Good luck to everyone.. Keep you fingers crossed. The price this year for the T13 was steep. 790 euros inc VAT. It's $933 US plus shipping.. Whew, I guess it's off to the local University to collect some bottles and cans for the deposit.. KIRK

I love puzzles, but to me personally, more than 300 euros for a puzzle is too much.
I know the puzzle is worth it, alot of time is put in to design and manufacture it, but I will simply never buy such a puzzle.
Also imho these Popplocks are too big, I very much prefer smaller puzzles that you can carry around and take with you on holidays for instance.
So I hope that maybe Rainer will create smaller intricate puzzle locks in the future

Yes, they start to be really expensive now. I didn't think too much over the price when I answered the mail but now I am thinking if I should buy or not.

I never take any puzzles outside my home and normally I sit down with a table infront of me when I solve puzzles. I kind of like the size of the puzzles and prefer a little bit larger puzzle, at least when the quality is good. But maybe they are a little bit on the heavy side

Oh wow, that is quite a hefty price... don't see how I could justify it but since I haven't been contacted it doesn't seem like a problem I need to solve. Knowing that the resellers will be even higher makes it so that only rich puzzlers can do it. I might never have one of his locks, so I'll just have to live vicariously through everyone else's stories!

Aldan thanks for the pictures. Fingers crossed, the wait goes on. I would hate not to get one when I have a complete set as it is.. I wonder if Wil Strijbos will have any like last year? KIRK
