Hi,
First of all I wanna say, I'm a new member here, and I got this website about Rubik's in Singapore. I don't live in Singapore, I live in Batam, but my sister lives in Singapore, and she's coming back Monday (17/05) and I asked her to buy me a Rubik's cube.
But the only hard thing now is which type should I get, the Rubik's 3x3x3 or Rubik's 2x2x2.
1. If I chose Rubik's 3x3x3, I have one now, not a Rubik's brand though, just some cheap thing and the colours are starting to wearing out and it easily pops everytime I use it, so I'm considering a new one.
2. I always wanted a 2x2x2 since I can already solve the 3x3x3 cube by now. If I choose this, I'll have a 3x3x3 and a Rubik's 2x2x2, but if I choose this I'm afraid that one day my 3x3x3 will be unusable and I won't have a 3x3x3 anymore.
Please help me guys.
And oh by the way, my sis lives near Choa Chu Kang, and there is one Comics Connection over there, does the Comics Connection there sells Rubik's cube? And is the original Rubik's sticker easily removed? And is there a change sticker for the Rubik's? And when I buy the rubiks, can I buy directly with those stickers (as in the person installs the new sticker for me, so I don't need to change it by myself)?

Thanks everyone, sorry if I have posted on the wrong section.
Guten tag.

Get a 3x3x3 a Rubik's 2x2 sucks from what I heard.
Besides, you can get other better yet cheaper 2x2 online or offline like Lan lan 2x2x2.
From here : Blackhttp://www.popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.2x2_LL_Spring_Screw_Magic_Intelligence_Test_Cube_Black_-25567 / Whitehttp://www.popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.2x2_LL_Spring_Screw_Magic_Intelligence_Test_Cube_White_-25568
And i do believe they sell them cheapest on the net with free shipping (~11days)

And yes the stickers are easily removed and if there is some sticky residue just use eraser (Lulz).
You can also buy 2x2~4x4 stickers from Comics Con. i believe.
Rubik's they sell are not DIYs so you won't have to sticker or assemble.
However since their sticker quality is pretty bad you might want to buy some extra sets (~2).
They come with application tape and thus easy to use just tear the whole piece like a sticker and place nicely on you cube.
Note: However if you have type F or any other cubes with smaller cubies (rounded) you might want to remove the application tape and slowly put the stickers on 1 by 1 its definately worth it.
