Mr Puzzle - We know puzzles!

Current Category
Collectibles


puzzleroom.jpgBrian (alias Mr Puzzle) not only enjoys designing and making puzzles but he is a very active puzzle collector himself. 

Brian collects puzzles locally by scouring antique and collectible shops, markets and any toy store he can find.  He also collects from around the world, when he's on holiday, during his trips to the International Puzzle Party, from eBay...  anywhere he goes, puzzles are always on his mind.

To date Brian's collection is up around 2500 pieces, but he shows no sign of stopping yet.   He's even been know to collect puzzles he's already got! 

Hence, Mr Puzzle's Doubles....   Collectible puzzles. Old and New. Inexpensive to more highly priced items.  You could find just about anything in this section.  Including a bargain!  The puzzle is as it's shown in the photo. Sometimes used. Sometimes new.  Usually we have only one, sometimes two of the puzzles available.
