I often see this on ebay and wonder if it’s worth buying, but I’m not sure how it differs from other sets. It looks very odd in the pictures.
Thanks.

Nice idea, thanks. Perhaps next season though.

Can’t you request that Kahootz send you a set to review? Your reviews are very positive so I don’t see them refusing.

Are you going to leave it wrapped up until Christmas? 😉

It’s finally available. I just found it on eBay and it is being sold on Amazon–Spirograph Diecast Collector’s Playset. Only $40. I’m getting one. 🙂

Yes!! Want!! Not available until December, however. It looks like it will be sturdier than the new plastic gears. I assume it will have more weight to it, and I’m looking forward to feeling the difference.

Good point about the digital era. With all the amazing things we can do with digital graphics, even imitating Spirograph patterns, we need things like Spirograph that develop the brain in other ways through fine hand-eye coordination, mathematical-like manipulation of materials (I would put knitting in the same category, actually, which is taught in Waldorf schools for this reason) and the pleasure of creating something awesome with your hands.
