I would imagine a large number of the 4x4x4 cubes sold in the U.S. as "Rubik's Revenge" were sold to non-cube-lovers and are now tucked away in attics and basements with all the other toys the kids have outgrown. For this reason I've considered checking out local garage and yard sales. (Before it became widely known what the value of old baseball cards could be, these sales were an excellent way for collectors to pick up large boxes of old cards for only a few dollars). Anyway, I hope Christoph still has the Megaminx because I just sent him a check for some items including this. :) There was no indication he was out of them in the catalog I just got. -- For USCF & FIDE rated chess on Long Island -> http://www.webcom.com/timm/ TimM on the Free Internet Chess Server - telnet://fics.onenet.net:5000/ Webmaster, tech support - ICD/Your Move Chess & Games: http://www.icdchess.com/ The opinions of my employers are not necessarily mine, and vice versa.
