3.0 out of 5 stars The Junior Cube, January 20, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Rubik's Junior Puzzle (Toy)

I'm a fan of Rubik's cubes of all shapes and sizes, and can complete the 3x3x3 cube in about 2 minutes. I wanted to complete my collection by buying the Pocket Cube, Rubik's Revenge, and the Professor Cube. Unfortunately, the Pocket Cube is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find in any stores, so I bought the Jr. Cube and ordered some new stickers to make it a pocket cube.

It is a great product for only $5. However, there was one side that was incredibly hard to turn, which makes my rating go from 5 to 3. I'd love to take it apart and lube it or something, but there are no websites or anything on how to take it apart safely.

The purpose of the Jr. Cube is not completely fulfilled. They say it is 'easier' than the Rubik's cube, but it is actually very hard, because I could never tell what was supposed to go where because there were only two colors. Also, that monkey is very ugly.

Overall, it's great for the cheap price it comes with, though the quality isn't the best and I hate how it doesn't just come with the classic 6-colored sides.

This review is from: Rubik's Junior Puzzle (Toy)

I didn't realize that 3 sides of this Junior Rubik's cube were the same color. I was just looking for a regular 2 x 2 Rubik's cube with 6 different colors. I didn't realize this until I opened the package. I wanted to return the product but when I considered the shipping costs and the restocking fee, it doesn't pay to return it. The description of the product should have been clearer about 3 sides being the same color.

This review is from: Rubik's Junior Puzzle (Toy)

This is an excellent starter cube. The 2x2 is perfect for training aspiring cubers on cubing fundamentals without all the intimidation that comes with your first spin of a 3x3.

A 2x2 is challenging enough for the amateur cuber to keep him occupied, building up just enough confidence for the aspiring cuber to not be fully intimidated by the 3x3.

I recommend this cube to all the kids I meet at tournaments.
