I think it worth the money if you like this kind of puzzle. For me it wasn't my cup of tea. It is a great puzzle and mechanics. I don't think he will lower the price, so if you want it, I think you have to pay the price. I believe it is really expensive to manufacture this puzzle, due to the mechanics and its size.

Just a quick question. How long has it taken to get a puzzle from Wil shipped to the states?

I just received my first Wil package containing Washer Cylinder, Aluminium Cylinder, Aluminium Cross, Spiral and a moon puzzle.

I got the Cross and Aluminium Cylinder opened and closed and they are great. Total accident on the Cylinder and a little blind fumbling on the cross. I couldn't guess how the cross was working and an idea I had on the cylinder was way off the mark.

Great puzzles. I've on the list for a lotus and first box ( I've been a hard working bunny :) ). I may add a few little trinkets when the package is getting ready.

..... not opened the Washer Cylinder yet then ;) :lol: Good luck.

And the moon puzzle, would that happen to be a Der Mond. I really like that one, small and fun.

Your first package sounds very similar to my first Wil Strijbos package (of many!!) ;)

The washer cylinder is still closed and I think it's gonna be some time before I get that one open.

Can't wait for package number 2. Soon I hope :)
