    Awesome price for this. I too was infected with the hanayama bug and have started a decent collection.

    For anyone looking for a storage solution I recommend these watch cases:

    https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07MX8292B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i…

    They are very good build quality for the money and the puzzles all fit in nicely (if you take out all the included cushions meant for watches). Some smaller puzzles you can fit 2 in 1 compartment. But most fit perfectly on their own, with the exception of the o'gear puzzle. That one I have to put in separated (solved).

      Good idea. Or a cheaper tea box if your budget is lower.

      • pennypincher98 on 17/11/2019 - 15:31

        Or a ziplock bag if your budget is even lower?

    Thanks OP ,Ordered one .It took me 38 minutes to take apart & put the Flag Level 1 puzzle back together again so I'll be working on this one for ages.

    I'm seeing this as $23.49 now.

    • Bunsen on 17/11/2019 - 09:31

      $6.88 for me at 9.30am Sunday..

      • downbythecreek on 17/11/2019 - 10:51

        $6.88 for me at 9:51am (Non DST) for me, Amazon has stock so I don't know why you have so many report for being expired. Maybe they don't have prime.

  • Nyclix on 17/11/2019 - 06:53

    Damn I would've grabbed one of these.

    • Bunsen on 17/11/2019 - 09:31

      They're still available, I just reordered as the price dropped further!

  • jebdra on 17/11/2019 - 07:43

    Thanks for this. Never heard of these before and I think I'll enjoy it.
    Prime is definately worth it.

  • bizarredeal on 17/11/2019 - 07:54

    Who ever thinks of these kinds of puzzles. Props to that guy…

  • Nyclix on 17/11/2019 - 07:55

    Sweet grabbed one.

  • Melb69 on 17/11/2019 - 08:02

    Great for Xmas day around the Christmas lunch table for adults and kids. Just picked up a 3 wire set from Woolworths for $8. No doubt they will get cheaper as we get closer to Xmas as long as there's any left.

    • ihbh on 17/11/2019 - 09:05

      3 wire set

      Do you have a link?

      • Melb69 on 17/11/2019 - 22:03

        Look up lucky lad metal puzzle on the Woolworths online site. There's also a wooden 4 piece set as well. Try your store in the gift section. Basic puzzles, but still a bit of fun.

        Mine has already been shipped otherwise I'd do the same.

      • Bunsen on 17/11/2019 - 09:29

        I just did the same also.. Ordered last nite prior to posting deal & luckily wasn't marked as 'shipped' yet..

      • BilboBargains on 17/11/2019 - 09:56

        Yeah same cancelled and reordered

  • dammit on 17/11/2019 - 08:33

    still not sure if this really is a bargain, it does look very sturdy I guess. Never heard of this before but have seen similar thin novelty style ones of these.

    Bought it anyway…lol

    • Shaun Prawn on 17/11/2019 - 10:47

      It's a bargain because they are normally more expensive ($15-$20). They are pretty well made, they don't feel cheap or toy like. Some are incredibly difficult to solve, and will take most people a fairly long time to solve (if ever). Some you can just brute force and accidentally solve but they are then usually hard to put back together if you didn't understand how it came apart. Others you will never solve by accident and you really need to study the puzzle and try to understand how it works.

      • bxpressiv on 17/11/2019 - 11:16

        I don't understand how one came apart because my kid did it. :(

        • Shaun Prawn on 17/11/2019 - 11:28

          Which one was it? What's the name of the puzzle?

          • bxpressiv on 17/11/2019 - 11:59
            +1

            @Shaun Prawn: Cylinder, but I haven't bothered looking for a video or guide, which I'm sure exists. Looking at it conceptually it's easy, but the order is obviously hard.

            • Shaun Prawn on 17/11/2019 - 12:42

              @bxpressiv: That's the first one that I got when it was posted on ozbargain. I got that one apart accidentally too. Think it took maybe 30 mins to get it apart but then it took me about 2-3 hours to get it back together. And then I had to do it another 2 more times before I fully understood how it worked. I really liked that puzzle. There are guide videos available but I refuse to watch them. Some puzzles I have given up on and then I come back to them another time and work them out. I'm currently doing the UFO one and it has had me stumped for a while now. I feel like I'm so close to getting it apart, but I'm missing something.

  • CarbonTwelve on 17/11/2019 - 10:00

    Seems it dropped in price overnight. It's now $6.88.

    • imnotarobot on 17/11/2019 - 10:34

      If I've ordered but not been charged yet, does it charge the new price? I wonder…

      • Bunsen on 17/11/2019 - 10:56

        Check ur Amazon invoice in 'Orders'..

      • UncleRico on 17/11/2019 - 16:40
        +1

        No it will not.

        Amazon US updates all prices in AUD, once or twice a day - an obvious reflection of exchange rates.

        The price you pay will be that which was quoted in AUD at the time of the purchase.

  • raybies on 17/11/2019 - 12:06

    I'm fairly sure ebay and amazon are tracking my purchases, and as soon as I buy something they reduce the price by 50%.

  • Untameable on 17/11/2019 - 12:21

    Expired while I was checking out. Price is now back to normal.

  • drezy on 17/11/2019 - 12:28

    Seems to be working again. Just purchased 1 at $6.20.

    • Captain Hindsight on 17/11/2019 - 14:29

        • misterchan on 18/11/2019 - 03:22

          @capslock you might be right…just went back to buy another one and found the price has gone down again and now at $5.62…@Bunsen might need to update the post again…

  • cyrax83 on 17/11/2019 - 15:39

    I'm not getting free delivery with prime? + $9.79 delivery

    Edit: nevermind had issues with my Prime. Working now.

  • roastchook on 17/11/2019 - 16:30

    I went through a bit of a phase and have about 15 hanayammas. That bolt one drove me crazy. Big tip…..look after them, they rust!

  • drezy on 17/11/2019 - 17:49

    Thanks! Good KK gift

  • 1Kenobi on 17/11/2019 - 18:10

    What’s a good starter level one ?

    • Bunsen on 17/11/2019 - 18:27
      +1

      Yes.. I got the 'Flag' Level 1 puzzle from the deal linked above in description..

      Only took about 15mins to solve though, apart then back together, although YMMV..

      I'd suggest getting a few easier 1's to compliment this puzzle, although for ~$6 u cant really go wrong, normal price is ~$15-$20 for this brand of puzzle..

      • 1Kenobi on 17/11/2019 - 20:25

        Appreciated

    • UncleRico on 17/11/2019 - 19:54

      Of the Level 1's, I've got Diamond, ABC, Flag, Shark, Loop and Key. The last two are also available as Disney versions and are the one's I've got since they're all technically (arguably) for my little puzzle princess rather than myself…

      If you don't mind the Disney version, the last two are sold as a pack for $34 plus postage from https://www.mrpuzzle.com.au/disney-puzzles.html and are a great starter if you've got kids. There's actually three slightly different versions of the key - two Hanayama's and one Hanayama Disney, with two rated at Level 2 due to an ever so marginally more complex end piece and one at Level One. I've got the Disney version which is technically a level 2, but it is probably the most appreciated of all of the introductory one's I have for guests to tinker with on our coffee table, and I'd suspect any of the three versions would be equally so. Add them to you watch list in Amazon and grab whichever one dips under $15 first;

      https://www.amazon.com.au/Disney-Mickey-Minnie-Brain-Teaser/…

      About the only level 1 that doesn't tend to review well, is the Hook, which many complain can be forced or bent. You won't go far wrong with the others listed above - or the remaining two from the Level 1 collection; Bike and Trout (aka SeaBream).

      • 1Kenobi on 17/11/2019 - 20:25

        Many thanks

  • Tony76 on 18/11/2019 - 09:12

    I'm throwing out a challenge to you Ozbargainers - solve Hanayama Hourglass without cheating.

    It was my first Hanayama, and after 3 weeks of frustration I caved and used the provided solution, only to spend another 3 hours trying to follow the instructions.

    It's an insanely difficult puzzle to solve, and yet looks so simple.

    Have fun!

    P.s - I'm kicking myself for not buying this one, I waited too long and missed out.

  • Rookie1 on 26/11/2019 - 21:24
