Description

Selling two very special TIC designs!

HecTIC and EcTIC are very rare unusual TIC designs where the component voxels aren't all connected by their sides. Some of them are linked by their edges or more daringly by their corners! It makes for some very complex movements. I warn any bidders to be careful playing with this puzzle. The pieces are more delicate with the weaker connections. I know several unhappy buyers who weren't careful and snapped a part or two.

EcTIC is the easier tic of the two with only 3 parts and they're closer to the traditional tic shapes. But HecTIC is much harder with 4 parts instead of 3 and the parts have more edge-to-edge and corner-to-corner connections, making the solve harder.

It's up to the buyer if they wish for the tics to be sent assembled or disassembled. I will ask before shipment is done.

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.

I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international (and domestic) buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

LOL by Frederic Boucher

Frederic Boucher has a long history of coming up with wild puzzles, but he doesn't like to craft more than a handful of copies before moving on to the next design. Which is why I'm so appreciative of Pelikan for stepping in to make more copies of LOL for everyone to try!LOL is a packing puzzle where the solver needs to fit all of the pieces into a 4x5 space with only a 1x2 opening to fit the pieces inside. It's obvious that rotations will be required since there are pieces that wouldn't otherwis...

T14 Popplock by Rainer Popplock

Where do I begin with this beast of a puzzle? It's one of the most sought after puzzle lock with multiple fanatical fans wanting to collect every single lock made by Rainer. He definitely knows how to make locks that would stump any thief looking to loot one's puzzle collection! It'll stump their minds and is made so sturdily that it'd stump their aching hands and demand power tools to break through!It's not an easy puzzle at all and I struggled for a long time working on it, but it was such an ...

Matchbox Playground by Péter Gál

Does anyone remembers Oskar's Matchboxes? The solver had 5 matchboxes with a square shell and a box attached to it at different spots from piece to piece, and then they had to be put them together so all 5 boxes would fit inside another matchbox. It was a very interesting puzzle with 4 cavities to store small items inside and people had fun finding multiple ways to put the boxes together. It was fairly popular and not the only one of it's type! Matchbox Play Six by Olexandre Kapkan upped the cou...

Archipuzzle by Lucie Pauwels

Archipuzzle is actually a sequel of sorts to Stuffing Burr despite both puzzles being designed by different people.Just like Stuffing Burr, Archipuzzle is an unusual burr puzzle where the goal is to assemble it instead of taking the burr apart. Furthermore, it has a catch in that it has no obvious goal shape unlike most other burrs. Instead, solvers need to figure out how to assemble the pieces in a way that every notch is filled in with another piece.Lucie was inspired by Volker's Stuffing Burr...
