In this repository you'll find a collection of high-quality scans of the boxes for all 20 known variants of the Magic Cube produced by Politechnika (later Politoys) from 1977 to 1982. More info available here. The Magic Cube was the precursor to the Rubik's Cube™, and was manufactured in Budapest, Hungary for some time before its introduction to the U.S. market. It took me 5 years to collect at least one of each variant.
