Question 1

What is it made of?  Plastic? Paper? Wood?

Accepted Answer

Essentially it's a bunch of hallow plastic triangles held together and hinged by the stickers. Stickers seem fairly durable but don't expect it to hold up long with regular use. It's the magnets that likely make this cost so much. OK novelty item if on a deep sale but not worth anywhere near full price IMO.

Question 2

This one is so much more expensive than others....Is this one better than the ones that cost $7.99 or $8.99?

Accepted Answer

The term "rare earth" can be misleading, as some of these metals can be[3][4] as abundant in the Earth's crust as tin or lead,[5] but rare earth ores do not exist in seams (like coal or copper), so in any given cubic kilometre of crust they are "rare". The major source is currently China.[6] Some countries classify rare earth metals as strategically important,[7] and recent Chinese export restrictions on these materials have led some to initiate research programs to develop strong magnets that do not require rare earth metals. It’s not a scam just because you don’t know something. I’ve bought one for each of my 3 kids and own several myself, they are solid quality and if you’re seeing the same product for $7.99-$8.99 it’s a cheep knock off. Absolutely worth the price.

Question 3

How about a boy who is in 9th grade and loves the rubics cube?

Accepted Answer

YES -- this cube is fascinating!  Got it for my 23 year old and he loves it!  Al he extended family wanted to play with it, flip it around, and make the designs.  This is my new go to gift for engineers, techie folks, fidgeters, and well, anyone hard to buy for!

Question 4

What are the dimensions of the box when not opened up into shapes?

Accepted Answer

As just a simple comparison, it’s roughly the size of a Rubics cube. I was surprised at how small the cube is, but when opened and in its various shapes and in combination with other cubes, I’m very glad it is small! Anything larger would be definitely too big!
