a huge craze and everyone owned one, including myself and if you got frustrated by not completing it, you could easily remove the stickeres and place them in their correct places.Now jump 40 years ahead and today's Rubik's Cube is even better. With coloured tiles that cannot be removed to complete the puzzle and more easy to rotate compared to the stiffness of the cubes back in the 80's.Can I complete the puzzle? I could do it within 2 minutes 40 years ago but today, I have got as far as completing the white "Top face" and "T" on all the sides. Just need to complete the remaining edges and bottom corners.I would definately recommend this Original Rubik's Cube,

Got this "Original Rubik" cube today and it seems to be vary good, well built but a little stiff to operate, though I guess that's down to it being new. It comes with a little plastic stand but, as other customers have pointed out, it doesn't come with any solution guide at all!! However, you can go to the website and download it in pdf format. I remember these cubes from my childhood but have to be honest and say I can't remember the quality of them back then so can't compare it with this modern one to corroborate other reviewer's remarks about it being inferior to the original release. It has stickers on each cube to provide the colours which, as I have seen from these cube, do wear off after a while.

Cube came in the plastic packaging you see in the picture with no damage or marks on it. The packaging itself is quite tricky to remove without scratching the coloured squares on the cube. I managed to scratch one of the squares slightly but that's my fault for being heavy handed. The good news is that the coloured square isn't just a sticker, so the scratch didn't remove any colour.The quality of the cube itself is "ok" - It's a genuine Rubik's cube, but from what I've researched it's not as good quality is the original. The squares don't feel very tight/rigid and as a result the sections sometimes don't line up perfectly, but that's being quite picky.

Daughter was disappointed with a cube she won recently from a fun fair, look mummy a real Rubix cube, except is was of course a rubbish cube she coudlnt even move, so to clear away the tears this was ordered and arrived the next day, its proper quality, no poorly fitted stickers on this bad boy, the colours are pressed in hard wearing plastic colour squares that wont wear out, the thing moves so nicely and easily, its a total pleasure to use, I still cant complete the puzzle but then thats most of the fun of it, leave it on the shelf as a lovely 80s retro ornament and pick it up when you want to play with the original fidget spinner.

I bought this cube years ago and still have it. To be fair, I don't use it very much anymore.The stickers do get a little unstuck after a while and it definitely loosens up - but I like the looseness. I posted my fasted time on this cube. A lot of the time I just think whatever you're used to works best. I never had an original 80s cube so I can't compare but this has been my favourite to use from all the modern cubes I've tried.From the sounds of the reviews here, I've you've had an original maybe this isn't the one for you. If, like me, you haven't then you might as well give this one a shot.

When it arrived, the product was not as described.There was no solution guide or 'additional games' booklet.Because the one page (and product description) is for the Rubik's Cube provided by more than one supplier, it appears that they may not be supplying the same item exactly. The 7 images I found on the page, showed 2 different types of packaging - the one that I receive was neither of these.So you can really only be certain of getting the Rubik's Cube.However, note that you can download solutions from various web sites including 'rubiks.com'.Apart from that the product was very good.

Officially branded Rubik's Cube - as expected.A lot of reviews on here talk about fake/shoddy cubes - people rarely seem to understand how Amazon works... It's a Market place; you have lots of sellers selling the same item.If you get a poor quality/fake product then that it's not this product, it's the seller - instead of rating this 1 star and confusing potential buyers, you need to speak to the seller and rate them accordingly.I got mine from Smart Dealz Ltd (it wasn't the cheapest, but it was the cheapest that did Prime delivery) and it's an official cube.

The good thing is that there are no stickers. Instead, it has coloured plastic tiles embedded into the black plastic cubes. Every other stickerless cube that I can find is just solid colours with no black outlines, which I don't like the look of, so this one is good to see. That also means it will last a long time. It's very well-made.But if you are one of these people who wants the fastest, loosest cube that will shave seconds off your solving times, then you need something else. This one is not it. It's for casual people who just want to enjoy the puzzle.

I bought this as the cheaper version I had bought was getting very noisy and was too loose when trying to solve quickly ( trying to get below 2 minutes) but I find this cube just as noisy and loose ( no way as bad as the cheaper version for excess movement) but I had hoped it would had been easier to flick and stop rotation but it can get itself out of line very easily.Great toy, like the no sticker feel, just wish it was a bit firmer.

My son is very happy with it. Would not really recommend it for younger children. This has kept my son busy for days and he easily gets bored. I would strongly recommmend it being used in conjunction with an online solution as trying to figure it out by yourself is very difficult. The top layer only can be done without using the solution, in my view. The solution itself is so difficult that parts of it has actually got its own name!

This product is very good. It is an original Rubik's cube straight from the factory. Please note that the Rubik's cube does not come in the packaging seen in the picture and also if you are thinking of buying this Rubik's cue to do timing things with it I would not recommend it as the cube can be quite stiff at first! However for people that are new to the Rubik's cube it is the perfect one to buy (it also came really quickly)!
