I got cast L'oeuf a little while ago (along with helix, donuts, and G&G). I got it disassembled, but when i attempted to assemble it i noticed that part of the maze was bent badly (on the silver side). I tried to fix it because otherwise it could be impossible to assemble, and then it broke :cry: im going to go to the puzzle shop to ask for an other hanayama instead :lol: it was a nice puzzle but too thin in some places.. :?

That's a shame. That is my favorite Hanayama puzzle. I bought mine while on vacation in Arizona and solved it while following my wife around a mall. Good times.

I know the part you're referring to and I had heard of this happening before.

Does anyone have Cast Galaxy yet? It looks intriguing.

Well if its your favorite then buy some Jean Claude Constantin puzzles! They are n-ary too ;) (well the n-ary ones are :lol: :lol: :lol: )
That galaxy is a new one... I must check it out in google!

Edit: just checked it out, it truly looks amazing! I even have an idea about how to disassemble it :)

You must got a used copy then. I cannot see that this kind of puzzle can "solve itself" in the package.

Hahaha you misunderstood, i didnt get it solved, i just meant that i made it get to the solved position, solved it, got it solved.. Same things :D

Anyway, i got 4 new hanayamas:laby, cylinder, plate, and u&u. Solved plate so far, the 3 others are challenging :D

With the Hanayama NEWS does it matter which side is up? I dug it out of the puzzle drawer to lend it to someone and when I tried to open it I couldn't do it initially.

Mine seems to open in only one orientation. I don't remember this being true when I first opened it. After I opened it I looked for a reason why it doesn't open in both orientations. Both pieces seem identical in form and function.

Any ideas?

Just a simple hint:
Spoiler:
You can open it from both sides,... only the direction changes,..... ;)
