The Black Merc V1 (Limited Edition) is a Special Project and was a Limited run of 20 only. The Black Merc is aimed at our loyal collector base of REVOMAZE enthusiasts. We had our original Black V1 made by our first engineers, who designed the maze for Chris Pitt only. However, he asked for 20 to be made that were sold to our early collectors and is still the hardest puzzle to find as we have honoured the fact we would not produce anymore.
 
We did have the original prototype run to sign off the design, which was sold as BK00-20. Along with Chris’s version and one in the engineer’s cabinet at their works, that is all that was produced.

Due to overwhelming demand, we did produce the maze in plastic under our original engineers. When we changed engineers, we then produced a new Black by our new engineers called 'Merc Engineering'. This was never produced in metal, but as enthusiasts enjoyed the design, we always had a thought to make it.

Our forum user 'Darctangent' contacted us, who wanted to commission the production to complete his collection that has all the puzzles including the original Black. After looking into the design, he contacted the users to see if they were interested. Within a noticeably short time, many were interested in reserving.
