Masonjones" I apologize that I don't have more information, since I am away from the stuff that I bought and I can't look at the packaging. I was in Toy Works in W. Springfield, MA, and was very surprised to find a series of puzzles I believe are newly available in the US after a long hiatus. The puzzles are Pyraminx, Skewb, and Meffert's Ball (with the four colored rings arranged on a spherical Skewb device. I think only the Skewb was called by its real name. All were in the same basic packaging, looked pretty authentic, and I think they all had Meffert patent/copyright info on them (at least the ball did). And they were all marked down from $10 to $6. Not bad at all. There must be more out there, but my nearest KayBee didn't have anything. I'm not sure if Toy Works is a big chain or not. It seems to be from the stuff they carry and the size of the store. Happy hunting. Mike Masonjones
