Do you know how much Aleh's Brilics sold for?
Mefferts Megaminx Pre-order

If Mefferts Megaminx is built like any of his other puzzles it will be of great design. My satisfaction with his other puzzles has made my decision to pre-order easy.
In my opinion the Chinese Megaminx knock-off can't compete for quality:
- It can't be tightened
- It's notches inhibit speed solving
- The tiles fall out
- It pops easily
The cheap version is only slightly cheaper if you take the shipping cost into consideration from China.
A puzzle under US$60 is an acceptable price for me as I get a lot more entertainment out of them than I would with some game for a PC or Gaming Console.

Aleh's Brillic sold for over a $1000 because there was a limited number of them. There were only like 15 produced. The price progressively went down, after the first couple. I was hesitant about getting the crystal, mainly because of the price, but now that I know they're probably never going to be produced again... I'm definitely getting one just to have.
That's true. However, how long do you think it will take for 2000 of them to sell?

Should I be tempted to buy the skewb and ultimate skewb now, or will they come back in stock (ultimate) after christmas as well?

I have another question about the megaminx. A while back, Arnaud posted this in another thread:
Does anyone know whether or not these adjustments are going to be made on these new megaminxes?

Well now, I am a happy camper. Already ordered my minx. I have a few of the cheap ones, and to be honest anything would be of better quality. I have been trying to a Mefferts minx a while now. Finally.
I have ordered a bit from Mefferts and can not complain at all about anything. Quality-wise everything is top quality and shipping can't be beat. I would love to have all of the puzzles on the site, maybe one day.
Now all I have to do is learn to solve the minx lol.

Wait, so, if I order a voucher, am I guaranteed one? If so, when would I get it?

Yup, if you pay for a voucher, you will get a puzzle. I'm not sure when he's going to start producing them, but I would imagine by mid January he should be making them.

I thought he was already making them, but he hadn't recieved them yet from the factory becasue not all were produced.

But the voucher says that it expiries Christmas day? Does that just mean that he's not going to sell the vouchers any more or will the actual voucher expire?

The voucher's wont be sold after the 25th. Like I posted before, the e-mail to Tony Fischer explains it all.

I just went to order a Pyraminx Crystal, and when I clicked on CHECKOUT, I get this error:

Anyone else encounter this?

Ooooh, now you have ruined it for everyone. Please edit your post so it becomes something like "why oh why did you have to put that pop in it????"
And I did it because I think it was very funny!
More videos of that trip will be uploaded today and tomorrow, but I will spent the afternoon with my dog and the weekly competition first.

Ah, this is gonna bug me so I must correct your spelling. You fly on a plane, or in the desert there is a wide open plain. Sorry for the English lesson, but better you know for the future, right??!!

Arnaud, the spelling of "plain" is incorrect. It should be plane. Just saying it to be a pain...
