Hey there,

Well, the search is over.

The One Ring has been discovered (and graded) so it looks like the dream of pulling the golden ticket in your store is done. How will this affect the price of Collector Boxes is the question now.

Are you going to be adjusting your pricing? Is everyone being punked and The One Ring is still at large? Let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Tom

The Lost City - Chapter 1: The Thief is an escape game type puzzle box. The challenge is to find your way inside the vault.

All puzzles can be solved using the clues contained on the box itself and the solutions are not random or to be solved with pure luck, but necessitate a players creative and logical mind.

Sounds cool.

Funded in under three hours with five days to go, this one looks unique. (link)
