Rubix cube

^CwAzY^ · 27-01-2003 11:55am #1

Does anyone know where I can find one of these in Dublin as I've been looking for one for weeks with no luck. I've tried the major toy shops in town and in Blanchardstown Centre.
Anybody?
Thanks

Smyths, don't know where they are located in Dublin but that's where I got mine. they stock the 3x3 and the 2x2 and loads of other Rubix games

I tried smyths in Blanchardstown but they only had the ones with stars on them, I'm looking for an original one

I'll try Smyths in town I guess..
Thanks

My grandmother had a rubix cube and whenever we'd go and visit her I'd just go and sit down and play with it all day.. never did get it though.

Did you ever finish it?

I remember I just could not do it. Persuaded my mum to buy me one of those books that basically told you how to do it and still I couldnt fathom it out.

Ended up taking the stickers off and resticking them so that it looked like I'd managed it.

How sad.

I remember the Evening Press (remember that ??) had an all comers competition in Jurys hotel, one Weekend. My dad brought me out, and we queued for hours, and when it was my turn at the table, I was annihilated - and it still took me 55 seconds to do it.

ahhhhh, the memories, the humiliation........damn evil cube

let me refresh as i would like to get one. i bought it yesterday in 2 euro shop. it came with a small rubix cube key fob. however both of them are broken now. not because of my nerves. the rotation was tough - a crap i'd say. no way a few yr old child might be able to play with. therefore i'm looking for sth real good. high quality. made of steel, even. i can find one at ebay but if any of u lads know where i can find it in Cork, i'd be thankful.

Alder this thread was first posted in 2003. He probably found one. I'll bet he never solved it though.
