So who on here has pre-ordered either of these amazing looking puzzles?

After missing out on the Opening Bat a few years ago (still one of my all time favourite puzzles) I was determined not to let Katie Koala escape me! I even made it into batch one. Super excited just doesn't cover it.

Six of one looks great also, I love puzzles that are not as they initially appear so its right up my street :)

I'm sure a lot of the pre-orders are members of this forum so I thought I would start a thread :)

First batch? Well done! By the time I saw it, there were only 2 left.

Wow. That's gone a lot faster than the Opening Bat. Glad I have my copy reserved.

The Koala certainly sounds like it's going to be one hell of a puzzle, sadly it is significantly out of my price range at the moment.

Come on Oli ... Put 60GBP away each month, and by the time Brian has it made you'll have the money for it. It's not as far out of reach as you'd think!

To be fair the only reason I made it into the first batch is because I messaged Brian months ago specifically asking about any upcoming limited editions.

I must admit it had turned out to be more expensive than I initially planned for, but from the description I think its going to be worth it! It just means I am not going to be buying any other puzzles for a while!

I love the idea of having to find and assemble another puzzle from parts found in the main koala.

I just hope I will eventually get that door open!

You're definitely right, when you put it like that it almost sounds cheap! :D

But I'm saving for a certain event in August...so I'm attempting to be very restrained for the months running up to then. :?

Thats my plan, since it wont be shipping until possibly 2015.
