New 1 week auction just started and Allard has the chance to buy a few more Stickman's to add to the collection - if he has any funds left that is!
Some interesting looking puzzles on offer though.

"Stickman checkmate" is drool-worthy.

You should see the internal mechanism!

There are a few beauties on Paradise at the moment.
Marcel Gillen's 'Rook' puzzle for example, definitely worth a bid! Also 'Cage Rage' is possibly the best example of the ball in a cage puzzle, plus it's very hard to find one!
Not that I'm suggesting you buy them, I don't want to seem like a bad influence on you guys.

The rook was the first puzzle I bid on earlier when seeing the new auction was on - been outbid since though. Would go nice with your King puzzle!

Yeh, I was tempted by the Pagoda but I've had too many new puzzles lately
That said, I still planned to bit on the 'Rook' and maybe 'Cage Rage', looks like they've had a fair bit of early interest which probably means they won't go cheap

It was me that outbid you! Since then I've been outbid. Can we be open as to how many of us want this and come to an agreement not to bid against each other or the price will be silly!

...at the risk of being found to be colluding, I'm interested, but haven't bid on it yet... (I'm also 'interested in' a number of high end puzzles being offered...)
