The Sum of all your Particles
The premise sounds simple enough: take the wooden particle apart and then try to rebuild it without sneaking a peek at the solution. But watch out, recognizing spatial relationships and spotting the solution is about as easy as seeing an atom, particle, cell or molecule with the naked eye! Each measuring six inches in diameter, these extra-large, science-inspired brainteasers for older kids or grown-ups will put your gray matter to good use. Each puzzle has a different concept and difficulty level. Once you've completed the Atom, the Molecule poses the next challenge, and then the Particle will stump you. Up for the ultimate challenge? You can tackle the Cell. And you thought passing chemistry was tough! Made in China.

While you don't need a microscope to examine these molecules, you will need to consider the science of assembly. Would one of these brainteasers make a great gift for a science fan or puzzle lover you know?
Casey

would be much better if sold as a group, $20 each is too much
Jennifer

I agree with Casey.
Amanda
Vote: Thumbs down!
Very cool item, but $20 for just one is a bit much. Maybe 2 for $20?
Lea
Vote: Thumbs down!
I have seen these kinds sold at store way cheaper. $20 for one piece is too much. If you want to sell this product, you will have to sell all four for $20
Brandi

I think the size of these puzzles is not obvious. Each puzzle has a 6" diameter (just a little smaller than a soccer ball).

I initially was going to vote thumbs up but after seeing the price changed my vote. This might be fun to give a science teacher or science wonk but $20 each seems too high.
Dana
Vote: Thumbs up!
At this price, I would buy one. If the price were lower, I'd buy several. If the price were a bit lower and they were a bit smaller, I'd buy a bunch of them.

I like them but not for this price
connie
Vote: Thumbs up!
I agree with Rona! Pricey! Great size-agree with Jane, but I would pay $20 for two or more-if qulity is very good and they would last!!!
mereselle
It is actually a great price considering its size. If the size was more obvious, I believe more people would agree.

I agrE with Casey. These would make a perfect gift for my little brother but too.pricey if each are $20

These don't fit in my age-group of friends, but they are very clever and the price is great, too.

Being sold as a set would make them more attractive

My sister and brother in law spend lots of time with puzzles like this. I would buy a couple of them.

Great gifts to give a family - fun for all ages and everyone can get a try.

I like these and might pay $20 for 2 of them, but not just for 1.

20 bucks for one is way too much, 20 for 2 is a lot better

My father-in-law LOVES these puzzles. I am always hunting some out. I think these are fine given their size. Maybe offer a multiples discount.
sharon
Vote: Thumbs up!
I can see this purchased with multiple gifts in mind. Party favors, stocking or basket stuffers, fun little something to give to someone in the office.
sharon
Vote: Thumbs up!
I can see this being purchased and divided into four small gifts for stocking or basket stuffers, grab bags, little something for someone at the office, party favors, etc.
Kathleen
Vote: Thumbs up!
Love the concept! Would also be fun to casually display on a side/coffee table.
Rita
Vote: Thumbs down!
$20 for 2 would be better pricing; make it in the USA; small parts are dangerous with any small children around; looks like small parts may easily be lost/misplaced.
Valerie
Vote: Thumbs down!
I'm not keen on painted products from China. Concerned about lead content even though product is for adults/older children. Also not a fan of products from China.
Meg
Vote: Thumbs up!
Would totally by this for my Chemist friends but it would be nice if more than one came in a pack. $20 each is a bit much.
Mallory
Vote: Thumbs up!
I agree 2 for $20 would be better. It is a very neat idea for a science lover or someone who likes puzzles even.
R
Vote: Thumbs up!
cool, but way to spendy.

I like the items, but isn't there enough junk imported from China here already? Buy North American!

I agree that I wish it was made in the US

looks like fun
Britney

I like the idea, but it's too pricey - maybe 2 for $20
Lee

Great idea, pretty good price and definitely one for the rubiks cube fans of old as well as brain teaser for the more up to date.
Terri
Vote: Thumbs up!
Every summer I take a puzzle of some kind when we have our week at the shore. You know, something to amuse teenagers and young adults just in case it rains. This would be perfect - I'd probably buy more than one.

I suppose if someone is in my house with nothing to do maybe... But that never happens.

You should sell them as a set. $20 each is too much.

I love these, but the price should include all of them- looks like they're mass produced.

A tiny bit pricey - maybe $15.00 each?

imaginative wood puzzles; $20 each sounds right
