New video demo + solve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xTkHIKfvPkNew pics:    I'm VERY pleased with the results. The puzzle is light, smooth, and has almost an "airy" feel to it due to the hollow WSF print material. Also as a result of it having no springs, and it's unique mechanism inspired by the Vmech, it is literally impossible to pop unless you want to break some parts. Even with one screw removed, the puzzle holds together, and is still a challenge to get apart (but not impossible). I will post pictures once I get the tiles in the mail, probably tomorrow or monday.

I'm going to be buying one of these next month, my Mum's banned me from buying puzzles for a month. It looks awesome though!

Amazing. I would buy one too, except, ironically enough, my mom's banned me from buying puzzles until the end of June (noooooo!!!!!!), so approximately a month! I've had my mom call puzzles "a waste of money" before, and this is an annoying time, because I have birthday money left over from the begnning of April. The bright side is that I might get a violin soon!

This looks great, I can't wait to get mine, but is that meant to be the Japanese colour scheme? It looks to me as if it is, the orange and red are switched. And if you do order one in tiles, do you have to get the colour scheme, or could you get a standard colour scheme?

I can do whatever color scheme is preferred, but my default is Japanese BOY. I made a mistake with that one apparently.

With such a simple puzzle(not to take away from your work, I thinks its great  )is it possible to change the color scheme by assembling it in a different way.

I took note of the color scheme the other day and found that one of the cubes I tiled was done "backwards". Just now I finished solving the same puzzle and now the two cubes have the same scheme. Anyways all 3 are now done so the first orders will ship out after this memorial day weekend.

Colors across from each other are always the same but the order can change

I bought a copy of this from shapeways... have to say I really like this puzzle. Turns great and feels good. A quick picture for you all..  A wee bit dirty and mainly just a quick try out to see if the stickers would look good.
