Re: Hanayama Cast Puzzles
I found the Equa quite easy. Only took about 20 minutes to open. Took 2 days to put it back together though 
black obs v1
Blue Ob v2 = Opened
Bronze Ex = Opened
Orange Ex = Opened
Silver Ex = Opened 35-40 hours
Lime = In preparation...
Titanium = Opened 6/7 hours (Loved that final run)
Copper = On its way...

I can get the two pieces apart and manipulate them, I just need to find the trick and release them now

BACK ON TOPIC: Oh and I just got an Elk as well. Had one a while back that we got from a Christmas cracker (back when cracker toys were good!!), but it has since been misplaced so I can't tell whether it was a Hanayama one or not. But I got a new one now anywho

IMHM, I think Cast News is one of the best. Well made, aesthetically appealing and very challenging from a puzzling perspective!03SVTCobra wrote:Picked up
