Good news: it's here, nice and shiny. Outer appearance exactly like Chris (Bluesign) described. A large amount of WD40-like stuff on/in it, but not so much that I would let it slip, I would never let that happen!
After unpacking (plastic bag, sturdy envelope, bubblewrap, box, foam, bubble wrap, plastic bag, plastic net) I grabbed a stand (from the black, and I put the yellow coin in it! -) and took pictures. Then I took pencil, eraser & paper to start mapping. I sat down and took the first turn and click.
Bad news: At that moment a pan in the kitchen started to boil over.
Good news: I put down the Revo immediately and saved our meal.
Bad & sad news: while holding the pan, I heard "bang, bang" two heavy knocks, sounded like metal on a marble floor...
My Revo had rolled off the table because I had put it down next to the stand in my hurry to save the meal... the floor won
Then my daughter heard me say something that I shouldn't have said.
Good news: The Revo seems to behave perfectly, it has a unique sleeve now, with 4 more flat patches than before.
And the meal was fine.
After dinner I spent an hour on it and I encountered no problems (other than traps). Now I have a decent part of a map. I am not going to say anything specific about it, but it is not blue!-) All owners should have the same fun & joy as I had while discovering what this maze is about.
Should there be a "handmade registered" area where we can discuss the maze while being stuck here and there ?
Or are we fine with discussing it in public as it is unlikely that we spoil anything for future buyers. But then again, in the public area we cannot mention parts of other mazes to compare it with...
Any thoughts?
