Once I've gotten to your name on the list, I'll send you a invoice via PayPal for payment. I'll only send the invoice AFTER I've finished making your puzzles, that way once payment is received I can send it immediately. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Once I've received your reservation your name will go on a list that is available for you to check the status of your puzzle, and where you are in line. That list is located at the link below.

I got mine too earlier this week. Yeah, it's a lot more stable than my original black octahedron.

The Octahedrons are awesome! The movement is really smooth. Aside from some occasional catching, they are flawless. Thanks again for your hard work, the puzzles turned out really well. I'll be sure to make some videos once I'm sub-1!

Glad to see your thumb is healed now Scott.

So when is the White Gigaminx and Professor Trajber's Octahedron coming? Weren't you making a Tutt's Icosaminx as well?

Any estimates on how long orders will take to fill?

Also, how is stability (any popping)? Would you be willing to make a quick video demonstration?

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

Put me down for one. I want to see a black one first to see which I would prefer. Also what are the stickers? Aswell as what watermelon asked for!

It was a tough decision, but the white sets it aside from its original counterpart.

If Scoot began to sell nice puzzle like this he's gonna make a lot of $$$$ ! If he sells master, I'll buy it for sure ! Do you think it's 3D printed or hand-made ??? anyway the are awesome! I hope you'll bring puzzles to use Scott !

---a- -o--- · **Posted:** Wed Nov 07, 2007 9:49 pm

You told me that your gigaminx may be at competitions soon. Based on that, is there any way that any of these will ever be brought to and sold at competitions? Sorry, it's just that I have more cash than paypal. If not, hopefully someone else will bring one one day and I will get to turn it!

Scott Bedard · **Posted:** Wed Nov 07, 2007 10:35 pm

Time to answer questions, lol.

I do not have a timeline or estimate for these puzzles, I make them when I have spare time.

The core is a diy 3x3 core which is a light yellow, and not noticeable at all from the outside.

These pieces are not 3D printed, I used an original magic octahedron as masters. Aside from the core, it's a 100% exact replica.

Yes, I have masters for a Tutt's Icosaminx that I aquired in a trade, but I have not created it yet.

My white gigaminx needs about 20 more cubies to be finished, but I also need to make new molds since the old ones died on me. Hopefully I'll get around to that soon.

Most likely I will never sell a gigaminx... Mainly because it's not my puzzle to sell, talk to Tyler about it. Also they take FOREVER to make because there are so many damn cubies in it.

Btw Reeeech, your octahedron is finished. Georges, I'm going to need alittle time to get yours done because I ran out of stickers on Reeeech's.

Sorry about that,

kastellorizo · **Posted:** Thu Nov 08, 2007 9:26 pm

I must say, I am very impressed by this puzzle's quality. It has smooth movement and flawless looks.

A while ago, Scott was looking for an octahedron. So then he probably thought, "why buy one, I could make one by myself!".

And he *did*!!!

Oh, Scott, I missed this line when reading the thread for the first time.
Ah, I'm upset like a small child and I can't wait. This is absolutely fantastic what you are doing for us. THANKS!

Noah · **Posted:** Mon Nov 12, 2007 11:37 am

I'm just as anxious as Georges. I'm next!

Thank god I check the forum multiple times a day, other wise I would have been much further down the list.

Regardless, I have a request for who ever orders both a Black and White Octahedron. Could you please compare the.... well I want to say quality, but that's not what I mean. Just the over all feel for the puzzle, for example, of the 3 DIY's (Black, White, Transparent) I've gotten, all three had a different feel to them, and I was wondering if it would be the same case with hand molded puzzles.

Please don't take that as a shot to Scott's building abilities. I have seen his work, and it is always fantastic, and I'm eager to own my first twisty puzzle made by Scott (I already love the Mini Master Magic).

Mr.Twisty · **Posted:** Mon Nov 12, 2007 11:52 am

Scott, Any idea of how long it is going to take you to make 25+ of these puzzles? How many do you think you can make in a week? Just curious as to how long it will be before you get to mine. I think I am #20 on the list :cry:

Noah · **Posted:** Mon Nov 12, 2007 12:16 pm

I'm sure Scott already has this somewhere, but for the rest of us, if you want to see where you line up on the list...

The number is what number Octahedron it is. The letter represents Black or White.

Assuming the definition for the slang word I found through google is what you mean, then thank you very much Georges. It means a lot coming from you.

And seeing as I'm replying to your 999th post, congrats on reaching 6x6x6 (aka 1000+ posts.

Lol, I'm working guys. Im surprised there was so much interest in this. I will try my best to get to everyone, and I think I will. I have recently created more molds. I have two identical molds for each cubie. With this said I can make a complete octahedron in about an hour. This weekend I hope to get a good chunk of that list made. Reeeech, your's should be in the mail tomarrow. I couldn't go today because of the holiday.
