DIY cube, bought at Anchopoint.

I went to Anchorpoint yesterday, and I came across this shop called Bloomington Greeting. It is at #B1-34. There are many interesting things over there, including (but not limited to) boardgames and Rubik’s cube. I’m the Boss cost $69.90. There are also many types of cubes. Besides Rubik brand, there are also a number of other “brandless” DIY cubes. Some of them are colored semi translucent, while the others are colored (blue, green, green, black, …).

The price varies with colors. I bought a white color cube. It came with a plastic bag, 1 cube, 1 set of stickers (orange green, yellow, red, blue, white, and black), and 6 center face covers. It cost me $9.90. I also bought an extra set of sticker ($1.50) for my old cube. This is also a brandless sticker. Rubik brand sticker cost $2.50.

This DIY brandless cube cost the same as the normal Rubik cube, but the quality is better! Those Rubik brand DIY cubes cost more then $19 each. This brandless cube is already very smooth, no need 30 rounds of cubbing to smooth it out. I don’t think I will be lubbing it anytime soon. The spring is looser, you can adjust it if you want.
