Cubes like that are probably more expensive to manufacture. However, a "Deluxe" version, using plastic tiles, was produced by Ideal in the early 80's. Pretty hard to get now, i'm afraid. I also have one that seems newer, this also has plastic tiles. It came on a card, that had the name "Old Brand Magic Cube" on it. The back of the card has a (poor) solution printed, and there is also a picture of an Octagon, supposedly by same manufacturer. Apart from the plastic tiles, there is nothing deluxe about this last one - the turning is o.k. but not VERY smooth. ____________________________________ Philip K Vendersgade 15, 3th DK - 1363 Copenhagen K Denmark Phone: +45 33932787 Mobile: +45 21706731 E-mail: philipk@bassandtrouble.com E-mail: philipknudsen@hotmail.com
