Hi All,
We have reviewed the Black Pilot feedback and have taken on board what people have said, we thank you for your comments and suggestions. Exciting news! Our users will have the opportunity to design 3 puzzles in a User Design Competition in 2025. The cores will be made of aluminum, aimed towards our younger members while the Titanium is aimed at our dedicated users with an enhanced challenge.
We are planning the Introductory Set (3 Special Edition Puzzles) that has Sapphire (15/100), Emerald (25/100), and Titanium (35/100). This will be planned for the entries to be assessed from March 2025 and designs can be submitted from now. We will keep track of the number of entries on the website.
The Lite Mapping Template can be used for the designing with some helpful hints and tips that we'll cover in a live YouTube broadcast. The three most creative designs for each of the 3 mazes will be chosen and machined, then sent to our Admin/Moderators for scoring. Each will be labelled A, B, and C for each maze to keep them anonymous (9 in total) and once we have the 3 winners, we will put them into production.
The runners-up will get a set of their designs. We will put all the user's stories on the website and the 3 most sold will receive a special prize! (TBD)
Good news for collectors – we now have the Ultimate Set (Brass Maze Cores), featuring 14 puzzles, each with a Brass Maze Core. For people who have purchased other Lite's or sets, you can have your original orders credited to the Ultimate Set and a balance invoice sent. We will be sending them out in batches to minimise the import duty costs if the number of Ultimate Sets is low, we will make them Limited Editions.
People who have paid for other mazes or sets can have them credited from the Ultimate Price and a balance invoice sent. If the numbers of ultimate sets are low, we will make them Limited Edition.
We are planning to begin shipping the 4 Set (Limited Edition) in May 2025 and we will be emailing purchasers of the set if they would prefer the aluminium or brass cores. Further details will be included in the email in October this year.
We've got two batches of puzzles due to be sent before Christmas, with the Limited Edition Set and Intro SE Set shipping in early 2025. Once the competition is over, we'll be diving back into the VAULTMAZE Project. You can buy earlier to receive the Lite puzzles in time for the Holidays!
Based on the 2,000 component sets we're getting our engineers to make in parallel with us making the mazes, the machine will be working flat out over the next two months. There are two ways to go about purchasing the Ultimate Set (Brass Maze Cores). First is to purchase the Ultimate Set and we then refund your previous orders you wish to trade in, or second, please contact Rachel to get an invoice for the balance.
