Mine has at least one badly bent screw from the factory. Box was sealed. Lubed it and did some solves on it to see if I really wanted to order a replacement. I don't think I will. Not a fan of the texture on the pieces. More abrasive than it should be. Cube is sloppy and flexible even with the screws almost tight. Lots of corner twists and even an internal piece popped out. I really wanted to like it. Maybe someday I will try another Vin 2x2, but not in a hurry.
