Rubik's Cube - Where to buy?

Charan · 02-07-2008, 01:00 AM

Guys.. I need a high quality rubiks cube.. all the ones available are really pathetic quality and very cheap .. less than 25 bucks. Where can I find imported rubiks cube? I dont mind spending 500 bucks on imported ones. I tired the reputed toy shop in Brigade Road banglore. but they too stocked the local made ones.. no good

You are creating a collection of Rubick's Cube or doing some research on it or something? If I remember right, you already had 2 with you.

Gigacore · 02-07-2008, 08:35 AM

If you get a good one, play, record and send me the video once again. lol

with speed cubing one can solve the cube in less that 20-25 seconds.. I havent tried speed cubing yet.. But I dont think 1 min is the record for solving the cube blind folded.

Boring to you perhaps. Its got algorithms for solving if you didn't know!

I guess you just tried the 4-colored/sided easy ones

trublu · 02-07-2008, 07:15 PM

^ hey,i've never heard of/seen any 4-sided cube!!!!!

I can only manage to bring one colour on a single side at a time.

Psychosocial · 02-07-2008, 09:23 PM

well i really never tried one

slugger · 02-07-2008, 09:28 PM

i once swapped a few color stickers on a rubik cube a friend was playing with

could he then have been able to solve it?

Charan · 03-07-2008, 12:48 AM

^^ nope.. once the alignment of the pieces change .. one cannot solve it.

linuxg33k · 09-07-2008, 07:58 PM

I bought mine from Crosswords - the bookstore @ Bombay. Check out the toys section for it. They r good quality ones. Made in China n marketed by Funskool. Arnd 200 bucks.

ajayritik · 09-07-2008, 08:07 PM

I remember playing with this when I was a child. Do you all think playing with it again will make me give exercise to my brain cells? If yes then I'm buying one pretty soon!

praka123 · 09-07-2008, 08:09 PM

seems interesting.I never cared for this kind of stuffs

Charan · 09-07-2008, 08:18 PM

Just got a call from my friend in chennai .. he is getting me a Cube from Funskool.. I think he said its abt 250 bucks...

if you are new to Cubing then you will have to think abt making moves and think hard on how to solve it.. once you know how to solve the cube... the subconscious level kicks in and you will solve it with ease..

praka123 · 11-07-2008, 07:08 PM

bought one for Rs50.pathetic quality. thinking of getting a good one from funskool outlet next time when going ernakulam

.
BTW ,just see the Rs400 wala cube :

Friends out here please let me know the benefits of having the rubik's cube even I plan to buy one if it's really worth it. All I need is something to give my brain an exercise.

Its fun and adictive.. when you first buy it .. you will say "how the heck do I solve this".. after you learn how to solve it.. you will say .. damn .. "this cube is adictive"

12-07-2008, 01:53 AM
