Toys and Games Reviews of Rubik's Cube
Customer Review: Too stiff!
Summary: 3 Stars
For a toy this specific, there isn't much to say- everyone knows what a Rubik's Cube is and what it does. I only have one gripe. It's uncomfortably stiff. There is a somewhat easy solution-Vaseline! Just break apart each corner of the cube, grease it up and put the pieces back together. It works MUCH better now, but will probably need to reapply every few months depending on how often you play with the cube.
Quality wise it is certainly not as durable as the more expensive ones, but for the price, it will do I guess.
Customer Review: bought two, both crappy

I'm just a beginner, and even I can feel how stiff and narrow this thing is when you try to rotate a face. I could be doing it wrong, but the cube gets all crooked when I spin a face quickly. You have to align the cube just right to get this darn thing to turn, otherwise, it'll get stuck in position. Even forcing it will make the cube feel like the corner piece will break off. I tried using spray, but it did not make a difference. Works sort of okay for beginners like me, but totally not recommended for speed cubers.Customer Review: What's not to like?

The Rubik's Cube is one of the most popular all around hobbies that most kids use. I bought one last year, but i took it apart and it broke (100% my fault), so I thought I'd get another one, since I had so much fun with my last one. I am 13 years old and I used to play video games but now I can't and I don't have cable television, so this is the next best entertainment form I can have. If you are looking for a fun, cheap, and durable (unless you take it apart and break it =]) toy, this is the one to get!Customer Review: Quit whining
Summary: 5 Stars
I have over 20 cubes. Almost all the Rubik's brand.
Eventually, the stickers do peel off. There are two ways to help you with this.
1. Buy new stickers
2. Get some clear nail polish, and paint a tiny bit around the edges of the stickers.
Anyway. I think that the cube is the best toy/game/puzzle ever made. It's something anyone can have fun with. It's a great thing to have around the house. Afterall, who can look at a scrambled cube and NOT twist it around some?
Customer Review: acceptable
Summary: 5 Stars
This cube is fine, though you should lube it with silicon to make it go faster (many people don't realize that cubes that are stiff are actually good quality-for all cubes, you're suppose to turn it for around a week and then lube it. As for complaints about stickers, the turners probably did it themselves with their fingernails.)
it's addicting, and i do it a lot, with avg times of ranging from 23-29 seconds (though World avg record is around 11 secs...still practicing..)
