I'm still going to wait, what else can I do. Just disconcerted that PuzzleMaster listed the T11 on their website.

I saw one for sale on Grand Illusions (800£), as it disappeared now, I think they are also out of stock!

I waited to post until my T11 had arrived. Rainer says that I received the last one that he had for sale. I'm happy but poorer now. I took the key to play with while waiting for my wife to give me the Lock on my birthday later this month. The key is a beautiful piece of work. I'll just have to wait for the main event. :D

My T10 remains unopened. I had to peek at instructions. The German and English instructions vary. Is 270 or 180 correct? I hope that doesn't give too much away but I'm guessing I'm to only puzzler who still hasn't opened his T10. Thanks

If you had a choice and could only pick one... would you get the T9 or T10? Assuming they cost the same amount.

I agree. The T9 without question.

Can't speak for the T10, but the T9 is a great Popplock

Meanwhile, I got my birthday T11.

Hmmm...

After examining and experimenting with it, it remains exactly as it was when delivered.
Nothing that I can do makes any difference and there are precious few things that I can do to it.

I had more luck with the Silver revomaze. At least I was able to get to the not-a Canyon.
With the T11, it's like I can't even get out of a revomaze start ring.
Well, it's only been 1 day...

I gave the solution to my wife and she will offer me one step per month, assuming I don't make any progress. This way the T11 will eventually be opened.

While some would rather never resort to the instructions, I think that if I can't figure out one step in a month I'd rather move onto the next challenge. I'm sure some steps will be easier than others. I still expect that it will be about a year before it's open.

The T10 is a spectacle to see. I love showing it off as you get the immediate "Oh, there's something weird about this lock" effect when someone touches it. The T9 is more nuanced and overall, a more appealing puzzle to me. I'd never sell either though.
