Hi,
I live in Sweden and am not aloud to buy stuff from Bits And Pieces. They have interesting puzzles now and then and for the moment I want these:
US:
Galaxy Metal Puzzle
Next Floor Ball Maze
Unlink Metal Puzzle
UK:
Knot Simple Metal Puzzle
So the question is, Are there anyone of you here that can buy these puzzles and send them to me? Or do you know where to find them??

I know it's not what you're looking for, but personally I'd recommend that you don't touch Bits & Pieces with a 10-foot barge pole.
They have a long history of sub standard products and even worse customer service. I ordered from them once before, and after receiving a box full of broken items it took me months to get my money back from them with no hint of an apology.
They have produced the occasional good puzzle, but I'd always avoid any puzzles by them unless it's already recommended by another puzzler.
The original mass produced version of 'Galaxy' is called 'Great Collision', and can be bought from Puzzle Master:

'Next Floor' is also available from Puzzle Master or
LaserExact

^ this X 10.
I'm not sure I've seen a Bits and Pieces product that I've thought was work the money (mainly because of poor build quality)... maybe with the exception of the brass cannon. Indeed I'm also aware of people placing orders and paying only to be told that the item is out of stock temporarily and they'll send it when its back in stock - many months later it still didn't turn up.
Save your money and spend it on a really nice puzzle instead.

The link was not to Puzzle Master and I cannot find the Next Floor at their web page. Please post the link again. I have other puzzles I want to buy from Puzzle Master so that would be great.

Oops, my bad. I seem to have gotten a bit confused there.
Puzzle Master does not currently stock the Next Floor puzzle.
