Excellent choice! It's one of the best (in my humble opinion).

In my case, the T22 is currently giving me trouble...

Don't buy all of them. Just buy the good once, e.g. T2, T6, T8, T9, T11.
T3 is good, but not fun to re-solve again.
I don't know about the T1, but it is so expensive so I guess it isn't worth the price.

It's all a matter of opinion here I guess. Funnily enough the T3 is one of my favourites, along with the T4. To be honest though, they are all pretty exceptional in their own ways.

T5 and T7 are both not good puzzles and not fun to solve. T10 might be fun but seems to be too complicated. I haven't tried T4 so maybe that is a great puzzle too.

I get t10, but I wanted something too complicated, a real hard challenge that will take weeks to solve (I have just solved Ball In Cylinder 2 from Jerry Loo after many months of struggling, with a little hint for the commonest step, and I loved it!) and I have seen only good reviews of t10 on usual blogs even if they were not so enthusiast than with t11, but t11 is the masterpiece of Rainer, is it really as bad as you all say?

How does one acquire two T11s... lol. I don't have the money to purchase one, but when I was trying to get one (Back before March) it was near impossible.

Also I was surprised to see the T5 sell for $1350 recently. Seems like alot for the T5. The only Popplock I own is a T2. Happy to have even one!

Really wanted to grab one of these to add to my collection but couldnt. Hopefully next time around the funds are available.
