However, it must be said that they are not suddenly aware of this. This has been a problem for some time. Frankly, I have a Rubik's original from 5 years ago with the same propblem. Oddzon don't seem to built the items or make them in colours that Rubik himself even approves of (take the new colours of the magic for instance - terrible). I am currently on the lookout for an asian fake cube because they have always been (dare I say it) better quality in the sticker dept. My Fake is 15 years old with all stickers nicely attached. Come on Oddzon... a cube that wears out in a month?.... I think this is very clever and deliberate marketing. Regards, Wayne
