I'm afraid not so. One bonus point is only worth 0.02 GBP-I converted 685 points for my CE and Orange, and it's only got me 13.7 GBP off my Lime. :(

Now that a few people have opened the gold surely it is only right to give the people who have paid (some a very long time ago) the CE sets that they have waited so patiently for! This should be done BEFORE the release of a new puzzle which will entice them to pay out yet more money!

I hope that the huge price bump of the lime and the early release date is not indicative of a financial issue which might make the release of the CE set just a figment of forlorn hope for everyone who has prepaid!

I have no axe to grind here - I have the individual puzzles myself but I would like to see fair play from this company. Why is the lime so expensive? Even more so than the gold? These are not handmade they are machined on automatic equipment. There seems no reason why the cost should have doubled! Maybe increased by 10-20% to cover inflation etc. but this strikes me as price gouging of a hooked market! :(
These are all very valid points. With all this buzz about Lime I would think Chris would chime in at some point.

I am just hoping we dont get some inconsistent puzzle like silver, a dexterity nightmare, or some thing like gold. I dont mind the smaller dexterity parts but I feel like they take away from the enjoyment of the puzzle when they are so crazy.

Yah, I'm voting for dexterity nightmare, with a handful of tricks.

Tough is fine and I think can be done without it being a dexterity nightmare!

also I think because the puzzle is a whole-new concept (stamatic), being the first of it’s kind it has more works going in?
I'd like to know what "stamatic" is supposed to be, I've seen said a few times recently and will happily admit my ignorance.... however, google doesn't seem to know either.

...my guess is it was made up as a blend between "static" and "dynamic" - WhoTF knows what means tho...!

Isn't dynamic that ends up static just the same as broken though? :p

Well at first i thought stamatic was a combination of static and dynamic, but at the end of the day dynamic revos are a combination of static and dynamic components so why rename it?

So i put it into google and a stumbled upon this (the only definition i could find)

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Stamatic

which makes me think that if this is in fact what is meant by stamatic then this puzzle will probably have a seriously heavy weighting in dexterity requirements, which I would NOT be happy to pay £180 for!

Also like Kevin has previously said I don't believe that Chris should be making new puzzles when he still hasn't fulfilled all his outstanding orders!! His priority should be the CE sets!!!!
