Re: Wil Strijbos!!!

Post by kev1n »

Whilst not entirely about Wil Strijbos, I thought I addd in that my 3 puzzles from Wil arrived whilst I was at work and so did another package. Santa has definitely arrived early this year and it's a shame I'm too busy to actually play now.

The big question is: what do I start with? Should I go straight for the Lotus? What about all the cubes? Plus I got some twisties!
How do I choose?

Package from today:

Mr Fuller sent these just over a week ago:

Let's not forget my recent twisties:

And this doesn't include my November deliveries!!!

HELP I need a bigger room!!!

Kevin...you have a problem...






You're still missing a few. :twisted:

Those pillowed 2x4x4 and 3x5x5s look great by the way!

kevin, you lucky **** :lol: :lol:

the Uranus is a great Burr, love the way it comes together. You shouldn't have trouble with that one.

the 4 Stones Labyrinth is good, you shouldn't have trouble with that one either. ;)

so maybe start with those?!? ;)

but it's all about the Lotus!!!

mine is still not budging :lol: 8-)

Don't overlook this one, Waddler - its good puzzling value for 10 euro. :

Waddler, it is the "2 Rings Teddy (Hanayama)" from Wil's Dec. newsletter C

It is just at the bottom of Kevin's picture of his Wil Strijbos haul.. Easy to miss when the eye is drawn to all the other goodies ;)

cool, i'll have a gander, may end up putting another order in :? :lol:


UPDATE:

well, i seem to be pretty useless at Wil's puzzles. i managed the Dovetail Cubes and T (very nice!!), and completed the 4 Stones Labyrinth (which i enjoyed!!) but the Washer Cylinder isn't doing anything and neither is the Lotus. Also im still stuck on the First Box, which btw i've had for nearly two months now!!!! :shock: :oops:

Finally solved Lotus this evening (after having merely opened and closed it, fully, a few times, up to now...)

Classic Strijbos ... And evil! :)
