Date: 8 Aug 1980 1702-PDT From: Isaacs at SRI-KL Subject: where to buy them To: cube-lovers at MC In the Palo Alto/Stanford area, the cheapest place to buy the cubes seems to be Toys-R-Us (in Redwood City) at $7.85. They say they sell the dIdeal version. Logical Games sells the US made version; they are the little guys, and perhaps should be supported. L.G. price is actually $7.50, plus $1.50 postage. Two, therefore, are 'only' $16.50. They were, I believe, the first U.S. importer; the owner is Hungarian and had bought two for his children after visiting Hungary. The children didn't like them, but he did, and he imported 1000 more and sent them around (including 10 to Stanford Book Store). When Ideal took over the rights (by offering the Hungarians more money, I assume), he started manufacturing them here - the white plastic versions. He is also a source for the Singmaster pamphlet, and an 'Anginvine' solution. -------
