I've been a bad boy.

Needing a 'power totem' of sorts for work, I decided that the most defining thing I could use would be a few Rubik's cubes on my desk. The novelty of the cubes to me will never run out, but having them at work make for an interesting conversation starter, and gave my co-workers the ability to 'challenge' me by scrambling the puzzles at random periods when I'm away from my desk.

It's not surprising that in a technical support company full of geeks that there would be one or two cube freaks like me there, but I was lucky enough to have one on my own team who introduced me to a few of his cubes.

Big mistake.

The cube fever set in me again like I hadn't felt since I first solved the original 3x3x3 cube. Madly, over the last few weeks, I've been researching custom cubes and puzzles and purchasing a few items off of eBay.

Okay, more than a few.

...

I'm not going to divulge how much I've spent on cubes.


Instead, I decided I would keep reviews and unboxings on this blog as a resource of what to buy and what to avoid if you are serious about adding decent pieces to your own collection. So, with a whole crap-tonne (it's an industry term) more ado, I bring you the first review:
