Solving The 3x3x3 Cube!
First - Buy the Cube
Rubik's 3x3 Cube with Collector Stand
This is the cube that I bought. It is an official brand name Rubik's Cube, not some cheap knock-off. Those cheap knock-offs tend to break quite easily. Please keep in mind that this is the special 25th Anniversary Rubik's Cube, meaning that instead of white squares, there are silver shiny squares. I personally like it that way. Don't worry about replacing those, the site that I link to later on has replaceable silver stickers. And finally, the cube comes with a nice little Collector Stand, so you can proudly show off your cube!

I was pretty surprised when I learned of this product from the official Rubik's Cube website. According to the site, it is out of production. But, that is only the official manufactured cube. I'm sure you can either make your own or buy an unofficial cube.eBay:
