I agree. I have all the different Magics and the OddzOn version is not an improvement. The weird thing is that their website www.rubiks.com shows a picture of the Magic thats looks like one of the Matchbox ones (BTW on the same site I read the other day that OddzOn is planning to make their own deluxe cube). Anyway, in the message that Wayne responded to, I was not talking about Magic, but the "Magic Strategy Game" by Matchbox which is a completely different thing. As I wrote, this has been re- launched by OddzOn under the new name "Eclipse", and in this case the OddzOn guys have actually improved the original design, in my opinion. ______________________________________ Philip K E-mail: philipk@bassandtrouble.com E-mail: klodshans@get2net.dk web: http://hjem.get2net.dk/philip-k
