You're right Georges, it did have a distinctive odor, but that wa nothing a bit of gentle cleaning wouldn't get rid of. The Stern looked quite original to me!

I suspect he was keeping my boxes hoping I would forget about them. One very nice and more difficult (first solve two hours with some stickers having peeled off) Ghost Cube. A beautiful 'Mondrianic' 3x3x5, black and heavy just like I want them, waitng to be analysed before scrambling. A Star Puck that forces me to search for my Domino solution from 1983. Wait, there is a Helicopter Cube over there! Ah, that one was on my wish list for a long time. Another heavy puzzle that turns very good (compared to my X-Cube). And a couple of the 'Smoothest Turning Cube in the World' freshly sent from dear Pantazis.

I especially like the fact that they have stickered the 3x3x5 with the traditional blue opposite white pattern instead of the current standard yellow opposite white. Whenever I re-sticker a cube I use the traditional blue opposite white

Georges, lucky you, with the Helicopter cube! The Star Puck is nice too.

io wrote: I'm so relieved that they arrived safely! I was starting to wonder... I am really impressed with your two hour solve on the Ghost Cube. That puzzle is not a friendly ghost. And you remind me, I still need to solve my Star Puck! As I said, I was starting to wonder, too. Regarding the 2 hour solve, I must confess that after 1,5 hours I used the above picture to help me get it back. But it is easier for me to solve than to solve the Golden Cube, as I said before, because of the 3x3x3 mechanism. The most tricky part is the fact that in its solved state you have to make one partial move before reaching a 'normal start position'.

I received my ghost cube today and I must say it's an exquisite piece of art! The pieces are smooth and movement is smooth as well. I did have some bubbling of the stickers. This is to be expected for a newly cast puzzle and a second set of stickers were provided, so no complaints there! This puzzle also has a nice heavy weight to it which I enjoy. I haven't jumbled it up yet since I would like to dedicate enough time to enjoy its complexity and solve it. Thanks again Jason/Adam, I am glad I put an order through for this! Now to wait for a restock of the cubic 3x3x5... Shouldn't be too long now since you just completed your petaminx, right?

I just received my 3x3x5 and Ghost Cube today and just have to say that they are both absolutely wonderful. I am completely happy with both of them and can highly recommend them to any and all puzzle fans and collectors. I’m seriously considering ordering a second 3x3x5 when they become available again and of course will purchase any other future puzzles that you guys make and sell.

When is the Ghost Cube going to be made available again? Or has production stopped?

I must say congrats to you Adam on your ghost cube and to you and Jason for helping to make this available to all of us. I finally finished mine and it's a tricky beast of a puzzle! I kept messing up my orientation and messed up algorithms due to its tricky nature. I actually had to learn the Fridrich method to solve this since Petrus would have been a disaster...  I'm afraid to scramble it again... =P
