Hi all, this is driving me mad now, been trying to find a shop that sells the Rubik's revenge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Revenge), thats the one that has 16 cubes per face, I saw one the other week in ToyWorld, they're now in the hands of the receivers and all shops are closed :(

Been all over the place looking but no joy, really want this cube but want to buy it over the counter and not online ( if possible ) also would have to be a national line of shops, need something in the Teesside area.

Thanks for any advice on where to get my hands on one of these :tu:

No joy at our local one, out of stock and not sure if they're getting any more :( Might look at further afield Toysrus stores :tu:

Had one of those years ago (probably still in a box somewhere). A lot more difficult than standard RC (and I only solved that with a little help ;)
'fraid I can't help with where to get one now tho.

Thanks mate, hoping that it is a bit more than the 3x3 as ( not bragging ) but have that down to well under 3 minutes and improving daily, need something to get my teeth into :D

Is the rubik's clock still available?
I always liked the magic.

I was the only one around me that could do the clock ;)

I will build up to that after the revenge ;)

Watched a video yesterday of a guy doing the 20x20x20 took 4 and a half hours, way clever :D

I'd do a half turn, then a turn in another direction, split the pieces and put it back together properly.
Wouldn't take me 4 and a half hours :D

I've had to do that on my 3x3x3, only because it came apart whilst in use, honest ;)

Anywho, just notched up a new personal best, 2 mins 15 seconds :hyper: :D

Wait until I split it and vaseline all the moving parts, greased lightning :D

I've got some silicone spray that may do a better job...

Well the cube's been vased for a week, new personal best of 1 minute 23 seconds :D

Now trying to get to grips with a skewb (http://www.geocities.com/jaapsch/puzzles/skewb.htm) ................. totally different, frustration ain't the word :confused: :dozey: :D
