Ok so I've been cubing for about a year now and I've been using the same store bought Rubik's brand 3x3 the entire time. I've take it apart every now and then to rub away plastic dust and whatnot and the last time I did I found that the blue side of the core was broken. The square top where the sticker is placed has actually broken off from where the black cylinder tube thingy part of it is attached to the white-ish tan core piece (rip apart your own and you'll understand better). And although it sucks that it is broken I don't think I really care all to much considering it has made the blue side considerably faster than the other 5 and I have yet to run into any problems with the cube popping. So I was wondering if any of you have had the same issue and if you have problems because of it. And I'm thinking of buying another cube from the store and breaking it in for a bit and then breaking all 6 sides to match my current broken one. What do you think?? Sorry I have no pictures.
