Just got my revenge lock/wanderer at work today. Finally got home and got to play with it. Got it opened and found the tiny wanderer.
Now for the scary part... Trying to reassemble.

Re: Wil Strijbos!!!
Congrats and good luck!
I'm collecting unplated cores! Make me an offer if you are looking to part with any. Always looking for a black and a purple, too
Re: Wil Strijbos!!!
Thanks! Finally just got it back together. Had a heck of a time figuring out one small detail on the reassembly. All in all it took me a good 2-2.5 hrs to get it fully done. It's a pretty neat puzzle. Definitely quite a step up from the lunatic lock. Anyone else get theirs yet and/or solved it?

Re: Wil Strijbos!!!
Picked mine up from Wil yesterday and solved it today.
I'm really impressed with the puzzle! Knowing that it's inspired by the Lunatic Lock certainly gave me a good starting point, but this one is in a whole other league! Probably took me about 1-1.5 hours to properly solve and understand it. I got a bit confused when resetting it.

Re: Wil Strijbos!!!
Awesome! It's a really good puzzle imo. I must have solved it 30 times now. Every time I look at it I just feel like picking it up and solving it. There's one step that even though I fully understand it, it's still tricky to accomplish so I found my own little trick to aid me in the resetting process. I really just love playing with this thing.
Glad to hear someone else is enjoying it too. Hope the rest of you get yours soon!! You'll love it.

Re: Wil Strijbos!!!
I still haven't opened my pachinko box. Haven't spent much time with it but never made any initial progress and just kinda shelved it. Sweta isn't too bad. I actually figured out the solution a long time before I solved it but messed up and apparently never tired it again. Finally months later I gave it another go and my solution worked.
To me, the solution seems simpler and more obvious than the original aluminum cross, if you've solved that one. Definitely don't over think on that one. I think if you think simple about it and just ponder it for a few minutes you'll realize there's really only one thing that can be done.

Re: Wil Strijbos!!!
Hello,
After reading about all of Wil's puzzles I need to try one for myself. The problem is I cannot find where to purchase them. (I am in the US, so that might be an issue.) If anyone had any leads on purchasing his puzzles can you please let me know?
Also, are his older ones still available (first box, angel box, etc).
Thanks.

You can find some of his older puzzles here: http://www.mrpuzzle.com.au/catalogsearc ... r%5B%5D=89
I've purchased from them several times and they are great to deal with.
Best way to get his puzzles are to get on his mailing list and be informed of new arrivals and he updates with what stock he still has. I can PM you his email if you want to send him a message and ask to be put on his mailing list?
