Holiday packages

DLitwin · **Posted:** Fri Dec 11, 2009 6:11 pm

Many of us will be receiving puzzles for the holidays. Since most won't be rare (post in this thread for rare items), I wanted to create a separate thread for people just happy to share what they are opening.

I'll start as I had a nice visit to the post office yesterday morning. Thanks to Milan for a set of Globall puzzles! (and East Sheen for some mini 2x2x2s for building).

I'm waiting for my first cube4you package. I'll post what I get for chanukah and christmas (as I celebrate both) when Christmas is over...

Hugo Mak · **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2009 5:10 am

I'll get a flowerminx, a pyraminx crystal (new version), a triple mini 2x2, a FTO, a domino, a stamp from Hungary (with Rubik's Cube on it) and a keychain pyraminx.

Retr0 · **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2009 5:49 am

I'll be getting

-Flowerminx
-Quad mini 2x2
-Rainbow Cube
-Edges only void cube
-Fisher cube
-Jings Pyraminx
-Alexander's star
-Gigaminx
-Bedlam cube (s)
-Floppy cube
-Some ball puzzle. Don't know the name (Will add museum link)
-PVC megaminx

Those are all of my presents. My parents have to check with me to see if they're correct and fully working.

Hugo Mak · **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2009 5:56 am

Wow! Where are you getting your alexander's star?

I always wanted one! :oops:

Retr0 · **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2009 6:06 am

I got mine from Georges Helm's shop. He doesn't have any more in stock though. eBay's your best bet.

I'm so annoyed because I found an Alexander's star and an Orb (two of my most wanted puzzles) both boxed but the seller wouldn't ship to UK. :cry:

I've already received my Meffert's Christmas presents (a set of Fisher Cubes) and am hoping that I receive my Qubami in time.

I'm also buying a 3x3x2 that might coincidentally arrive near to Christmas.

Hugo Mak · **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2009 7:17 am

Oh

You found that auction with boxed alexander's star, orb and world, and in the discription you can see some questions about shipping and the one asking for Hong Kong shipping price is mine

You could save up and wait for a new puzzle to come out, or just plain and simply give it to me.

Aleksey · **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2009 11:57 am

Well, I've treated myself with an orange Dino Star already. And I'll be getting a white one too.
This puzzle has been missing from my collection for too long, and now I am going to have two of them.
Anyone care to offer me other colors (mint condition)? 8-)

theVDude · **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2009 8:14 pm

No puzzle for me until my birthday. Which is January 15th. Which isn't too late after the holidays.

I'm getting a jing's pyraminx and a couple of 3x3x4's for sure.

elijah · **Joined:** Sat Mar 29, 2008 12:55 am **Location:** WA, USA

I have recieved a globall puzzle and a globall flower.
The person I traded with should be a very happy person in a few days, since I believe he got a very good deal on his behalf.

Also, I plan on buying a kilominx and a new pyraminx crystal, along with possibly a Jing's pyraminx in the upcoming weeks.
Maybe soon there will be a holiday gift for the forum from me as well. :wink:

katsmom · **Posted:** Tue Dec 15, 2009 4:33 am

I think this is what you are looking for Dave. 2 sets of pictures of "Holiday presents"

The first is an early Christmas present from Uwe. I had to go to Shenzhen to get them, but am very pleased with the gift. (3 of the Jing's pyraminx's were purchased by me, and the other he gave me to round out the set)

I always hate workplace gift exchanges because I always end up with something utterly useless like towels or makeup that causes allergic reactions. This year my Secret Santa must have put some thought into my gift. And I still don't know who it is!

I know I have a few toys under the tree from my husband and daughter. Can't wait to open them up and see what they are!

theVDude · **Posted:** Tue Dec 15, 2009 8:43 am

That tetris cube is the worst present ever. Once you open it and spill the pieces out, don't expect to like it anymore.

That being said, I found ONE of the solutions and memorized it, so I'll always be able to get it back into the box.

joey · **Joined:** Thu Nov 23, 2006 6:02 pm

I bought myself
3x3 type A 5
4x4 Mini QJ (mine is getting too loose now, and I may keep this one for competition use only)
3x3 Ghosthand
3x3 Mini Type A (45mm)

I just happened to buy them around the holiday time, not really just cos it was the holidays

DLitwin · **Posted:** Wed Dec 16, 2009 12:10 am

A *big* package from Hong Kong!

My collection of Meffert's puzzles was getting a bit light with all the new puzzles he has been producing, and this was a bit of catch up on my part. I expect another (more Flowerminxes!), but it seems that shipped separately.

I know the feeling. I was supposed to get my V-cube set for my birthday in June. My mother said it was too much of a present so she left it for a while. I got each cube at seperate times, and the last, my V6 I got it just 1 and a half weeks ago

Hope you dont have to wait that long!

Down here in the southern hemisphere it IS summer, so you could say that and be correct. Sort of.. :roll:
