From that it sounds like he's going to contact the next 30 people who replied first, then they will have the option of buying the locks that will be ready next year.

I purposefully stayed out of it this time after seeing it would be offered again in the future because I knew it wasn't possible for me to afford it this month. I'd hate to be excluded on that basis, because i'd love to get a copy of this. It's cruel to release puzzles in November, when I have no money left for myself =(

If 20 sold out in minutes then I am definitely not in the top 50 when I sent my email over an hour later.. :(

Answer of Rainer Popp:
"I will organize the sale of T11 different.
If that works I will do the same to T3 2nd
Of course you have a chance to get one!"

I asked if the 30 left pieces will be sold to the top 50 who didn't have their this time or if a new mail will be sent when the next batch will be ready to select again the 30 first.
(About my chance of getting one it is just because the mail of rainer popp was in my spam message and I saw it four days later... so I did not answer on time at all)

Thanks for the info.

It sounds like both the T11 and next 30, of T3 2nd, will be a completely new advertisement for buyers. Bummer!!!
So if you were in the group of 21-50 respondents to Rainer's last email you aren't on the list for the next release.
I set up an alarm for emails from Rainer, so I should now be able to respond within 5 minutes or so. Maybe that will help my odds. :)
I wonder when the T11 will be available. sigh :roll:

Saw the T11 email a little late, but I guess that answers our questions. 750€ though... This must be an epic lock :twisted:
I'm collecting unplated cores! Make me an offer if you are looking to part with any. Always looking for a black and a purple, too :?

Looks like he's actually doing like a random-ish draw for who gets to buy his puzzles, offers them, and if they pass goes on to someone else. Kind of like Stickman I guess?

I love the locks but man, not being able to afford 200 EUR earlier this month, I don't think I'll be able to stretch to 750 all of a sudden anyways. Oh well.
