The Isis Adventure

If you are in need of some extra spending cash for the holidays or to purchase a Ramisis and/or join the 500 and have an Isis 1A or 1B just sitting around collecting dust then send me a PM.

ditto

I think you'll be hard pushed to find someone with a 1B to sell, if I remember right someone compiled a (short) list of those how have one...
Obviously there's a few more 1As about, you'll probably have more luck getting your hand on one of those. Again there's a list somewhere of those who have one (although I think one or two may have changed hands more recently).

If your serious about getting your hand on one then you may want to try finding the lists and PM those people on said lists as I don't think all the 1A and 1B owners are regulars here... sending a PM will send them an email notification (unless they have disabled that feature), whereas they might not otherwise read this thread

While I am serious about trying to get these I am not going to PM all of the current owners. I know that I wouldn't want everyone who may be interested in purchasing my 1C (which isn't for sale) bothering me with PMs asking if I would sell it to them. That's why I'm just going to leave this post here with the thought that perhaps one of the 13 1A owners or one of the 5 or 6 1B owners saw it and wanted to sell. Truthfully my hopes aren't very high that anyone would want to sell them. I know that I wouldn't want to sell any of them if I had them just like I don't intend to ever sell my 1C. But it doesn’t hurt to try

puzz will make you one if you ask nice ill bet!...it may cost as much as a limited addition but he may be willing...i want a 1c myself...let us know if he does!!

If we could ust ask for them to be made, surely that negates the point of having a limited edition?

Yes, I'm very sure that there won't be any more 1As made as that was really for the "Puzz Challenge". 12 were made plus 1 extra (possibly a prototype?). I'm not sure what the deal was with the 1Bs. My impression was that they were like the 1As, but not part of the "Puzz Challenge" (with the exception of Karen's 1B which seems to be more like a 1C). With that in mind, maybe Puzz wouldn't mind making a few more 1Bs if we ask. But I do hope that if he makes them, they are not like my unopened 1C

explain to me please, internally and externally, what is the difference between the Isis I, IA, IB, IC, Eagle?

i have the eagle. my understanding is that the only difference between the eagle and the isis (original) is the eagle is engraved on the bottom.

The Eagle and the standard Isis I are the same. The 1A, 1B, and 1C have some changes made to them to make them more difficult. The 1C is so difficult that only 2 out of 10 (or is it 11?) of them have been opened so far. More detailed descriptions of the internals of the 1A and 1B can be found in the 5% club forum. The 2 people who have opened their 1Cs have not given details on them (the rest of us with 1Cs don’t want to be spoiled).

Also, I got a response back from Puzz that there are no more 1Bs but they do have 4 of the Tutankhamun limited editions still available. I believe that they are the same internally as the standard Isis I and the Eagle Isis.

Correct

i guess your right hannah about the limited edition.....sorry... i was wrong

Isis 1's 1As 1Bs and 1Cs Are they really that similar how come I cant get my isis reular opened

the 1c is deemed almost unopenable...thats why i want one..theres no such thing as unopenable in my hands..i tried to challenge puzz to a bet..the cost of the puzzle ...anyway i could to get my hands on one..no luck....
maybe someday

This is a HUGE bump, but I'm still looking to buy either or both of these. So if you have one that you don't want anymore just let me know!

Ditto on the 1B and 1C. PM ME, after Stet though, he has dibs.
