Does anyone have 1 of these puzzles? Do they know if they can be brought in the UK?

Ive not played with a burr puzzle before and this looks like lots of fun...

If I am not wrong, PuzzleMaster.ca sells this and they do ship internationally...

Is this a burr?

Yes they do, im just a little put off by the stories of all the charges that get added for shipping and tax etc..

Yes its all held together by burrs

Here is a website I just found which has other types, they look very nice

Wow, amazing these house burrs...there's a massive one that cost $1,600/-!!!

They are indeed. Im very tempted to buy 1 to be honest. With the Mercury on its way (Wishful thinking) and the Lime still untouched I think I should wait before parting with more cash though haha

i have this exact one bought from puzzle master, and in all honesty its not worth what you pay the puzle arrived with slight twists etc in certain pieces and the high piece count is very misleading as about half the pieces make up the crossed wooden slats and the individual pieces are very very delicate and a likely to break if you try disassembling the slats (i did it once broke a few pieces then glued them all back together so they are solid pieces now).

As a burr puzzle not all that challenging I took it apart the morning i got it in about 10 minutes then spent about 1.5 hours reassembling it the following day (without the use of a picture), but it will still take me about 30 min to reassmble it knowing exactly where all the pieces go.

IMOH if you can get one cheap buy it but i wouldnt recommend paying full price for one! Your better off buying somthing like mega six from Mr Puzzle(Australia) that took me about 12-15 hours and its half the price.

Well im glad I heard from you 1st Rich, was very tempted at 1st. Thanks for letting me know
