What are your thoughts on the T8? I have the opportunity to get it for about $900 USD. Is it worth it? Also, would you consider it a fun puzzle?

I think it is a good Popplock and a really unique solution that I haven't seen in any other puzzle. I had a lot of fun solving it the first time and it took me some time to solve it. Absolutely a Popplock I want in my collection.

How often is a new Popplock released, and what is their average price? Thanks.

Normally once a year but the T11 took longer time so I think it was 18-24 month until it was released. The price have been e.g.:
T11 €750
T10 €360
T9 €320
T8 €200

I just received an email from Rainer about the T11's. My bank account took a huge hit but it is worth it.. KIRK

As I recall, Rainer said that after contacting those with offers to buy directly from him, he would sell the rest of the T11's through the regular puzzle selling sites.

The T11 has come and gone on Puzzle Master and is already out of stock.

I was hoping to receive an email offer from Rainer to buy one, but I guess I was too far down his list. With this sort of demand and limited supplies it looks like it'll be very difficult to buy additional Popplocks for me.

I am still waiting for mine. Almost a month in transit. If Rainer hasn't sent out an e-mail saying that all the T11's are spoken for then I would guess that he has more coming. KIRK
