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.

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...

Turtle Trip by Gerard Hudson

I almost feel like I'm selling off my grandparent's ashes and belongings with this one. Turtle Trip was the very first major 3d-printed puzzle I bought that wasn't just a packer or tic puzzle while also being one of the first sequential discovery puzzles which introduced me to the ever-popular puzzling genre.It's sentimental on multiple levels how much I've enjoyed keeping this puzzle around for years on end. I even miss Gerard since he vanished from MPD 3 years ago. I sincerely hope he simply d...

Simple Lock 1 by Ben

Simple Lock was the first puzzle Ben ever released, and he knocked it out of the park!People found it hard, but raved about it so much after solving it. It's a very high quality lock puzzle in craftsmanship and ingenuity of the mechanisms. There's even a lovely panel on the back solvers can take off to see how it all worked inside too! I thought of it as a more toned down version of a Popplock. It's not as big or heavy, but the solve and high-precision machining is on the same level! Who wouldn'...

Smuggler's Hold by Jesse Born

When it comes to Jesse's puzzles, Smuggler's Hold is a nice compact one which makes carrying it around easy so I can show it off to friends and family without much worry about it being too big or delicate to share! It looks incredible as if it's an actual smuggling pirate's artifact and is deceptive in how much puzzling it can hide away in such a tiny space!I wouldn't consider it the best of Jesse's work, but that's because he's got so many utterly astonishingly incredible puzzles which overshad...
