American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA) Members Name the Rubik's(R) Cube to the 2016 "Best Toys for Kids Awards" List
/EINPresswire.com/ -- DANVERS, MA--(Marketwired - August 03, 2016) - The Rubik's® Cube, distributed by Winning Moves Games, has been honored with a 2016 Best Toys for Kids award by the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA).
"The Best Toys for Kids Award winners are selected by neighborhood toy store owners around the country who watch kids play in their store all day long and talk with parents about which toys sustain their child's attention and become beloved additions to their toy box" said Kimberly Mosley, President of ASTRA.
With 400 million Rubik's Cube sold to date, it is the best selling toy in history. The Cube phenomenon has stood the test of time and has established itself as an icon of 1980's popular culture. This legendary status lives on today appearing in TV shows, Hollywood movies, music videos, and even has its own global sport (SpeedCubing).
"The Rubik's Cube has been twisting and turning its way into our hearts since 1980 and is just as popular today as it was back then. There are 43 quintillion different combinations -- but only one solution. The eternal challenge to solve the Rubik's Cube is what keeps people coming back for more," said Philip Orbanes Jr., President of Winning Moves Games.
Winning Moves sells the Rubik's® Cube to specialty toy and game retailers nationwide.
