[@caterscarrots3407]

I so feel you with cube explosions. I had it happen once with a 4x4 that had tiles on it instead of stickers and moved faster than any 4x4 I have had before and after that. I was in the middle of a solve, I think I was on the last layer and it suddenly just fell apart into pieces and I couldn't figure out how to reassemble the 4x4 and neither could my dad, so it ended up being thrown into the trash in a ziplock bag. And my non-Rubik's 4x4 that I still have, it regularly has 1 back piece pop off, again on the last layer, usually as a result of a slight misalignment. It's frustrating when I have to reassemble in the middle of solving the cube.
