 piece broke off/fell out after 5 min of play. cannot reattach.Feb 14, 2010
A corner piece broke off after 5 min. We have the smaller version of this which is very durable. This one is not. Too much of a hassle and shipping cost to return. Perhaps this item should not be made if it can't hold up to 5 min.

the cube was extremely difficult to maneuver. it kept getting stuck and ended up dropping several cubes. i was able to snap them back on, but not sure if they were in the correct position - which would obviously alter the game.
 Great If You Can Modify ItJan 13, 2010
I received a Rubik's Brand 4x4 cube for Christmas this year. I can solve the 3x3 in about a minute and a half each time, I was looking for something harder and this new cube fits the bill perfectly. Up to a point, it is not like a 3x3, and is entirely intuitive. However, you can eventually turn it into a scrambled 3x3, and you solve it the same from that point on. Except for parity. Parity is a situation that can occur on a 4x4 but is not possible on a 3x3, and it requires at least two huge, horrible, difficult, chalenging, and crazy algorithms that you must memorize. But, it is very fun to solve and I recomend every Rubix enthusiast to get one.
Now, about the quality of this particular cube. My problem is with the stickers. The internal mechanism, a sphere, is fine. The physical construction of this thing is great. It moves well, and is very sturdy. But the stickers are not durable. Within three days, they began to peel. I then decided to take a risk, and customize it. I took it apart, and painted each piece individually with epoxy, then I scraped the excess epoxy off the insides of each individual piece once it dried. I then lubed it with WD40 and Vaseline, while putting it back together. The result, a professional looking and moving cube. It took a lot of time, but I think it was worth it. However, that amount of work would not be necessary if Rubik's were to spend about 5 cents more on each cube and get better stickers. The quality of the stickers deduct two stars from this otherwise five star cube.
I would recomend that you look at other brands for you 4x4, like Eastsheen, or maybe a tiled cube. Or, you could purchase better stickers for about a dollar and put them on yourself as soon as you get this cube. Or you could turn it into a frankencube as I have done with mine. But except for the poor stickers, this is a great cube, very chalenging and fun, and anyone will enjoy it.
fell apart, got replacement, it fell apart as wellJan 12, 2010
The fun of the cube is solving the puzzle and then doing it fast, but it won't hold up to much movement at all.
Not worth the time/money.

This cube is great for general playing. However if you're a speedcuber or cuber like I am, I recommend replacing the stickers and lubing the cube.
