Review on 🀠 Revive the Wild West: UGEARS Stagecoach Mechanical Model Brainteaser Unleashed! by Jelani Weaver

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great puzzle but the pieces are too tight

I am an avid 3D puzzle designer. I've probably made over 1000 different types of 3D puzzles, from wood to paper to Cubicfun and the like. I ran out of new mysteries when I saw an ad for UGEARS models. Stagecoach was my first build with UGEARS and I really enjoyed the process. My only complaint, and the reason I only give it 3 stars instead of 5, is the tight fit of some parts. Even using wax as suggested the parts didn't fit properly. I had to resort to filing and/or sanding the parts to fit together. It took a lot of extra time and patience. I don't seem to be the only one who had this problem with the puzzle. Several other reviewers have mentioned the same issue. This problem is also mentioned on the UGEARS website itself. Looks like UGEARS will have to make some of the notches a bit bigger to get the parts to fit properly. Aside from that minor annoyance, the puzzle was challenging and fun. The model turned out fantastic and I can't wait to do more.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
