Rubik's toys!

[sonia]

melannen posted a photo and list of Rubik's toys and I had a lot of those! So fun to see someone else's collection! I got rid of a lot of mine in the recent move. I hope someone else is enjoying them.

From top to bottom of their list, I had:
a keychain-size Barrel, which I probably kept because it was one of my favorites
an Alexander's Star
an Orb (I'd forgotten about that one!)
several sizes of Rubik's cubes, including a tiny one
mini Missing Link
small Pyraminx

I also had:
Rubik's World which was like the rounded "cube" in the bottom row, only with continents rather than just squares.
Rubik's Revenge, a 4x4 cube that I kept and had to remember/re-figure out how to solve.
Rubik's Snake (I think it was Rubik's?) that could be folded into a sphere or a swan
A small tower with columns of different colored small spheres, each column shading dark to light.

Somehow I didn't imagine anyone else would have collected a bunch of these puzzles, and I'm delighted to see I'm wrong about that.

I think I kept the tower. I'll look for it and take a picture if I find it.

I have a friend who has an annual puzzle & games New Year's Party. He has an entire *room* for his puzzles (well, and a guest bed is allowed to be there too) and people hang out in there and work on them. Very fun!

Oh my, that forum! Thank you for the link, and I am carefully backing away. Those modified 2x2s sure are cool, though.
