A new claim to the worlds hardest puzzle

I backed it. My 102nd project backed.

Backed as well.

From what it looks like £94 gets you the puzzle. No mention of additional prices after so to me it reads "pledge 94 and you get a puzzle".

I read it as, "Pledge ₤94 and get the puzzle for a discounted price". Which is the same for the higher pledges as well.

There doesn't appear, to me, any pledge that will earn you the puzzle at no extra cost.

The puzzle will retail at ₤149, but it doesn't state the discount.

I must fail at language comprehension, but it seems fairly plain:

Pledge 94£ or more
*EARLY BIRD SPECIAL* Choose any colour of the Lula Sanity Puzzle for the limited offer price, RRP 149£.

In other words, you pay 94£ and you get to buy it for 149£. So, in effect, you are paying 243£ for the puzzle at the end of the day. Which is supposedly less than what you would pay otherwise.

The only question that stands out is whether your 94£ gets applied to the 149£ you owe - so can you upgrade for 54£, or do you have to pay it separately? The way the site is written, it appears you pay separately. In either case, the guy can take a long walk off a short pier just like voyager.


What is an RRP though?

[TheWaddler]

You got it half right, I think.

The puzzle is set to retail at ₤149 (Recommended Retail Price), which is why it's still ₤149 even if you pledge higher.

Pledging ₤94 or more (including the higher pledges) will allow you to purchase the puzzle at a discounted price, which is not specified. It might just be ₤149 minus your pledge, it could be more, but as I said, it's not specified.

That's how I understand it anywho.

I read it as 94GBP gets you the puzzle where the retail price will likely be 150GBP if this all works. An extra 8 gets you the mini. And 10 shipping outside the UK.

The other selections seem to be there because as the "early bird specials" get sold (50 spots) it moves to Second chance (104GBP and limited to 150 spots) then the Kickstarter Special (114GBP but unlimited spots)...

Maybe thats wishful thinking... i sure hope its not a down payment! :X

Maybe someone should just ask ...... (not me!!) =P
