When I first started selling variations on my original
Barcode Burr puzzle, I came up with this "Master Set" which included a few new ideas of mine, as well as some of
Derek Bosch:
At the time, these were the only variations that I had come up with. These sets came with two sets of
body pieces preinstalled with black and blue insert pieces (
Barcode Burr and
CoordiCode Burr) and preassembled so that you get a chance to do these ones as disassembly puzzles rather than assembly puzzles.
I also sold an "upgrade kit" that omitted the preassembled
Barcode Burr if you'd already purchased of those from me.
In the first few versions of this master set that I shipped out, I included an extra "copper" colored body piece so that you could opt to have piece #1 look different than the rest in order to make solving easier. Eventually I stopped doing this in favor of offering
rainbow body piece kits as separate items to purchase.
After selling a few dozen Master Sets like this, I came up with several new coordinate motion designs such as:
