The doolorinth (not the newer Daeloring) is simply for sale in this webshop:

Individual ones for the lowest price I ever saw, the whole set at a great price too if you have none of them yet.

Has anyone ever tried any of Oskar's 'Cooksey Tribute' series of puzzles?

Chris you need to take action against this! or at least someone does.

It is a "new" puzzle called groove tube which is an exact plastic knock off of Revomazes...

Well there are many revolving maze puzzle a lot of which were out before Chris designed the revomaze but what makes the revomaze unique is the trap system that guides you back to the start of the maze which is what Chris has patented not the actual revolving maze and from reading that page it is just one of the standard cheap revolving mazes which have been out years!

What is a Groove Tube? A rebrand of an existing puzzle? Looks like a Dael O Ring / Dool ‘O Rinth to me... and they're nothing new. Indeed Louis has a gread thread started here on many such puzzles ;)

Louis kindly sent me one as I had not seen it. You get stuck in the middle and just fumble about :o .

Early ones were cheap flimsy plastic - later had another tube inside to make it heavier and firmer plus they nicked my idea on the main reset line to click :evil:

Yep, suspiciously much looking like a Daeloring to me, a fun puzzle based on the 15 year old Doolorinth design with a smart reset system, no internal traps though. I recommend this toy.
They were supposed to go international this summer, so now they did.
