Well they are here. I'm not sure if its all that great though. I just paid nearly $90 for a puzzle thats the same size as a half dollar. that being said, it does look like a nice puzzle. tightly crafted.
Unfortunately we already have reports of failures. Reports of a puzzle arriving opened with missing parts. mind you with the way the puzzle is packaged, parts cannot fallout.
Hire someone to QA this crap!
Also, now that everyone who pre-ordered paid 55GBP theres now a 1/2 price version. WTF?

the KUKU Just received my KUKU Puzzle this week. I was surprised by the size, since i also have the ISIS puzzle too.. Yet, it does seem well constructed. The silver,gold,and blue colors are quite semetric and have a interesting shape.. The orb in general is like an ISIS baby version. Though i have not solved the puzzle as yet, i find it quite relaxing.. I did get free shipping and a 4.80 lbs discount for ordering it to the states through Sonicwarp website....

Apparently the 1/2 price versions were only available for 1 day and have been removed.

Well constructed, IDK. it certainly is solid. as for well constructed, we wont know until we get it open. The Ramisis seemed well constructed but it was broken. (PS SW can i have me Ramisis back yet, its only been 3 months since i sent it in to you). As for the colors, gold is the best name i could come up with, but i'm not sure thats what that color is.

I just got mine in and the plastic box that holds it is full of cracks. I'm afraid to even try to open it because i'm sure it will break all the way.
How do I get it out of that plastic box without breaking it further? any ideas? I've gotten no reply from sonicwarp. Not that I expected one.

Mine was cracked as well. Just came right open without any additional damage to the box. There's really not much to the design. It's supposed to give the illusion that the puzzle is floating when seen through the outer box window. Not really a challenge to open.

there is a coin in the center and what appears to be 2 movable ferris objects inside.

SonicWarp seems to like making puzzles which require you to violently smack them against something, sometimes multiple times, in order to solve them. I tried dropping this thing from the 3rd story of my office park. It, erm, didn't seem to help.

There's this tribe of people that are called The Kuku.
I quote from wikipedia: The Kuku play a game that is very similar to baseball. They hit a hard fruit with a stick and run.
