Puzzle V

[Vlancii]

According to the website it will "hopefully" be available this year.

There is a post on Facebook saying that the design is finalised and if we all sign up to the new game then that will help fund production.

TBH I'm getting a bit bored of waiting now and have kind of resigned myself to the fact that it may never happen (been waiting since Oct 2017, so it better take me a few years to open it)

"hopefully" available this year has been the trademark response for well over 2 years. A while back he said that he needs to raise money for the tooling to create the puzzles. He tried to sell 'shares' of his company to raise money, and now has the 'funds' to create a new puzzle and a new 'hover display'.

Until he shows pictures of more than one puzzle (which is quite possibly just the crude external markup that has been on the site for years for presale), I highly doubt any production has started.

I've been looking to sell a couple of my unopened puzzles as I've had it. He's basically killed his brand, and any desire to purchase new puzzles (except for the Penta which I've already paid for). People in other puzzle groups are saying to steer clear of this brand of puzzles.

It's halfway through 2021 so I wonder if there has been any progress towards Pentarasus delivery

The website now claims that the Pentarasus will be released in 2022...

2017
2018
2019
2020
2021
...

Sure, 2022 must be it.

I'm surprised anyone buys his stuff anymore. Like I said, other puzzle groups are telling new puzzlers to steer clear
of this charlatan and his brand.

2022 is here, Hopefully something good will happen this year

There is not much of 2022 left. Any sign of a Pentarasus by Christmas???

Anyone believing in fairytales????
I just once believed a guy living in Scotland who promised to build me a Windturbine in Germany. After a lot of fairytales and promises I sued him. Well long story short. My money gone and mr..... too! he started a new company and so on..
Don´t think Andrew and his spouse are like that, but your money is gone!

Oh well, nothing from Santa this year . Come on PUZZ, what is the likelyhood of anything by next Christmas??

Hello everyone,

That's it, the adventure is over?

Andrew won't be giving out any more information because he can't raise the funds needed to produce the pentarasus? and above all to pay himself

I need to share this end of experience with you.

I don't know if you're in the same situation as me, but I've been waiting for this puzzle since 2017, when I put money down to reserve it. I opened the other 4 with love.

I don't believe that andrew is a robber or that he would give up because he has built the prototype of the last one.

Can anyone contact Andrew ?

In any case, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this post and I hope we can bring this adventure to a successful conclusion.
Good day to you all.

Alex

I occasionally check the store’s website for any updates on the fifth puzzle. Unfortunately, I was among the early pre-order customers—placing my order roughly eight years ago when they first became available. Over the years, I’ve reached out to Andrew a few times, offering to connect him with U.S.-based manufacturers I’ve successfully worked with on producing small-run, intricate parts. Regrettably, communication has been minimal.

I’m posting here now on the off chance that a former moderator or long-time collector might have new information. Is there any indication that the final puzzle will still be released, or has it effectively been abandoned?
