[@bloodlustquartet6234]

At 10:50 he mentions that you have to turn a piece to make it fit properly. This is the kind of attention to detail that I was hoping for, because Yugi specifically mentions having to rotate a piece to get it to fit in the first chapter of the manga when he's actually assembling the Millennium Puzzle, and that specific detail is what makes this faithful enough for me to want to purchase it. Great job.

[@harozuken]

That and the last piece is the eye.

[@galactic6262]

I have one. Sits on my TV stand. Really nice and was fun to put together. It also holds together really well although I did have one mishap where it fell and shattered apart. I will honestly recommend it, but how you spend your money is on you.

While both kits look pretty fun to get for the puzzle and the box, the fact that you confirmed a standard 1/144 RX-78-2 sized figure fits perfectly in the box like an actual sarcophagus caught my eye the most!

[@SerenadeURA]

I fell off of Yu-Gi-Oh as a card game a while ago because it's just not fun to play anymore, but I'll never lose my respect for the ridiculousness of the first season's anime. When I saw this kit announced, I preordered it ASAP and had a great time putting it together. Like you, I expected a typical 3D puzzle with locking sections, but they were as true to the source material as they could be and I think the engineering is outstanding. Took me 2 hours to do it so even though it wasn't a competition, I can say I have been outbrained by Mecha Gaikotsu.

[@Shadowzero347]

I'm glad you didn't just straight show the solution to solving the puzzle while praising the mechanisms worked in for putting the puzzle together in this review, so color me impressed with this

[@jahjalh9648]

Not only that but, as a different commenter pointed out, there's a single piece that only fits if you put it into place, then rotate it. Something yugi actively SAYS he had to do for one of the pieces when he was actually building the puzzle.

Another neat detail that you can try, is adding a dark leather string to the kit, to make it a cheaper wearable accessory for whenever you want to to try a Yugi Moto or Yami Yugi cosplay, by simply threading the string through the hole, then tie it, cutting the excess string. Another way to do so, is using a small gold necklace chain to the mentioned area of the puzzle.
