Had my eye on the Karakuri cake boxes for a while - expect many of you have too.
So rather pleased to see Puzzlebox world offering 25% off any/all of the 4 - if you know the special code that is!
They do a facebook page (not that I am a member - hate it! - but you can view the page without being a member, as below) and on there they sometimes show discount codes.

Dont know how long the offer is, or their stock levels, but I have just ordered all 4 with standard international shipping to the UK for a total of $165 - thats £103 all in for us in the UK.
Wanted to share the good news.

Here's another topic to discuss another of the big names in the puzzle world; the Karakuri Creation Group.
I think that they make some of the most beautifully made wooden puzzles, and it would be great to see what everyone else thinks.
Here are some examples from my collection;
Karakuri Cube 1 by Puzzleparadox, on Flickr
Karakuri Cube 2 by Puzzleparadox, on Flickr
Karakuri Cube 3 by Puzzleparadox, on Flickr
Karakuri Cube 4 by Puzzleparadox, on Flickr
So what Karakuri items do you own?
What items do you see yourself buying in the future?
And what items are on your 'wish I could afford it' list?

Re: Karakuri Creation Group
I just received my #2 and #4 of the Karakuri Cubes.
While I enjoyed #4 - part of the puzzle was a bit loose, which helped make the puzzle a bit easier than I would have liked, but a very clever opening nonetheless.
#2 was a bit tighter, which made the solution much harder to find as nothing was just going to pop open.
Both of them are beautifully made. I'd like to buy #1 and #3 - but my birthday is coming up soon and I've placed them on my wishlist and nudged my girlfriend to go look at it. Hopefully I'll have some interesting puzzles soon!
