I just got my brand new Revomaze Blue this morning it and it would appear to be faulty out of the box. Having watched a video of Chris Pitt opening the blue in about a minute I can pull the core out and read the serial number in less than 3 seconds. Doesn't come all the way out of the sleeve just enough to read the serial/code number. I don't have to do ANY lenghty pulling, twisting and pushing it practically pulls out without any effort whatsoever.

I don't have much luck with new puzzles, my Isis I was faulty too (read my other posts about that). Guess I'll have to send this back for refund, I'm not paying repair costs for something that is already knackered.

To back up my claim of it being faulty I'm going to video myself opening it in about 2 seconds to YouTube.

Oh, I see. I was convinced it was busted because the shaft comes half way out which is what I thought you were supposed to do, then the rest. I didn't realise it was a trap. So how do I know when I've got the "open point"? Or is that a secret Wink

for all those who buy a Revomaze, first of all, read the instruction booklet. its short and may shed a little light on the up coming adventure. Furthermore, when you get your puzzle you are to register it via email. This is also stated in the instruction booklet. once registared, you will recieve an email giving specific details and pictures showing how to determine the puzzle is solved and how to dissassemble/reassemble it.

Well, I haven't really been around since Last Call Poker wrapped up, but of course, when it comes to intriguing things, good old google brought me home in a hurry Smile

So, funny story. I was just browsing through my thinkgeek holiday buys email and noticed the Kuku puzzle from SW. I had seen the Isis before and was always intrigued by it, but after doing some research and being informed of the faults people were experiencing with their products, I began looking for an alternative. That's when I noticed most of these posts suggested the Revomaze, a name I had heard back during it's pre-release hype.

Anyways, after reading through this thread, I think I'm pretty much hooked Razz

I had noticed that socalsteve said he bought his as a set. I didn't see this option on the website, do I have to call customer service to do this specially, or is this no longer an option? Also, if/when buying as a set, do you pay in full and they simply ship them as they come out? (I realize that only gold has yet to be released at this point). One last question on this note, if I didn't want to go all in right away ($141.77 USD for blue w/cheapest shipping, yikes!), could I purchase a blue/green and then later decide to purchase a set and receive the rest with matching serials?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Another question! The stands, I see on the order page it says "please order separately!" but see no place to do so Sad

Also, what is the cost of the stand? I looked around for some 3rd party retailers, and found the puzzles itself for $120, and the puzzle with stand for $140. But nothing on the main site :/

Thanks for the reply, it was helpful!

So, I've gone ahead and ordered a Blue from Thinkgeek! (I would have ordered directly, but the US-to-US shipping was faster [3-day], and I wanted it for the holidays).

Even better news is that I contacted Chris, and if I'm lucky enough to receive a Blue that hasn't had its counterparts created yet, he'll reserve the rest of the set for me! The best of both worlds if it works out! Very Happy

(Get it for the holidays, still be able to collect a set potentially)

It should be coming in Friday, I'll post back with my experience once it comes in!

so what can I say other than holy crap I want one of these things more than anything. The price is scaring me though..

My question is, if I was only allowed one, which should it be? I feel like I would want the hardest one if I could only have one due to the fact of the price for me is a bit much.

any opinions? I can afford one this coming week, but which one.

thanks for the answer!

I was looking at the plastic ones as well, my only problem is the price. It ends up being like 50 for me to get one plastic one shipped. Unless someone other than the actual site has them.

For me thinkgeek is the only place with the metal ones that I found in the states, if anyone can point out another place without insane shipping let me know.

I definitely want one whether its plastic or metal. But I think if im going to have to order the plastic from the actual site I should order 2 since im paying for the shipping.
