The Radica Cube World Global Get A Way isn't nearly as much fun as I thought it would be. Basically, it isn't worth the money spent. We have all of the Cube World people and this item should have been an excellent add on. Unfortunately, there are only a few getaways, so it becomes boring very quickly. The little guys are way more interesting. Stick with them.

I see many reviews for the cube world items that seem to complain about lasting playability. What I think those people seem to be getting wrong is that they think of these devices like normal toys. Cube world is NOT a toy... well it is, but it isn't.

If you're thinking of buying one of these then you need to be in the right mind set. Think of Cube World like those perpetual motion desk devices or magnetic sculptures. You know the ones I mean? Like the five silver balls on swinging wires, the slowly undulating surfer/sailboat on the ocean, lava lamps, or the hundred tiny little metal acrobats on the magnetic black platform.

Personally, I think Cube World is meant for adults and adult-minded children. You'll buy them, be amused for a while watching the funny things they do alone and how they interact when you link them. You'll play the simplistic "tap the button at the right time" games. You'll do this a lot for a few days then you'll sit it on your desk and almost forget about it. When people walk by they'll get curious, pick them up and play for a bit and you'll get amused by their amusement. When you're procrastinating from doing the bills, your homework, that project that has to be in on Monday, you'll pick them up and play with them all over again.

Cube World is not so much a toy as a VERY amusing distraction that you can come back to again and again... like a Rubik's cube.

I purchased one for my husband and one for my 7 year old son. At the time, Amazon had them on sale for under 10 dollars. At that price, this toy is great! It does have sound, and is VERY loud. I put tape over the speaker and that helped, but everyone knows when it's running in the room. (Not so good for my husband to use at work after all.) Large screen much easier to see than the smaller "regular" cube world cubes. My 7 year old would rate this a 7 out of 5 stars for fun, but my husband gave it a 3 or a 4 star fun rating. My father-in-law and kids carried these from house to house Christmas day - they entertained everyone.

When used with other cubes, the characters visit each other, interact, and then return to their original cubes. Very simple graphics, but my boys love to watch the "tv's" as they call them.

If they go on sale again - you've gotta give these a try!

I bought two of these larger cubes for my 4 yr. old grandson so he would have something different to play with after having his tonsils and adenoids out. He simply loves to play with them and when adding them to the little cubes he already has, it makes great entertainment for him and his brothers. All three boys play with them for hours.

This is a great toy. I was very skeptical that it would do what it said but I bought several of these for my grandson for Christmas. They have provided hours of entertainment for him. The little stick figures actually do move from cube to cube "visiting each other". They interact with each other doing all kinds of silly and crazy things and it isn't just the same two or three things being repeated over and over. It was a very good investment and I would recommend this product to anyone looking for something different in a toy.

My kids really wanted this for Christmas and I couldn't find them in any stores. I had gotten them the Cube People last year and we have had such a hoot with them. The batteries are still working!!

Went to Amazon, found these 2 at a reasonable price, had them wrapped and shipped at last minute and Voila! they were under tree on Christmas morning. Cool Gift for those Adults that have everything and fun for kids too.

Bought this for my daughter. She loves the set I got her before but was getting a little bored. When this arrived her interest revved up again.

I must say that all of the Cube World products that I have ordered, have been promptly sent and always received in excellent condition. My grandson, J.C., loves Cube World products and is so excited to get a new for his birthday or Christmas. They really are fun to watch, even for the "older" generation. I'm sure I'll be ordering more, so please keep making new ones!!!

My Grandson has 2 of the other cube worlds, and he was very happy to have another. He has alot of fun playing with them all together.

The toys were for my son. He has collected the first and second series. They never have the third series available in the stores where we lived, so I wanted him to have them to further complete his collection.
