Help to find 2 Dai Nagata Puzzles

[Spanishlovemachine]

Hi there,
I am having a hard time finding 2 specific puzzles produced by Dai Nagata. I searched his homepage (which is not working for me and neither the email there) and can only find the 6 "case" puzzles he manufactured.

The 2 puzzles I am after are "Twin Snake" & "Flip Side", however, may be the names are different meanwhile and this is the reason I am not able to find them.

If there is anyone who can help with a link or want to sell his own copy please answer and I will reply or contact you personally.

Thanx
Klaus

Hi Lucie,

May be that is of help!

Is that second one not just a wood version of Hanayama's Cast Coil?

Hi AFKAN,
shape-wise it looks similar, but the targets are different. With the one I am seeking the targets are:

1) Assemble to make the symbol picture on the puzzle
2) Assemble so that the black line makes a complete loop

I believe Twin Snake is indeed the original wooden version of what later became the Cast Coil.

Hm, yes from the link provided it seems you both are right which is good news on one hand (Cast Coil is widely available) but the original version is therefore limited to those who attented that specific IPP event

One to go, friends. Anyone owning the Flip Side or can share an adress for me to contact?
