What other puzzles do you recommend?

[sheepish]

I got my DAEL O RINGS yesterday thank you Louis
I got the yellow and orange and have completed both all though they haven't taken long they are great little puzzles. Does any one no when the other colurs will be for sale looking forward to Crazy Red and Terrible Black

Yeh, I picked up mine from home last weekend too. Cheers Louis for the super service!

I've had a quick go on them but haven't had time to sit down and actually solve them yet

Glad to hear/read you have received the DaelORing puzzles. Only Texas is still waiting now.

One of the first shops to sell new DaelORing puzzles is http://www.pienterepuzzels.nl. If you need translations just let me know. I actually bought the puzzles there, they have a short connection to the producers. Watch their website for updates (or wait for me to post here ). For what it's worth, there were 4 months between yellow and orange.

That webshop is run from home by a very nice man who lives less than a kilometer away from me (which I found out only a few weeks ago )
They will ship to the UK too (next time ).
They also sell Svetnashki puzzles !
And several Eureka (=Hanayama?) puzzles for remarkably low prices.
Tomorrow is our next EPP, no shipping costs for me this time .

Wow! Another puzzle shop with a great collection of stuff (!Thanks Louis )

...And several Eureka (=Hanayama?) puzzles for remarkably low prices...

Eureka do a whole range of puzzles including copies of the Hanayamas... note they're generally listed as "Cast <name>" rather than "Hanayama <name>". They're okay, but in general (with some exceptions) aren't as good as the true Hanayamas in my opinion.

puzzlemaster sell Hanayamas (link) and list them as "Cast <name>" but you'll see on the product pages that the manufacturer is Hanayama.

... incase anyone was interested

Still waiting, but customs is always slow. Still can't wait to give it a go. I will keep you posted on my postman.

During a small hiatus with the silver in January I bought a selection of puzzles from Puzzleguru in the UK (great service by the way) and have gotten rather addicted to the metal disentanglement puzzles.

I keep getting very enticing notifications of specials from puzzlemaster but when I look further into buying a collection or 2 it ends up that their postage to the UK is hugely expensive and so I never end up hitting the buy button!!


However having had a bad night on-call and feeling very weak I have just placed an order from another Canadian company (Livewire puzzles) for a collection of 37 (YES 37!!! ) wire disentanglement puzzles.
They look terrific! The postage is much more reasonable for the collections. Unfortunately surface mail may take quite some time!!!

I would love to get a collection of the Tucker Jones Tavern puzzles http://www.tavernpuzzle.com/ but the US resellers also have huge postage costs and I can't find them in the UK. One shop has a couple of the simpler ones only.
If anyone knows of a UK/European reseller then please let me know.

I understand why your bought the wire puzzles from Livewire, they have an interesting selection and having recently used their services I too can recomend their service and puzzles.

If you like wire puzzles Tucker Jones are the dogs bits, I love the chunky feel of them and there are quite a few to collect including some unique designs to Tucker Jones and some re-interpreted wire classics. Like yourself I spent some time trying to find a source in the UK. With the intention of bulk buying all of the available puzzles at the time (several years ago). I never found a source and contacted Tucker Jones direct and they sent me this reply;

Thank you for contacting us.
Although we do not ship consumer orders outside of the US, we do have options for you. In the UK, you can find a full line of Tavern Puzzles at the Amazing Hedge Puzzle. They do not have an online buying site, but if you contact them, they may be able to fill an order for you.
Here is a link to their contact information:

We also have an online reseller in the US who ships internationally. They are:
www.SeriousPuzzles.com
Thank you once again for your interest in Tavern Puzzles. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I hope this helps you (it didn't help me), it is very frustrating!

Thanks very much for that - I looked at seriouspuzzles.com and their postage costs also really racked up quickly.
I will have to give the Amazing hedge puzzle people a call. Unfortunately their website is useless!

I will need to leave it a while - 37 wire puzzles don't come cheap!!!

If anyone else has any suggestions for further purchases like this please let me know.

wow Adam, you can't just leave us hanging with no other info!

What is it? Where from? How much? How did you find it?
I think it is going to be weeks before my wire puzzles arrive! Desperation is setting in - currently no puzzles to play with!
