Anything going on with these?

Why did you guys get 2 golds each? 1 to keep unopened?

I got two sets... it's kind of a long and slightly contrived story

I asked for info on the handmades, was told to expect an update in the next few days.

Translation: not enough time, something incomplete, something found wrong, being fixed, Chris wants to save us from madness (unlikely), who knows what. :p

How many times do we have to tell you to go back to the Gold before you start on your Handmade? Nobody has ever opened a Handmade without first opening a Gold.

I really should throw my handmade at you, along with the gold.

However, just so you know, you should finish the Orange first, as nobody has completed the Gold without doing the Orange first.

...go back to the Gold before you start on your Handmade...

I'd be quite surprised if this were the case.
I've seen parts of a Gold core and I can virtually guarantee that it'll take you no more than 5 or 10 minutes of playing with one to have a mental image of what I've seen but you'll still be hours away from solving it. I'm pretty sure if you were handed a core and given a minute to study it you'd still take just as long to open it I'd love to see the maps that people come up with for it

It'll be even more amusing considering the advertised differences between all 250 puzzles. Every map will have to be different..going to be crazy!

It'll be interesting to see (or find out) just HOW different they are though.. that has always made me curious.

This has had me very curious as well

I actually have 3 Golds. one as part of my collection (if you haven't noticed I collect 1 of everything Revo and they must all be #20). So that naturally includes a titanium #20 (gold plated AU0020CE). and the 3rd gold... well I love Revo so much that people learned that the only way to get me to stop telling them about revo, is to try one. then if you are smart enough to get through the first dozen steps, i'm not going to shut up until you buy one. so a friend of mine bought set #00008SE off eBay when chris auctioned the first 12 off a couple years ago. Blue was won by Bit1313 who wont give it up and Green was stolen by by my buddies girlfriend. so that leaves the 3 "metal" extremes.

My buddy didnt have the cash up front, so i bought them for him, then he couldnt pay me back, so he just gave them back to me.

The bronze: hes gotten as far as the "swimming pool" several times. he determined it was broken so i had to test it for him. I opened it on my first try (a feat i have yet to reproduce on my own bronze). I has not been registered as opened.

Silver: Other than unboxing it to see its beauty, i dont think its been touched. its a V1 with a spare v2 shaft.

Gold: this will come eventually. chris used to hand engrave the number which was cool because it was done after plating leaving a brass number on a nickel shaft. so they were slightly delayed, i assume the gold will be the same way.

I'll probably post pictures tonight, but my auction wont start until RevoMates auction end as i dont want to devalue his auctions at all. i'll delay the start and post on here when they will start when i get those times.
