Although if you want to start off with a Popplock to solve then the T7 probably isn't the best way to go in my opinion. I'd save your money, keep your ear to the ground and aim for any one of the others.

Agree with Oli. I would recommend you start off with the T6, its the least expensive of the Popplocks and provides a good challenge.

The even cheaper alternative is to get a Lunatic Lock by Gary Foshee. PuzzleMaster of Canada is selling them via Ebay at reasonable prices

This way, if you decide you don't like puzzle locks, well, at least you didn't plonk down a lot of cash.

Well even if you do buy a popplock and decide you dont like puzzle locks its not as if you will lose money on it when you come to sell it

So I give up! Cannot work the T6 out, been trying for almost a couple of years now...
I solved the T7 immediately, but the T6's solution seems to be beyond my reach.
I think I will put both puzzles for sale on eBay. I shall take a night's sleep and then make up my mind tomorrow...

Bummer :(

Surely my experience with the blu Revo helped building instinct for solving patterns like these, but I cannot help thinking that the T7 is way too easy as it is (although beatifully crafted).

^M0rk^

p.s. I also own a T6, and it's still driving me crazy after many months... I cannot find a way to unlock it ^>.<^

FWIW, you'd be better selling those on Puzzle Paradise...

Why don't you sell them to one of us? There are at least three members interested including myself.

Any guesses on what a T6 Popplock would sell for :?:
Do I need to mortgage my house? :lol:
Just had a funny image pop into my mind. In the Pixar
movie "Finding Nemo" when the crab held the fish up
out of the water all the seagulls were saying "mine, mine,
mine". Really funny as all of us that would like the T-6.
