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.

It definitely has more visual interest than solid blocks of color. It's got blueberries, raspberries, bananas, strawberries, peaches, and the aforementioned Chexes on it.

I still have it, actually, but because I wasn't good at it as a child, I haven't tried it as an adult, assuming I'd still be bad at it, which is illogical, but possibly also correct. :D
