Rubik’s Cube, Special Retro 50th Anniversary Edition, Original 3x3 Colour-Matching Puzzle Classic Problem-Solving Challenging Brain Teaser Fidget Toy, for Adults and Kids Aged 8+

My great-nephew was pleased he got an anniversary edition. He thought it was really cool and didn't mind that it is harder to turn than some newer ones. The outer plastic box marked 50 years is rather flimsy. The anniversary edition's should have been more solid.

What a great cube. I love that it’s for the 50th anniversary of the Rubik’s cube. It looks great, with shiny gold on one side! Great value for money as I bought this when it was on offer. Comes in a nice little clear plastic tub so looks good. Easy to turn the cube and it’s the normal size of a Rubik’s cube. Really pleased with it.

I have been a Rubik’s Cube fan for 40 years and have an original 1980’s one as well as various others. Saw this 50th Anniversary version advertised as a retro version as per the original and ordered it as an addition to my collection. I don’t intend to use it very much as I have others to use. But I am very pleased with it I have to say. Authentic looking box and the cube has the same feel and movement as the original…just a bit clunky! But that’s a good thing! Has stickers also instead of the more modern plastic colours. It does look and feel very much like the original so if that’s what you want, it’s great! Love it!

The build quality of this 50th anniversary edition is awful. I had an original Rubik’s cube when they first came out and it was far smoother to turn than this one. I’m not convinced it’s not a fake. It’s so stiff. Quite disappointing. But I guess to get what you pay for. I can’t really recommend this particular one. Sorry So to update I brought the (new) original Rubik cube from another source. It’s like night and day to this one. I think the one I have is almost definitely a fake. The other one moves almost effortlessly. This one is quite frankly a complete pain, snagging and I think if you were a child, you might actually not be able to move it in a way that would allow you to solve it and be engaged with it. I can’t recommend this.

Bought as an early Christmas present for my boy. Arrived when it said it would and he loved it.

I am a big fan of Rubik's cubes, and felt compelled to write this review to counter the clueless 1* reviews that are complaining that it's difficult to turn. *This is a replica of the ORIGINAL cube, it turns like garbage because it's literally the original design* Yes, it's frankly horrible to use because modern cubes, including the modern Rubik's brand ones, turn SO much smoother. But that isn't the point of this product, it's celebrating the 50th anniversary of the cube. So it's primary function is a display piece, but I quite like letting people have a go turning it so they can appreciate how far cube tech has come. Buy a Moyu or Qiyi or GAN or any other speedcube brand if you want a cube that actually turns well. And I know this is "true" to the original because I have an original 1980s cube to compare it to, it's the same.

Had this to collect colours are lovely and looks amazing on display very cheap to on price

I love the design and colours, but it gets stuck easily and no smoothness at all, also it feels that if I keep using it the stickers will come off. It should be advertised as a collectable than for playing.

Good old classic, the time machine cube!

Un clásico, no lo he abierto, es para guardar, pero tiene un aspecto muy bueno..

Ik heb deze gekocht omdat ik het origineel uit 1983 ook nog heb. De combinatie is prachtig, ze zijn qua maatvoering en uitstraling precies hetzelfde. De witte kant van het origineel is nu uitgevoerd in goudkleurige folie. Oh ja, het puzzelen zelf voelt ook precies als 40 jaar geleden.

I only bought the product as a conversation piece. It looks very nice and is in a nice little display case. I’ve watched review videos on YouTube of the cube being used and can very assuredly say that I don’t recommend this product for actual use. It turns very rough and is basically a clunky as the original Rubik’s Cube. So, with this being said, I’m sure you can piece together that the speed of the cube is absolutely terrible because of this. Again, this cube is more on the lines made to put on your shelf as a conversation piece and a little nostalgia.. so the functionality of this cube is nonexistent lol. From the video reviews I’ve watched, the product doesn’t seem like it was built to actually be used, so the sturdiness isn’t very good. Unless you’re talking about the case. The case is very well made and will definitely protect your cube, considering the case is unopened. I would say this product probably won’t be fun for kids, as again.. it (in my opinion) was made for display purposes only. I highly recommend the product for anyone wanting to fill in that last little space on your office desk/shelf. Great conversation starter and had a nice nostalgic feel, when looking at it in its case.

Beautiful and love the gold feature
