Faze 3 currently have 20% off all Japanese puzzle boxes until Friday evening.
They currently have a couple of interesting Karakuri boxes for sale that would likely cost more from elsewhere.

I'd recommend Triskele. It's a clever little box. Quite unusual.

Don't forget you'll also likely be paying duty on the Karakuri shipment. Plus you don't have to fax your card details anywhere, which is always nice.

Honestly, I'd wait till you meet Satomi at MPP.

The latest email from Faze3 cetainly made me chuckle!

A further 5% reduction will be added to Triskele each evening at 7pm, so by Friday it will be at 40% off!

"But there's only one box. Let's see who has the strongest nerve!"

:D

I think it is unlikely that Satomi has one with her at MPP as most of the more exotic puzzle are for order only. I expect her to have some standard Karakuri boxes and Japanese puzzle boxes for sale on the day.

Discount on Triskele is up to 25% now! :lol:

It's worth pointing out that this version of Triskele is not the official Karakuri one that can be found here, it is actually the Izumiya version found here. So the outer panels are (expertly) made by Izumiya, but the box is still of Karakuri construction. Just in case anyone was curious. :geek:
