Great review, thanks!

Steve. That's exactly what I did with the speaker as it's too loud without tape. :lol:

I'm still trying to complete it in one complete run. It's very addictive and sufficiently difficult. Thanks for the recommendation. :D

Just ordered a Bedlam cube as it was featured on Dragon's Den. Anyone got one? Is it as hard as people say it is?

Yeah, I have one - great fun although a little frustrating when the darn things don't fit back in!

Nice to show to people once you memorise a way of getting them back in every time. Plastic seems to be stable enough but careful with the box - it feels like that plastic that can snap and crack if knocked slightly (luckily I haven't yet!).

You'll find yourself getting it in but with a couple of bits poking out but still going "There, I've f***ing done it" or "GRRR, close enough!" And stomping off back to your ReVoMazes!

Regards,

Pete

P.S Thinking about getting a Superplexus...

Pete,

Seriously, get Superplexus! For £12.50 (plus postage) from Amazon it's an absolute snip and will give you 'hours' of entertainment (except for the noise which is why you need to tape the speaker up - or turn it off!)

You have to get your ball around the maze, without falling off, going from checkpoint to checkpoint (1 - 100). It's split into 3 stages, each one getting more difficult. You get a time for completing each stage and can start each one independently of the others but the challenge is to do it all in one run - which is not easy at all!

It says it's for 8 years and above but I'd love to see an 8 year old have a go at it and see how long it takes before it's kicked down the end of the garden in frustration. :lol:

Nigel.
