    I heard a couple of weeks ago that the Rubix Cube was going to be one of the "must haves" for Christmas 2008.

    Woohoo! I bought one last Christmas!:rotfl:
  • As much as i love my nephew he doesn't seem interested enough in toys to splash the cash!

    I know it sounds tight but what i remember from my own childhood i had more fun using my imagination and cardboard boxes!!

    Seriously Wii's still seem to be in shortish supply!

    - oops should say Rubiks cube

    Woolies were quoted as saying this was on their top ten list this year - no batteries, cheaper than other toys, making kids think....they said it ticked all the boxes


    for me (who played it first time round), bloody annoying, could never get more than 2 sides to match, extremely frustrating even after I used my pocket money to buy a solutions book...

    Same here, although getting for sons birthday in couple of weeks. Was going to get the ben 10 omnitrix (which I think will be popular at xmas) but this looks much more fun. Also anything to do with clone wars/stars wars with the new film out soon.
    Say it every year but definately cutting down this year. As the holidays are proving, the kids would much rather annoy each other than play nicely with their toys!
