Well I'm a bit excited.

I now have a new Koala to look after, also a copy of Six of One and a couple of other puzzles I added to the order

Only snag is I have to wait until I get home after work later to play with them.

Will post pics and first impressions later....

Ok, first impressions on the Mr Puzzle 20th Anniversary Puzzles:

Six of One Half a Dozen of the Other:
Its quite a big lump for what appears to be a six piece burr, rich dark wood with the signature Mr Puzzle routing on the ends. I have played with it a little but have yet to get the first piece out. Its actually more complicated than I expected it to be and a little daunting when you get into it. Apparently its fully solvable without a computer... Ill let you know about that!

Katie Koala:
She is a beauty, lovely finish and a very solid feel (in fact I was surprised at the weight). Made a start last night and straight away found one of Mr Puzzles classic tools, a pokey rod. Pretty soon I had a few tools and felt I was making good progress. I cant really say much as it would constitute a spoiler but I will say that so far she is a tough cookie. I would say so far she is trickier than the Opening Bats first 2 thirds (mainly because its difficult to know what you are trying to do!)

Really happy with both so far, cant wait to get back to cracking them later

Sounds great, thx for the update and leaving out any spoilers.
Only thing missing is photo's.

How is Katie Koala coming along? Defeated yet?

She is not defeated yet (though I feel I am at the final stage). I have not had a chance to play with her for a couple of weeks, maybe later this week though....
