The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,
now with solution guide
The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

About Hawkin's Bazaar
Hawkin's Bazaar has been providing you with unusual gifts, toys and gadgets since 1973. Originally a local toy shop at the Hawk Inn (hence the name), Hawkin's Bazaar now sells things you thought had gone forever and things you never even knew existed. They bring you Pin Art, Morph, Rubik's Cube, Big Trak, Space Hoppers and much more.
Also remembered...
Punk as we know it began in the early 1970's. Bands like The Fugs, the MC5 and The Stooges set the foundations for punk, but punk remained an underground scene until 1976 when two bands - The Ramones and the Sex Pistols took the outside world by storm.
My favourite memory of the punk era is my own ridiculous image. I had a 2ft mohawk, 2lb of metal in my face and a complete disregard for personal hygeine! You're probably thinking "why is that his favourite memory?", well this is because it just goes to show the daft things you do to be in the 'in crowd'. I'd just like to add that the music is still as good as ever!

We were the Kings of the wild frontier! There was just something about a man wearing eyeliner!I remember walking(sauntering)around town , thinking the pavement was my catwalk with onlookers(my audiance) staring in disbeleif as to what i was wearing, as i revelled in their shock! Decadence, bravery, imagination, arrogance and a thick skin required!
