Description

Up for auction is a pristine example of the R2D2 mechanical puzzle, designed and meticulously crafted by the renowned German designer Roger Dieckmann. Known for his high-end aluminum "pocket-sized" challenges, Dieckmann's work is a staple in any serious mechanical puzzle collection.

​The Design

​Don’t let the minimalist aesthetic fool you. Milled from a solid block of high-grade, sandblasted aluminum and protected by a clear acrylic face, the "R2D2" (stylishly engraved on the side) is a masterpiece of precision engineering. The puzzle features two large internal steel spheres and one small "runner" ball, all secured by stainless steel hex bolts.

​The Challenge

​At first glance, it appears to be a simple dexterity maze. However, collectors know that Roger D puzzles often hide a clever physical "trick." The larger spheres act as gatekeepers, requiring more than just a steady hand to navigate the smaller ball from start to finish. It is a satisfying solve that rewards logic over luck.

​Condition & Details

  • ​Condition: Excellent/Near-Mint. The aluminum body shows the original crisp, sandblasted texture. No deep scratches on the acrylic.
  • ​Engraving: Features the iconic stylized "r2d2" script on the side rail.
  • ​Dimensions: Approximately 80mm x 40mm x 20mm.
  • ​Origin: Made in Germany.

​Auction Information for Collectors

​This piece is currently out of stock at most major retailers and is increasingly difficult to find on the secondary market. It is a must-have for fans of metal puzzles or those who collect the "Roger D" series.

​Shipping: Will be packed with extreme care (bubble-wrapped and boxed) to ensure the acrylic remains scratch-free during transit.


Shipping paid buy buyer and determined at close of auction. I will do my best to find the cheapest shipping options.
