You can't get crap in China in stores. 100Rmb cubes are unheard of. Only 3rmb springless cubes with durable tiles that suck badly. Good luck finding a nice cube. I'll be amazed. I would buy a few of these crap cubes just for using the tiles (whole thing is cheaper than cubesmith tiles). And glue a few together for a fun mod. That is all.
Unless you go to the Eastsheen factory or cube4you store or something, but I have no clue where that is.

No one knows what is a rubik's cube.
it is the Magic cube (Pronounced something like "more fun" mo fang)

3rmb is like 40 cents. $1=7rmb or so.
When I was there a few years ago, it was like 2 rmb and the exchange rate was $1=8.25 rmb.
last year, it was 3rmb, but it varies greatly by region. Even if you go somewhere expensive, it should be no more than 10 rmb. you can probably get it for less than 1rmb still somewhere where everyone's really poor.

Where are you going in China? I was at Xi'an.
If you go to Shanghai or Hong Kong. Things are supposed to be more expensive.

I highly doubt airports to have cubes. You can check if you like.

Hi guys,

Last week I bought an very-cheap-looking fake-cube on a Chinese market in the Netherlands. Instead of sticker 3mm thick hard plastic covers are attached, probably with a clicking mechanisme. It was prices only 1 euro (aprox $1.55)
I still got it wrapped in plastic tagged with a label saying "made in China"
I think it will not survive more than 10 minutes when I use it.

I had a cube with 3mm thick tiles once that Brian Odom gave to me. It was almost impossible to turn. I tried to take it apart once (I was going to try to lube it), and the pieces cracked badly so that it was useless, so I threw it away. (So I can't take a picture of the 3mm tiles.) But I definitely remember them being that big - they were hollow pieces of plastic, flat on one side and rounded on the other side, and the flat side was glued onto the surface of the cube. (A couple of them fell off before I broke it entirely.)
