- slower turning

And if you look at the reviews for this Retro Edition, most of the complains are "awful turning", "roughest turning cube", "does not turn smoothly", "Gets stuck and jammed at nearly every turn" etc.

If someone is trying to use this to get the fastest time, this is not the Rubik's Cube for you.

As someone stated in review, this is a collectible that just meant to sit on your shelf and not try to solve this as fast as they could.

You are much better off with the non-Rubik's brand - speed cube. Smoother turns, thus less frustrations for beginners and advance users alike. Some use magnets to interlock each turn in place.

China knockoffs are smoother and better to use. This one is designed for displaying. (The original is too since it's also crunchy)
