Original Rubik's Cube

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Puzzles for Grown-ups
from: Drumond Park


I had one of the original cubes as a child and loved it. It is probably up in the loft somewhere but I wanted a new one anyway. This is exactly the same high quality I remember. It was lovely and fluid straight out of the box. I love it just as much now as I did then, now Im a bit smarter so can complete it too LOL. I have no hesitation in recommending this cube, it really is the best one you can buy.

Jigsaw Roll

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Puzzles for Grown-ups
from: Paul Lamond Games


Just simply a great practical item. Does what it says on the box!

Make up your puzzle on the felt mat, then when you want a break, simply pull open the telescopic tube, roll the puzzle and mat around it, and secure with the elastic bands provided.

Jumbo Portapuzzle Standard 1000

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Puzzles for Grown-ups
from: Jumbo


There is very little to recommend this product. When it is opened out it is huge and unwieldy. To close it up all the pieces from the side flaps have to be removed and then all put out again next time. In desperation I cut the side flaps off so I can place the three parts separately on the table then when I want to store it I place the sections with the loose pieces on top of the jigsaw. If I want to store it vertically I place felt on the pieces, then cardboard, secured by elastic!! What a performance. The Jigsort is miles better.

Bedlam Cube - Retro

from: Bedlam


Its now almost a month since i started playing with this puzzle and as yet have not completed it. After seeing it on Dragons Den i was completely intrigued and being a fan of the old rubiks cube i thought this would be something I could master pretty quickly. How wrong could i be!

My first plan of attack was to carefully lift the puzzle out of the box and study it to see if i could memorise where some of the blocks had to go. This was fine until my 4 year old decided to 'help'. Since then i have tried all different ways but I always seem to be just one piece away from succes.

I would reccommend this puzzle to anyone who has a little patience .

Rubik's 4 x 4 Revenge Cube

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Puzzles for Grown-ups
from: Drumond Park

August 08, 2005
I started cubing at christmas when i was presented with my first 3x3x3 cube. I was determined to master the thing. Eventually i was able to do it and i'm working hard to get a quick time.
I decided to go for a little harder challenge and so the 4x4x4 was the obvious next step. It was a challenge but knowledge from the 3x3x3 one makes it easier to pick up strategies and techniques. Once you master this the 3x3x3 seems so much more simple. This is deffinutly a good buy for people wanting more then a 3x3x3. But if your just starting out go for the 3x3x3 as you deffinutly need it to understand this one.
5x5x5 here i come!!!

Jumbo PortaPuzzle Deluxe 1000

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Puzzles for Grown-ups
from: Jumbo


I left plenty of hints every birthday and Christmas and finally received a Portapuzzle.
I am so disappointed with it I wished I had never asked for it!
It is not possible for 2 people to share the enjoyment of a jigsaw unless the Portapuzzle is completely folded back on itself. This not only risks the danger of breaking the zip, but could also scratch any surface it is placed upon.
My husband and I are addicted to "Wasgijs", and as anybody who does these knows, portions of the puzzle need to be made up without actually knowing where they fit. The problem is, there is no 'slidability' on the padded felt surfaces of either the main board or the sorting boards, so everything breaks up when you try and put it in position.
