Twisty Polyhedra and Such

Over the years, there have been many variations on the Rubik's Cube type puzzle where elements held within the puzzle can be rearranged. There are also custom versions made by enthusiasts, some of which (both the person and the item) have become well-known in the puzzle collecting community. The table below shows some of the items I will add to my collection as serendipity permits.

Key:

A commercially-produced puzzle I have. A commercially-produced puzzle I do not have. A commercially-produced puzzle on my wish list. A rare commercially-produced puzzle. (Of course I'd like to have one!)
A custom puzzle I have. A custom puzzle I do not have. A custom puzzle on my wish list. A very rare or one-of-a-kind custom puzzle. (Of course I'd like to have one!)
