They don't look as beautiful as most of his other pieces, but if you fancy a real puzzle challenge then get one of his packing puzzles. Vinco's packing puzzles are always bloody difficult! The Sandwich took me forever to solve. :shock:

I notice that Vinco's site is currently selling copies of Bi-CycLe, which was Laurie Brokenshire's excellent exchange puzzle for IPP 31.

I wrote about this puzzle HERE

And you can buy this puzzle HERE

Solved the Bi-Cycle today. That kept me busy for a while ;) Nice puzzle, thanks for the recommendation, Oli.

I've started on The Sandwich now. The filling is out and laid out flat like a jigsaw . Now I have to figure out how to pack it all back in through those small holes... :shock:

I love both of those puzzles! Sandwich is very good and who would think it's that tricky. It's a great puzzle to complete

No doubt most of us have been adding to our collections recently ;)

I added another 3 to my ever growing list...

Xcruci8 - After I tried Ali's briefly and failed to complete it at MPP5, had to have one.

Stego - Odd looking shape that I don't have anything close to.

Oh and the reason I went for only 3 is because I also added this beast to my collection...

5puzzles :D

You could do with 2 pairs of hands for this :(

Aaah! So it was you who got the 5 puzzles piece! I did ask about it but he said it was already gone! Just as well really because it is gigantic and I don't really have the space for it! I got 6 other Vinco puzzles instead! :D
His workmanship is superb!

Have you dared dismantle it yet? It is coordinate motion so should come apart fairly easily! I'm not sure anyone has enough hands to put such a monster back together again! Good luck! :shock:

It will look beautiful on display!

Yep I stupidly took it apart last night and then spent 2 hours trying to put it back together again :(

Good job I got a spare piece as well as I managed to snap one during the rather delicate process :roll:

It does however look pretty damn fine and you can even display it upside down (so resting on one with the other 3 in the air) Pic later when I get around to taking one :D

Spill the beans then Kevin, what did you get? :D
