Rubik’s Cube, Original 3x3 Cube with Removable Stickers for Customization in Fun Patterns, Problem-Solving Brain Teaser, Classic Color-Matching Puzzle, Fidget Toy, Sensory Puzzle for Ages 8 & Up

(Quick Summary: I highly recommend this cube for beginners or for just anyone who wants a fun little puzzle that they can throw on their shelf in a home or office to use as a conversation starter. The cube is sturdy and of course it has the nostalgia of being an actual Rubik’s cube.)Now, of course by my title, you should understand that this is NOT a speed cube. So if you plan on buying this in hopes to beat a record or improve your speed cubing time, I wouldn’t recommend it.NOW… with that being said. The cube is actually built very well in my opinion. Compared to the old and other “sticker” versions, this cube is actually turns very well. I label it a sticker version only because that’s what I’ve seen others label it as. However, it doesn’t actually use stickers. The cube uses tiles in place of stickers. So, you don’t have to worry about them peeling over time or fading.Next on the checklist is its ease of movement/speed and its ease of use. Like I said.. it isn’t built like your average speed cube. However, it actually is very good considering the fact that it isn’t built the same way as all of the others. You can actually modify this cube. Under the center tile on each side, if you pull off that tile, you can use a screw driver to tighten or loosen the cube to make it a little bit more personalized to how you “cube.”With all of this in mind, I would say that this cube would be great for beginners interested in just learning how to solve a cube, or just as a small gift to give your kid just to let them mess with, as it is something different and also allows them to exercise their brains while trying to solve it. The cube is very sturdy unless you loosen it up too much, then the cube will pop a corner off if you turn to hard/fast on a corner cut. This cube would also be great just to buy for yourself, just to mess with, or even just to throw on your shelf in your home or in your office at work. It’s actually a super cool/fun conversation starter. Non cubers literally always come ask me if I can solve a cube when they see me messing around with mine. They always end up mind blown when I solve it in front of them. lol

The Rubik’s Cube 50th Anniversary Edition is a fantastic tribute to the original puzzle. The colors are vibrant, and the cube feels smooth and sturdy in hand. It’s challenging enough to keep both kids and adults engaged, making it perfect for brain exercise and stress relief. The retro design adds a cool nostalgic vibe that any Rubik’s fan will appreciate. A great gift and a must-have for puzzle lovers!

The 50th anniversary cube is just a cute novelty item,it looks great but built cheap to replicate the original's janky nature, super hard to turn.You could practice on this if you really wanted to, i think it's better as 1980s memorabilia decoration/conversation piece.

I recently purchased the Rubik's Crystal and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed! As an avid puzzle enthusiast, I've encountered various iterations of the Rubik's Cube, but the Crystal version stands out magnificently.First off, the transparent design is a game-changer. Not only does it add a layer of sophistication and modernity to the iconic cube, but it also provides an intriguing look into the inner workings of the puzzle, something that puzzle lovers can really appreciate.The movement of the cube is seamless, with each turn feeling smooth and secure. The build quality is excellent, ensuring that even after multiple solves, the cube maintains its integrity and the colors remain as vibrant as ever, thanks to the internal color blocks instead of traditional stickers.Solving the Rubik's Crystal poses a unique challenge as the transparent nature can initially throw off your perception, making it an exciting new challenge for those used to the standard cube. It's like seeing an old friend with a new personality trait.As a display piece, the Rubik's Crystal is absolutely stunning. It catches the light beautifully, making it a conversation starter when placed on a desk or shelf. It's not just a puzzle; it's a piece of art.To sum up, the Rubik's Crystal is a must-have for both puzzle enthusiasts and those looking for a stylish twist on a classic brain teaser. It's a solid 5-star product that combines challenge, beauty, and high-quality craftsmanship. Whether you're looking to expand your collection or just wanting a cool new puzzle to solve, the Rubik's Crystal will not disappoint!

I love the retro packaging and the fact that they made the white side gold for the 50th anniversary. I was able to remove the cube, play with it, and get it back in the package for display. The band on the bottom can be peeled off and stuck back on. Its like peeling the label off of a water bottle. The cube itself seems a bit easier to turn than the original, but for me its been 50 years ...One star off because Amazon pastes on their own large product identification sticker to the plastic dome which is very difficult to clean off. Be aware of this if you are buying it for display.

The 50th Anniversary Rubik’s Cube is a beautiful tribute to the iconic puzzle. The design is sleek and eye-catching, making it a standout piece in any collection. The gold accents and premium packaging give it a special, commemorative feel that really honors the cube’s legacy.That said, this cube turns much like the original classic—stiff and not ideal for speed solving. It doesn’t have the smooth, corner-cutting performance of modern speed cubes. So if you're buying this for casual solving or display, it’s perfect. But if you're looking for performance, you’ll want to stick with a dedicated speed cube.Overall, a must-have for collectors and fans of the Rubik’s Cube, just don’t expect high-end functionality. I got this cube to add to my collection, not to solve all the time. So its perfect for me!
