I really like the Plugged Well. Took me a long time to open,.....
I like the fact it is real straight forward puzzle. No real luck involved and you can really think about how it works. Also funny/stupid; Two weeks ago I had some people over and while I was talking I reseted the puzzle, but put the draw in the wrong way,...... Not a big issue, just had to fabric a small tool to re-open it. Well at least my visitors had a good laugh about it and of-course I did as well.
The Washington monument is also a nice puzzle, but to be honest I don't like it that much. I opened it very quickly, but not in the 'correct' way. I know I wasn't the only one. Still a very nice puzzle, but the Plugged Well is in a different league.
On another note when I received both together with the Telephone booth I also got a nice puzzle for free. The SEARious Burr 13 piece burr with secret lock!!
I even prefer this puzzle above the Washington monument.

My plugged well broke After the first time I re-assembled it. It was a cool puzzle, but part of it is fragile. I don't know if parts swelled up or what but even without the broken part, part of it won't close.

The Lotus is even better!!! I've to be honest I've a soft spot for the puzzles of Will.
Re: "A Plugged Well" by Mr. Puzzle
Thanks! Im really excited for this one. And im really curious because of these two puzzles. Lotus looks like a great puzzle, with more than a great price. In the lotus it seems to have 2 times more shiny metal than in the isis , at 50% of the price! Personally at first glance i thought its something very expensive , 250 USD or so. WRONG! its only ~ 115! A great price.
Im looking forward to recieve my oil well i hope it wont take me too fast to solve!

If you are looking for a heavy duty SD puzzle that won't break easily and won't break the bank, go for the First Box. Built like a tank!Bidle wrote:Chyron wrote:My plugged well broke After the first time I re-assembled it. It was a cool puzzle, but part of it is fragile.

Re: "A Plugged Well" by Mr. Puzzle
Well, the first box is kinda expensive i wont buy it if it doesnt have a great mechanism and mind blowing parts . I bought the revo's because of these criterias.
