And, does anyone know if there's a similar organization in germany? Wei-Hwa Huang wrote: >I suggest any cube-lover who is considering going to local garage >and yard sales to not do so! This way, *I* can get all of the >old cubes and other puzzles!! Well, it seem s to me that all those people in the USA are much more lucky than I am in germany. I've been going to flea markets for years (not only for cubes, mainly for buying records), and I've never ever seen a 4x4x4 for sale there, only lots of 3x3x3s. Concerning Puzzletts: >The only source for a 4x4x4 that I know of is Puzzletts, >I tried to order from them first, in the beginning of June. There was >no response to my order or the followup email I sent. I asked a friend of mine in the USA to order one for me, so I simply *HOPE* that the above described situation isn't their regular way of doing business. What might help is the fact that one of their retailers is in the city where my friend lives, so he might have a chance of getting one there. Concerning my old 4x4x4: Is there any way to fix broken center pieces? That's the reason why I need a new one, I still have all the pieces but two of them are broken and I have no idea if there's a way to fix them (I doubt it, though). Furthermore, does anyone of you maybe have a broken 4x4x4 and is willing to sell that one? Maybe I can fix my old one with some of those pieces then. (But probably they wouldn't fit together if they were done by different companies). I also could do with someone willing to sell a working 4x4x4 by the way :-) Sorry for the length of this Michael
