There are some new puzzles on the market.... are they any good?

The first is called OSKAR's CUBE or something similar.  It consists of
a cube (no kidding) with paths etched in all 6 sides.  There is a 
cross hair of rigid rods that connect inside the cube...  got the 
picture?
  So there are six rigid rods that meet orthogonally inside, and they pass
out through the outer walls and are constrained to move where the paths
are etched in the sides.... one tries to move the cross hairs to a particular
position within the center, which is difficult because they can only move
on a maze (which must be inferred from the outside)

 It seems to be a pretty cool puzzle, although after about 2 minutes of
figuring I thought I had figured it out. (It might have been near the ending
solution and I got lucky)  Also, I had this weird feeling of deja-vu.  Either
I have played with the exact same thing, or me and some friends designed the
same thing.

The second is called,,  who knows.  It consists of two disks with holes..
the two disks rotate freely, and have little containers which hold marbles.
by spinning the disks and pushing on the marbles they will pass from side
to side.  The object is to get all of the marbles of the same color into
the same container.
  It looks kind of neat, but a trifle tedious perhaps.  The pattern is
so regular on both sides that it is perhaps too mechanical, and there
are so many marbles that it might take ten years to do anything.
