Stickman Puzzles?

Post by robbaylis79 »

Not heard of them before, but done a little digging and they look really good.

Where can I buy them as they dont seem readily available, are they all very expensive?

they are hand-made collectable puzzles. not mass produced.
your best bet is signing up for the cubic dissection auctions...

You have to bid on them and they start at 100usd?

Im guessing they go well out of my price range lol.

Shame, they look really nice as well

Moved to 'Other Puzzles Of Interest'.

I can recommend checking out the Puzzle Place page on Robert Yarger (AKA: Stickman) if you'd like a bit more info on some of his puzzles.

Thanks Oli - I see that Puzzle-Place thing even has a forum for the discussion of general (i.e. not necessarily Revo-) puzzle stuff things - AWESOME!

Robert Yarger is the one to speak to about these puzzles. Your best bet to get one is either an auction on Cubic Dissection, or to order it directly from Robert. Expect to pay well over $100 USD. His puzzles are expensive.

However, his book is in the $100 range and I believe he might have some of them left. It is encased in a solid puzzle and is an excellent book. Send him an email and ask if he still has any available.

Wil definitely has a copy or two of the Milestone book (which as Jay said, has a mini-puzzle frame) since I saw them at DCD - note that this is just the book *not* the Milestone puzzle itself which does contain a copy of the book too but is both sold out and a number of times dearer.
