Someone once said "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." This item is such an example. Made in Taiwan during the early 1980's this "Wonderful Puzzler" is a slightly smaller copy of the famous and popular Rubik's Cube. Have hours, days, months or years (!) of pleasure trying to solve the puzzle. The box remains intact and strong while the edges and corners have some rubbing. The simple design showing coloured graphics of the cube in various stages of completion is unfaded. The surface shows some minor "grubbiness" due age and decades of use but this adds to that authentic vintage look. The cube is in full working order although a little stiff and there is no evidence that the coloured stickers have been removed and replaced. According to the statement on the box there are more than 3,000,000,000 combinations to solve the puzzle which will be supplied unsolved. A great nostalgic piece of 1980's memorabilia. A great item for someone wanting to relive their childhood, as a prop in a 1980's themed room or display or as originally intended a quiet and totally absorbing non-electronic past-time.
