For each Rubik's solid on offer, from 2x2 to 7x7 to pyramids to whatever else you get, could you state the brand recommendation you'd make to:
-a beginner who isn't too fussed about speed, but does want value for money, something which isn't a huge strain to turn and something which won't fall apart. i've found the rubiks.com 3x3 to be very good, so cubes like that but in different sizes would be good...just something decent. anything better than the rubiks.com 3x3 for 3x3s? i've had some serious crap in the past. my 2x2 cube (cheapest one on ebay, not a rubiks.com) fell apart in my hands, leaving an impossible puzzle of plastic pieces in front of me to reassemble. it was decent before it did this. my 4x4 and 5x5 cheapies off ebay also fell apart with even more complicated results...and before they did, they were very stiff, with tiny cubies too...they didn't turn unless i'd made a big conscious effort to get all of the layers perfectly aligned.
-a serious speedcuber who really wants to get up to crazy speeds.
