Out of all of them the T6 is generally the cheapest. And I believe original retail value was something like 115 EUR. No idea about current value since one hasn't changed hands for quite a while, but that's an indication.

The original price was less then 115 EUR. I got mine from Wil Strijbos for EUR85/- when he was selling them via his newsletter.

You are right Jerry, mine was €85 also from Wil.

Great value for money!

I still encourage everyone to petition Rainer for a re-release of T1. He told me that no one was interested in T1 but somehow now there is a T7. I think if he feels the love he will make some more T1s for those that didn't catch the Popplock craze fast enough.

I think all of T1-T6 will sell well, I want them all and will buy them as soon as he made them.

Rainer has categorically stated that he will not remake any previous popplocks, particularly T1. Petitioning him will likely only irritate him.

Apparently there were only five T1s he made, making it rarer than even the rare limited edition Revos here. Very unlikely they will change hands.

I'd like to just see one of them... even if it's super easy.

I believe the issue is that it is so challenging that even with the opening instructions some are unable to open it.
