Puzzle filter: I'm looking for the name of this puzzle involving a cube...

No, not a Rubik's cube. I'll try my best to explain it: a bunch of wooden cubic blocks are attached together via a string. The goal of the puzzle is twist and turn these blocks and form them into bigger cube. E.g. make a 3x3 cube out of 27 smaller cubes.. Anyone know what this is called? Better yet, where can I buy one online?

Response by poster: Thanks!! It's not the Kibble Cube, but it's very close to it. Found it on that same page: Snake Cube

Response by poster: Hm, finding a place to buy the harder snake cubes or even the Kibble cube is tougher than I thought. Anyone know any online or B&M stores to get a Kibble cube or one of the hard puzzles (Kev's Kubes, Cubra) listed on this page? My googlefu is failing me; I can only find some "generic snake cubes," but can't tell how difficult they are.
