My infamy hits again! :oops:
You are right - I can't resist a good Vinco and there aren't any bad ones!
Another 6 arrived today and that brings me up to 22 in total! :oops: :oops:

I'm sure I could stop buying puzzles if I wanted to - but I don't want to! :D

I'm looking to purchase a few Vinco puzzles from Amazon for reasons of a gift card, and I need your help. Given their current range of products, which puzzles would you recommend? I'd also be more than happy to hear any other suggestions for Amazon puzzles!

Many thanks!

I personally like double desk box, any of he Vinco triangles, The cross box is beautiful, and not too hard to put back together once it falls apart in your hands.

Really you can't go wrong but those I at least have experience with. Kevin should be able to comment more as he has a good few Vinco's in his collection.

Thanks, Neil! Oddly enough, the Double Desk Box and the Cross Box were the two that I had been eyeing. Both are on their way :D

I have somehow acquired a total of 26 Vinco puzzles in my collection!
They are all beautifully made and offer a variety of challenges. It is worth getting a 4 and a 6 piece coordinate move puzzle. They are relatively easy to take apart and quite fiddly to reconstruct. Only get 1 of each type as they all share the same underlying mechanism - it is quite hard to choose just 1 however. It is also worthwhile looking at the various halfcube variants. They are a real challenge and have multiple things to solve. You can't really go wrong with them as they are pretty cheap. Others that I like include the tetrahedron and the Matrioshka.

If you do a search on my blog then you will find quite a few reviewed!
