I just got this and regret it. The quality is pure trash. It's not even fun trying to solve it, just frustrating because it keeps getting stuck. Listen to the previous posts about getting a speed cube.

One to two months shipping? It's not even Thanksgiving and no guaranteed delivery by Christmas?

Makes for a great display piece but not for actual play. The stickers are not aligned correctly and peeling off. I would avoid this if you're anticipating on actually playing with it

If you want to really use the cube then get a speed cube, these ones are no good

Completely agree. Even at just $5 I completely regret the purchase. Having experienced cheap (under $12) but decent speed cubes, this Anniversary cube is absolutely no fun at all to solve.

If you're not competitive just get one of the sticker less speed cubes under $10. The rubik cubes have a horrible amount of friction.

So this is my area of expertise. This cube has a different color arrangement - with yellow opposite of white. This was the original color scheme. At some point it ws switched t blue opposite white - the standard today.

In 1982 I saw the Cube contest on That's Incredible. I had never seen one before. So I drove my bike through the slush to buy one. I bought one and that is all I did for 3 or 4 weeks until I figured it out.

A little over 10 months later I was on That's Incredible for the next year's contest. It was a very cool time for me. After the airing, everyone knew who I was in my area.

Back then the cubes sucked compared to today's cubes. I am sure this one sucks - stiff and no cut corners.. All Rubik's Cube branded cubes suck.

My kids buy cubes for $1 for their Cube Class they run. These are 10X better than what we had.

Unless you are focused on speed and are under 15 seconds, the $1 cube is fine.

I just returned this one, very difficult to use with low friction.
