I know I won't regret it and Yes to the SE version.

MPP5 will have some nice new items to look at!

Here's an interesting little saga between me and my 3-Card Burr, a design by George Miller:

Frabjous arrived today (and a set of Laker Cubes) and it took a good 2-3 hours to get together! The first shapes were easy to make but as it got more complete, weaving the individual pieces through to the right location was really tough! There was a lot of disassembly and reassembly but it was worth it in the end and the puzzle looks great, especially when the light hits it. 8-)

Highly recommended but I don't think I'll be taking it apart again any time soon! ;)

Funny, I found it easier the closer to complete it was.
