Rainer Popp - Popplocks

I will also try to keep my eyes opened and send you a PM if I find anyone out there for you.

Good luck to everyone.. Keep you fingers crossed. The price this year for the T13 was steep. 790 euros inc VAT. It's $933 US plus shipping.. Whew, I guess it's off to the local University to collect some bottles and cans for the deposit.. KIRK

I love puzzles, but to me personally, more than 300 euros for a puzzle is too much.
I know the puzzle is worth it, alot of time is put in to design and manufacture it, but I will simply never buy such a puzzle.
Also imho these Popplocks are too big, I very much prefer smaller puzzles that you can carry around and take with you on holidays for instance.
So I hope that maybe Rainer will create smaller intricate puzzle locks in the future

Yes, they start to be really expensive now. I didn't think too much over the price when I answered the mail but now I am thinking if I should buy or not.

I never take any puzzles outside my home and normally I sit down with a table infront of me when I solve puzzles. I kind of like the size of the puzzles and prefer a little bit larger puzzle, at least when the quality is good. But maybe they are a little bit on the heavy side

Oh wow, that is quite a hefty price... don't see how I could justify it but since I haven't been contacted it doesn't seem like a problem I need to solve. Knowing that the resellers will be even higher makes it so that only rich puzzlers can do it. I might never have one of his locks, so I'll just have to live vicariously through everyone else's stories!

That was really fast shipping. I have not got any reply yet so I have to just wait and hope for the best.

Thanks for the pictures!

Congrats Aldan! Looks really big and heavy Enjoy the solve and can't wait to hear from people solving it

[Kirk2000]

Aldan thanks for the pictures. Fingers crossed, the wait goes on. I would hate not to get one when I have a complete set as it is.. I wonder if Wil Strijbos will have any like last year? KIRK
