i know mines damaged, all the lines in the maze are angled and mangled. i think the machine messed up or maybe my shaft got melted. i dont know what happened. eh, either way, its open now!

Are we seriously talking about duff revomazes here? :shock: :?
I can't see how this could possibly happen, I can't see how any could be machined wrong and even if they were I'd have thought that whoever assembled them would have noticed :shock:

i'm not, i was making a joke on the feel of the maze versus what we had seen in the blue and green. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of my puzzles. even when a friend of mine dropped my green driectly on is shaft into a concrete patio from a height of 5 feet and the pin got stuck, i got it to work again by giggling it around a little bit. No complaints here!

still cant believe you let 3 people get the black open before you. well theres always the bronze! i guess the main 5 are the important ones to finish first right? ;)

Interesting point that actually...
I was told that all the blacks were due to arrive on the Wednesday and shouldn't be started until then... so despite the voice in my head telling me to do otherwise, my black stayed in its box... until I had an email from Chris telling me some had already been opened due to particularly efficient post in europe, and that I should get cracking on it! :shock:

I guess the openeing times will tell who would actually have opened it first if we'd all have started at the same time (its Farrel and alltech that worry me most)... but we'll just have to sit tight and wait until everyone else has finished before we know :)

Being 1st is nice but the most important thing is just to get on the leaderboard! That might sound a trivial task but there's far less spaces available on the remaining colours! :?

OK, I finally opened mine (some of those ledges were awfully narrow). It was unfortunate that it arrived at a time when I've been really busy so I had to put it aside (I finally gave up trying to find the car I wanted and ordered one instead, should have it early August). Hopefully I'll be able to spend some time with the Bronze when it shows up. And hopefully there won't already be a bunch of people who have it solved before I even get mine which has been the case with all of them so far (international shipping sucks).
