Playground - designed by Oskar, made by George Miller
Playground, design by Oskar in 1998, made by George Miller in 2004.

This is a large puzzle; 7" tall, but weighs only 8.6 oz. Buyer to pay actual shipping charges. Paypal payment, add 4% for fees.

Rubik's Bricks, Rubik's Clock, Rubik's Triamid
Rubik's Bricks, Rubik's Clock, Rubik's Triamid, all with original packaging. The Clock box is a bit crunched on one corner, with tape on the end-flaps, while the Triamid box shows medium wear, and the blister pack for the Bricks has been pulled off the cardboard backing. Instruction sheets are included with Clock and Bricks, and I don't think Triamid came with one (it's pretty simple; the instructions are on the back of the box). Total weight is 1 lb, 2 oz.

Snakes in a Plane
This was Dave Rossetti's IPP28 exchange gift, in Prague, 2008. His accompanying sheet says, "Snakes in a Plane is based on the Rush Hour concept by Nob Yoshigahara. By using spiral pieces, Oskar made cheating impossible. Aubrey developed a special challenge that takes as many moves to solve as to reset... Production was done as a combination of 3D-printing and laser-cutting." He describes this as a Sliding Piece Puzzle.

base is 1/8" thick, tray edge is 1/8", thick and pieces are 1/8" thick)
Looks like the

Described on page 151 of

who notes that are a number of ways to solve it.
The designer has made the pieces sufficiently tight so that solution is
possible but not via Figure 4 shown in the Dustin p...
