The 4x4x4 is no longer made or sold through ordinary distribution channels any more, but probably still available from Puzzletts at a high price. At the IPP a few months ago someone was offering a real 2x3x3 for around US$40 I think, which is cheaper than a 4x4x4 is now but still rarer. -- Norman Diamond diamond@jrdv04.enet.dec-j.co.jp [Speaking for Norman Diamond not for Digital.]
