Having been collecting puzzles on and off since my Rubik Clock in 1988, I have a massed a rather poor collection; although having now started using eBay my puzzle collection is rapidly growing!

Gotta dash, I'm off to a car boot sale!!

2X2X2

Harry Potter Larger than the average 2x2x2.

Rubik's Pocket Cube A nice twist (!) on the original Rubik Cube. Great for helping beginners get the grasp of the cube in a nice simple way!

3X3X3

Bandaged Cube A modified version of the classic Cube, giving more hours of twisting pleasure!

Jumbo Magic Cube This is huge (penny to show relative size). It is larger than a 4x4x4 or 5x5x5. A normal 3x3x3 is 2.25 inches wide but this puzzle is 3.5 inches wide. NOTE > These are usually stiff as hell!

Magic Cube All stickers are reflective with a glitter like surface.

Magic Cube One of many Rubik Cube copies. Slightly stiff at first but a dab of Petroleum Jelly soon helps! Why waste good Cube Lube on a cheap cube?
