NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX»
In 1974, Erno Rubik invented the contraption that
would eventually become known as the Rubik's Cube.
The toy consisted of twenty-seven miniature cubes
which made up the Cube in a 3x3x3 array. Although
few players would ever solve the puzzle with its
43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible combinations,
the Rubik's Cube went on to sell a hundred million
units to a worldwide audience in the early 80's.
In the ensuing decades, the Rubik's Cube craze has faded although
it still sells roughly half a million units per
annum. To recapture some of that old time magic,
Banpresto releases a Rubik's cushion which
measures 30cm square or 11.81" by 11.81" for us
yanks. Purchase three cushions and
create a Cube worthy of any Rubik fanatic's living
room. Please note that due to the lofty pricing
schemes of Japanese products, the cushions are
sold separately and NCS is forced (repeat: forced)
to sell each single cushion at US$25. To create a
true Rubik's cushion set, you'll have to purchase
3 slices to complete a "cube" to sit on or just
stare at.
When NCS removed a few of the cushions from the shipping containers
this morning, we noticed a slight acrid "new
cushion" scent. We wouldn't use the cushions as
pillows since they're not fluffy enough but they
serve nicely as seat cushions since they're
flattish. All preorders are shipping today and new
orders are welcome.
