Hard to see December 31, 2007 Dorothy Sheffield 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I am slightly disapointed in this cube. It is not as it looks in the picture shown. I bought one of these at a mall. It is much more clear than in the pictures, and is very easy to mix up the colors. It is a good thing to have if you are a collector, but if you are just looking for a good 2x2x2 for speedsolving, I suggest Eastsheen.
Falls apart, cant' put it back together December 31, 2007 Alfredo Jahn (Dallas, TX USA) 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I have lots of 3x3 cubes and can take them apart and put them back together with out too much trouble. I got two of these 2x2 cubes for my kids (10 and 7). The 10 year old can solve the 3x3 in a minute or two, and figured out the 2x2 in a few days. The problem is, both of them broke apart in no time at all. It just popped out into a bunch of pieces. I went on-line to youtube and found a video that shows you how to reassemble it. Problem is, I couldn't get the last piece back it. I tried for about half an hour. Now I have two broken cubes. They should not come apart that easy. I'm going to try and find a "original" 2x2 and see if that one is made better.
Ice cool! September 24, 2007 F Bogarin 24 out of 24 found this review helpful
Overall it's a fun cube to have, especially if you are a Rubik's cube junkie. The fact that is almost transparent enables you to see how it works from the inside. This alone is a cool feature.
However, it doesn't follow the Rubik's cube "color positioning standard":
Yellow opposite to White,
Blue opposite to Green and
Red opposite to Orange.
I don't know if my cube is an isolated case, but in mine, White is opposite to Blue and Green is opposite to Yellow. I didn't notice this until I solve it for the first time. This is not a tragedy, but it would've been nice to match all my cubes in the same way.
The ice-like stand is also very cool. It gives it a very nice look and feel to it.
It moves nice and it looks better. If you have the other cubes (3x3, 4x4 and 5x5), it's a great way to complete the set.
