A crack team travelled to the recent King's Day market in Eindhoven with the sole aim of finding a puzzle to flip. We wanted to raise funds for Steve and Ali's Friday night kebabs. We walked* past Popp Locks, Stickman's, Coffins, Pelikan's, Menolds, Lensch's, Foshee and Berrocals, all at bargain prices and ripe for flipping. But we chose to not buy them and only mention them here to boost our search rankings.
The puzzle we selected was, of course, this highly complex* 47, yes FORTY - FRICKEN- SEVEN piece kumiki burr. It is the rarest* of those in the set and features Daddy Pig. Daddy pig is daddy to Peppa and George and the devoted husband of Mummy Pig. He likes to laugh, but does get a little grumpy when he loses his glasses. He has a permanent 5'o clock shadow and is frequently fat shamed by Peppa who ridicules him for being unfit and overweight. His glasses, stubble, smiling face and big fat tummy all feature in the assembled puzzle.
The puzzle, as far as we can tell is made from foam in the UK, but it might be the Netherlands and possibly China. I only mention this because there is a slim chance the winner of this auction could be in the USA but a strong chance the end bid will dramatically exceed the tariff de-minimis.
I've added a picture of both the front and back of the box, even though the back of the box ***clearly**** shows the solution. The back of the box is perfect for any budding linguists who need to know the word instructions in not one, not two, not three but eleven different languages. It's a good job the solution is shown, this puzzle is so complex we don't think it can be modelled in BurrTools.
The puzzle will ship from the UK and since it has been in our possession it has been stored lovingly in a temperature and humidity controlled, smoke-free, pet-free, vegan-free, clean room. Never solved, the pieces are still pristine in their foam sheets ready to be prodded out. Not wood, not metal, not even 3D printed, just squidgy foam.
So confident am I that every serious collector will want this puzzle is being listed at a starting price of a penny. Shipping will be at cost from the UK and payment by Cash, Wise, Paypal will all be accepted, the rarest* of all the puzzle making materials.
Feel free to ask any questions about this item but more importantly just place a bid for this exceptionally rare puzzle. I've set the bid increments to one penny, bid a penny more than the current price and you'll be able to tell all your puzzle friends that you bid on, led and maybe won the best puzzle ever! Ignore the price on the front of the box, we didn't pay that and it is clearly misleading and undervalues this almost priceless puzzle.
