They are made by Pressman. It is interesting to note that the copyright says, "(copyright) 1997 Uwe Meffert patent #5,358,247" for *both* puzzles. (same mechanism) They also are selling the Pyraminx in the same type packaging. Is the Pyraminx also a Skewb mechanism? (I didn't buy one since I already had one) Now I wish they would bring back some other puzzles! :-) -- Douglas Zander | dzander@solaria.sol.net | Shorewood, Wisconsin, USA |
