What if pentarasus is just having productions issues like another notable metal puzzle company who tried to introduce a new puzzle and ran into (very, very) extensive delays in production. Also not much communication there. Still a great company shooting out great products. Still not that one.......
But point is we don't know and it's not fair to make accusations without some proof.
JMHO
Puzz himself said that he doesn’t have the money to make the 5th puzzle due to equipment costs. That’s why he’s trying to sell ‘shares’ in the company to raise the approximately $5000 - $10,000 needed. I understand maybe he’s doing these newer puzzles to help raise money for the tooling for the 5th puzzle, but it doesn’t feel right. Even creating new puzzles involves tooling and anodizing costs, so where is that money coming from? And incurring those costs to produce 10 puzzles a run isn’t a good business model.
He even outright refused to refund anyone’s money, saying that production is ‘ongoing’, so I’m anticipating the puzzle sometime not soon.
All being said, I hope I’m wrong.
