There is a couple for sale from amazon for $100...they are shipped from the UK. 200 layers not 320 like this video. Anyone have any thoughts if they are any good?

"Product listing and ordering system does not yet function - info below is just for informative purposes and buttons are inactive. Today, three people are responsible for making all the tools, as well as managing the entire process from receiving the order to sending the tool to it's new home. We have made a decision to stop accepting orders for a while. We did not expect that in such a short period of time the interest in our work would be so high. We are sorry for this slow More..

That's why hand crafted tools cost more than mass produced and are worth every penny.

US$400 for the one shown.

I suspect they are not made as shown in the film, but more like one of those Asians who can do a repetitive task extremely efficiently.
Probably knock out a hundred per hour or so. Delay all deliveries for a few days just for effect.
