Dino Star, Super Rare Puzzle (White color - from Pantazis' Puzzle Collection)

An extremely rare puzzle made in Hungary in the early 80s. It has a very interesting mechanism, and its mathematics are similar to the Rubik's Dino Cube.

how many colours are there in total on the puzzle??

[kastellorizo]

@42KG13 six colors in the internal arcs, plus the white at the outside. :-)

you know instead of spending 500$ on one of these, you can make it by extending the centers on a 14-color rainbow cube to pointed, and shaving down the normal pieces to that, because the mechanism is the 14 color rainbow cube? bam. 5 minute mod turned into a 500$ puzzle. :D

@RedRoost80 you are missing a vital point here. This puzzle has a very high collector's value (which may or not be translated to money), something which will never be reached by a custom made dino star. Just have a look at so many custom made Dino Cubes. None of them was sold for more than $90, yet one of the original ones had once fetched more than $2000 on ebay! ;-)

i thought this was some type of origami though. COOL.

@kastellorizo I do agree though, the vintage puzzles are better :D

@kastellorizo indeed they have reached that high! but see? because they are so rare, and its custom made, they will not reach that high, but they will not cost that much to make profit off either!
