I "LOVE" it.

Chris from Green Bay, WI

Ok, I know alot of people have made reviews saying how it falls apart or the stickers come off easily. I'm sorry but the stickers don't come off that easily, that's just not true. It sounds alot like people buy it and give it to someone who scrambles it and takes the stickers off and puts them back on in correct order. As for it falling apart, well it is true that if you really try to turn it hard while it's not properly aligned, that will likely happen. Me however, I've had this thing for 1 day so far and I've beaten it "3 times" already (no cheating) and no stickers are even close to peeling and it hasn't busted on me once. Stickers do start to peel after a month or even a few weeks of good use though. Please take note that turning the very outter layers isn't always smooth, and if not held properly it does droop a little. If you have an overwhelming love for the Rubik's Cube like I do, you won't even care about it. It is a MUST have in my opinion.On a side note, it is a bad idea to … Read more

Almost perfect

Khan from Santee, Ca

This is great for those tired of solving the 3x3 for the 8 millionth time. Once you learn to solve it, it's still fun going through all the motions to solve it. The stickers are really bad, though. Within a day they were peeling up really bad on the edges. I replaced them with vinyl stickers (search for the word "cubesmith") and the new stickers are holding up perfect. Read more

The next step up.

College Student from Nevada

Just what I wanted from the next cube in line after the Rubik's Revenge. The cube turns very well, but that is also a problem, as the internal screws allow the whole cube to bow and lean almost a whole half a centimetre in non-cardinal directions. Its about the same size as the Revenge for a relative comparison for those wanting to know. Due to the small size of the cube, the cubies are pretty tiny. The cube RARELY locks up on turns, unlike its predecessor. Quite a challenge to solve, and incredibly time-consuming. I would definitely recommend this cube for those that just want to have a go at the 555 but don't want to spend large amounts money or buy from other countries. The ToysRUs cube still gets the job done great. And watch for those annoying tredges parities! ughh! Read more

Amazing cube

Hayden from Georgia

I'm a little rough with my cubes, seeing I try to solve them very fast, and this cube is perfect for me. It's quite durable, doesn't break or pop too easily. Sometimes the middle pieces will twist, but just have to wiggle it a bit back in place. A big downfall is that at first, it's hard to turn to outer sides, but with a little breaking it in, or silicone, it turns incredibly smooth and fast. Main problem with this cube is that the stickers started to peel a bit after a week or two. Also, the corner pieces are very fragile. Be careful if you're putting it in a bookbag or suitcase or anything like that, because it will snap off. Read more

they just can't put it down

Julie the missionary mom from Las Vegas, NV

My son had just gotten as a gift the 4x4 rubik's cube, and was so excited to have mastered it,and was curious as to whether he had figured out the 5x5 also known as professor cube without having touched one. I came to the website and found one. He had it mastered immediately. When he called his older brother-in-law who had originally taught him how to do the original 3x3 cube, he was so excited to be teaching him how to deal with the 5x5. Nobody can put it down until they have it mastered. Read more
