Great Hanayama puzzle, my 2nd favorite one! (1st is the Baroq)

I have a massive collection of Hanayama cast puzzles, and this one ranks #2 (thee Baroq is my #1). This puzzle WILL take time to figure out and IS pretty hard, but it is super fun to solve over and over. I would recommend this if you want a hard challenge, otherwise, I'd get the Baroq.
