Description

Where, oh where do I begin with this utterly wild and marvelous puzzle?

Do I start with how it's the third in the series and how tacroy went extremely far with the presentation and lore of this puzzle's backstory, steadily building it up puzzle by puzzle for a wonderful climax once the third puzzle has been solved which feeds back into the clues and snippets hidden in the prior 2 puzzles of this trilogy?

Should I cover how the puzzling was incredibly fun and brought me on a wild ride with very creative mechanisms that I never even considered being implemented in 3d printing before? How I felt like an Indiana Jones working as an archeologist uncovering long lost secrets that came with a risk of death to the people involved with these artifacts? Tacroy's touch of "aging" the prints to look older and more authentically ancient was a lovely design choice!

All in all, I had an absolute blast with these puzzles, and while I think it's ideal to get all 3 puzzles in the series and to tackle them in order, tacroy kindly designed the puzzles to be solved in isolation without requiring the prior puzzles in the series for this one.

This puzzle places very high on my list of favorite 3d printed puzzles!

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 buyers.

I am willing to consider other desired 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.

Finally, we're in the crush of the Christmas holiday season which may mean delays or difficulty delivering packages. So if the winner of this auction wishes for me to hold off on shipping them out, let me know and I'd be willing to wait until a better time to ship out.

Small Box: Block C and Creature P by Osamu Kasho (Karakuri)

Small Box: Block C and Creature P is such a cute and quirky puzzle by Kasho. He crafted it with such stunning skill that it looks like a solid block of wood with no visible seams. And it's a lovely puzzle that's fun to work through even if it's on the easier side!Furthermore, the name explains that there are 2 versions of this puzzle with identical outsides. "Small Box: Block C" is the base puzzle where the solver simply needs to open up the box. "and Creature P" indicates that it was a special ...

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...

Knot-a-2x2 by Rex Perez

Knot-a-2x2 made for a wild flashback to my younger years playing with a Rubik's Cube. I'll be honest here, I struggled just as badly here as I did back then with the Rubik's Cube hahaha.I had fun with Rex's prior designs when he was mostly selling coin releases and burrs, so when I heard that he was designing an SD for seemingly the first time, I knew I had to get it. And hearing that it's based on the design of a Rubik's Cube, that just sealed the deal.The goal is to scramble up the cube so you...

Japanese Yosegi Sliding Box

This is one of many, many, many yosegi boxes where the goal is to open up the puzzle box by moving panels around on the 6 sides of the box and sometimes with further tricks involved. It's not a terribly difficult puzzle. In fact, it's fairly easy and I'd use it to introduce non-puzzlers to the hobby as the first starter puzzle for them. I liked how cute it was and fun to find the next move in this solve. The only complaint I'd have is that the seams of the panels were a tad too visible, but that...
