I have now decided to stop over thinking and just go with it!

Hopefully I will like what I get. =)
You WILL like what you get, I am slowly grow a fair collection of puzzles and the REVOMAZE is by far the best I have, this is including the Danlock,ISIS series and the like. As for the resolve-ability and the ability to hand it to a laymen and have them enjoy it is very high.

Well that is what I'm looking for, I want something which is fun every time you do it, like a Rubik's cube, something you can relax with after a hard day and stimulate the brain. =)

As for the resolve value, it's very much like a Rubik's cube for me. The first part is the longest, but after that it's "how fast can I do this?". I just solved my puzzle on saturday, and I have re-opened it about a hundred times since then (seeing the maze inside and how it works never gets old for me).

EDIT: Now that I think about it, it's not like a Rubik's cube in terms of the difficulty in solving it again. Even though you know what the maze looks like, you still fall into the traps often.

The Rubik's is actually quite hard, if you try and solve it without using any guides or help like me. =)
Though I have still never managed to solve it. =/

Well here I am again, adding to another thread because its title sounds appropriate. I am hoping that this finds its way to new potential Revomazers:

Its been a while since I Revo'd. All my puzzles are solved. I spend most of my puzzling time sharing my Obsessions with friends and trying to make a worthwhile Orange map.

Finally after much delay, I purchased my RedX and it finally arrived. The whole RedX experience was much like my Blue experience.

Because of changes in packaging, my Red showed up in a tube instead of the box we are all used to. (when new packaging is available it'll come later) Seeing the tube was really exciting for me eventhough is was dull brown with white caps. Its been so long since I recieved a new puzzle that it felt like a whole new adventure, much like the Blue.

When I pulled the Red out and placed it in my hand, I was amazed by its weight. Not that its any heavier or lighter than any other Extreme; its just the sheer awesomeness of holding a new Revomaze in your hand for the first time. I cant help but just stare in awe of the glorious beauty we call RevoMaze. This is my 6th (and a half if you count silver v1) Revomaze and every time i open one I feel like Indiana Jones getting his hands on a new treasure.

And to think, thats just me opening the packaging. Imagine what it feels like to open the actual puzzle!
