Dragster
$349.99 Kevin Sadler wrote about Dragster:Another hidden piece burr with a motor vehicle theme from Stephan Baumegger, following on from the stunning Dozer from earlier this year. This puzzle looks gorgeous made from Jatoba, American Walnut, Maple and Wenge. It has a very unusual shape and little glimpses of the Dragster inside can be seen if you peek between the burr sticks. I actually own an original copy of this bought from Stephan back in 2015 and have never managed to solve it! I was quite a lot better at burrs back then which gives a hint at the difficulty of this puzzle. It may be that I can solve it this time but with my deadline to post reviews by this weekend, I’ve not had time to try yet. Puzzlewillbeplayed tells me that this burr has a disassemble level of 28.2.3.4.5.2.2.2.3 so you can be certain that this will be a fantastic challenge ending with the removal of a wonderful little car hidden inside. If burrs are of interest to you as a puzzler and especially the burr zoo genre with hidden pieces then this will make a wonderful addition to your collection and a serious challenge for you hopefully you manage it in less than 6 years!
