i would love a popplock, i'll have to keep an eye out for one from Wil i guess, if there is any still floating around.

T8 in february would be a nice birthday present to myself, plus i'll have time to save for it ;)

You can still get a T7 from Puzzle Master if you're desperate for one. Although I'd recommend reading my review first to see if it's your kind of thing.

ahhh thanks, didn't realise they had one on there ...... WHOA, HOW MUCH?!?!?!

i knew they'd be expensive but not quite that much. Does Rainer make them all by hand then??

oh and i know they'd be my thing, i love picking padlocks and i know these aren't the same but still. also they look amazing :D (i will read your review anywho, and allard's ;))

best start saving then!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm with you there. Simply not enough hours in the day/days in the week/weeks in a month etc. The puzzles tend to come in quite a bit faster than I can write about them. :?

Waddler, if I were you I'd try and track down a Popplock T6. It might take a fair bit of hunting, but it's an absolute gem of a puzzle and the easiest on the wallet as well.

That's exactly what i was thinking, after reading your's and allard's reviews. however i wouldn't know where to look. i'll send Wil an email and see if he can track one down for me, i've heard he's good at that.

Any other places i could try, anyone??

I have been trying to track down a T6 for some time now with no luck. I have contacted Rainer and Wil. The only place I have seen one is on eBay.
