I was thinking you were on drugs for a minute there Matt (or Revos had melted your brain :lol: ) but I worked it out in the end. Lol. He has come among us. Probably because he knows we will soon all be damned, with the arrival of the Gold :lol:

The Collectors is actually a bargain if you break it down on a $ per Revo basis. But yes, for those who already have a set I can see it would be a stretch, or for those who are trying to save for each one, it is a bit of a big hit at once.

I thought long and hard about Nickel or Gold. I went Nickel, because although the Gold would look sexy, as i'll be closing the mazes and reopening them, I figured the Gold may be too soft and the Nickel will be harder wearing.

And bloody RevoGirl bent my arm and talked me into getting the Red and Orange as well. She's pure evil :twisted: ;)

i broke down the price, and it ends up as an awesome deal where only 2 of the puzzles are currently lower than the price they would be in the CE, and those are blue and green, the other 3 would be higher, and as for titanium, i would want it simply due to the fact that i want one of each revomaze. this will be fun though. convince my parents to elt me buy 656.10 dollars worth of these puzzles

I think I inquired a while back as to whether or not CE #27 was still available ... guess I need to dust off the credit card regardless. While the gold plate would look awesome, I'm requesting the set be assembled (especially TI) so nickel plate will be my perference.

I'm actually not sure why one would want to receive the puzzles fully unassembled. If you are a newbie - you'd want them closed up - If you are an avid collector you'd never assemble them ... which kind of defeats the whole puzzle thing.


Thoughts??? Would you get your set assembled or unassembled ? why ?

unassembled. the point of the CE, if im not mistaken is for collectors, nd collectors would hav it solved already. i think it makes sense. i will be puttingg them together as i solve them. so once i do blue, i will take the shaft out nd put it back into the case, then put together the green. so on
