I thought it deserved a lot of pictures.
Does anyone have any idea why Hong Kong dealers on eBay can offer these models (all Chinese made stuff generally) at sometimes less than they cost dealers? Are they getting them through the back door, and if so does that mean that more are being produced than the official number? It all seems quite strange.

Mike, I think your theory may be correct. A common practice, sadly

Mike The Ideal Toy Co. made Rubic's Cubes 8 A.M. to 5P.M. after that time the Chinese ran the factory for the Government and you know what happened. Eventually every gas station was selling Rubic's Cube. That item by the way was so over produced we could not even give them away in this country. The Ideal Toy Co. is no more too much over production. Oh well we did it to ourselves.
