The past week at Puzzling Times HQ has been pretty epic
puzzle-box-wise...
It started when a copy of Randal Gatewood's Keeper's Key
Safe Deluxe arrived from Canada, followed shortly thereafter by a Pencil Case
#2, fresh from the workshop of Kagen Schaefer, but things went from rather nice
to jolly awesome when a package from a Dutch collector arrived with four
Stickman puzzleboxes in it for me ... and just when I was thinking it couldn't
possibly get much better, Robert Yarger's latest creation (Stickman #26) The
Celestial Puzzlebox was delivered this morning...
...add to that the large pile of Eric Fuller creations and a
pair of new Kostick creations, several sliding tile puzzles from Diniar and
bunch of things obtained from Wil when he was over for our last MPP and it's clear
that I'm going to be a very happy puzzler for quite some time!
... and there's
plenty to be blogged about!
I'll be back...
So we're on bread and water rations again are we? (Note to self: remember to separate grocery budget from puzzle budget) ;-)
ReplyDeletePoor Gil!
DeleteSandra knows your pain! My bespoke twisty puzzles have also cost quite a bit but not quite at the "bread and water" stage! Luckily for her, I don't have the same connections as Allard to buy Stickman boxes otherwise I would have to learn to photosynthesise!
Wow! I am jealous.
