Finally its here Got my hands on 3X3 Hasbro Rubik's Cube. Imported by Funskool , Manufactured by Hasbro Far East. Hasbro is the same company which makes original Transformers toys.

The quality is awesome.. I havent used such a smooth cube from the past 2 yrs. the cube is very smooth and can even be manupulated in one hand. No need of talcum powder to make it smooth. The stickers are also of good quality. One negative thing abt this cube is that the cube tension cannot be adjusted . anyway its still smooth and im satisfied .

The cost.. well its Rs. 225 /-. My friend said he bought it from Spencer in Chennai.

3x3s are easy man. 4x4s make you suffer.

I bought mine from a local store(Pai & Co).Its written Hasbro,but no Funschool branding(Milton & Bradley).Looks a bit different from(the white centre piece shows a larger rubik's cube) the image shown in the link u gave. Is much faster than what i had previously(rs 20 cubes,can easily do the "trigger moves",but sometimes a small stucking problem), but even after lubrication with vaseline,its not very fast.Also my stickers degraded pretty fast(may be due to lubing).

Do u know a place where one can buy a better lubricant(jig-a-loo or silicone) and stickers?.If silicone,which brand is good?.
Any suggestions anyone?
