1982 vintage Zigzaw Rubiks puzzle

[CubingCockney]

Heyy guys, I dont really know much about this puzzle so please forgive me. The other day I saw this puzzle in a charity shop and decided to buy, it was released in 1982 and consists of 131 pieces.

Basically this puzzle is a pain in the backside to complete and im now thinking of selling it.

Please let me know if you have one of these, how rare they are, how much the are worth etc.

Thanks, ~Cubingcockney~

It's like Q*bert made into a jigsaw puzzle.

I had considered a Rubik's Q*bert avatar instead of my current one, but haven't felt like making the image.

This is the box, obviously i cant get a picture of the solved puzzle because it's so damn hard.

Just have a look at Jaap's site.

Obviously start with the border - thats 42 of the pieces done. There are roughly 10 other inner pieces that look different, try to place them.

You have some of the puzzle solved on the box - do that bit. So, of the 131 pieces, you really only have to use your loaf for about 60 pieces.

Don't sell it - really, a couple of hours is all you need.

I got my one off ebay for £1 - you can probably expect a bit more than that though.

Yeah border and inner are fine for me, and ive spent more than a few hours doing it. Yeah i won't sell, i had heard they were worth like £40 but obviously not
