It never pops
The older Rubik's brands the 1.0 version never pops also.
It's funny... I've heard several stories of official Rubik's cubes breaking from being dropped onto a hard floor. Usually it's the core that goes. Meanwhile nobody talks about the durability of V-cubes, but even a V-cube 7x7x7 can be dropped onto concrete or kicked around 0 despite the complex design.one good thing, the BEST thing about the Rubik's brand is their durability. They're made so that Daddy doesn't need to return a broken cube after Jimmy was too rough with it. You'd have to drop one of those things onto a pretty hard surface to get it to break apart, and a similar impact would make a real speedcube look like something melting out of the LEGO Movie.
" With lots of practice you can solve it in under 10 seconds!"
I couldn't disagree more. Back in the '80s, I had a "Rubik's Revenge" 4x4. In short order, and with no abuse, the retaining tab broke off one of the center pieces, causing it to fall apart. The tab could not be glued back on due to the narrow edge, so I bought a replacement. I took the replacement out of the box, and literally on the very first turn it just fell apart in my hands. The cause? The retaining tab had once again broken off of a center piece. On the very...first...turn.The one good thing, the BEST thing about the Rubik's brand is their durability.

Perhaps their 3x3s last, but couldn't that just be because people's hands hurt so much that they give up and put it in storage for years at a time?
