I finally managed to finish the second Le Mont Saint-Michel. It wasn’t difficult, but it took a lot longer than I expected because I got a bit bored doing the same image twice in a row.

The second puzzle had all the pieces, in fact, there was an extra:

It looks like a Ravensburger.

This time, the whole cut was different, as you can see:

Even the basic piece shapes are completely different, and there are small variations in colour tone. There was no difference in quality, though, unlike last time.

I decided to do the same puzzle twice as my next project. I have two copies of this puzzle, because I had already bought one when I got another in a lot with other puzzles:

I’ve done the same thing once before, will be interesting to see if I have the same experience.

I was a bit worried that I would find the image too dark, but it turned out to be a really nice puzzle.

I finished the first puzzle, and it turned out to have one piece missing, the top left corner.

So, I was feeling pretty good about the quality of Grafika, but then I did this Clementoni right after Fish Magic, and I have to say, as soon as poured out the pieces, I remembered what true quality feels like. Grafika is all right, but not really top notch.

Movie poster collages may be my most favourite type of puzzle, and I knew this would go very fast (it’s only 500 pieces), so I did it without using the image on the box to prolong the pleasure. It was still pretty fast 🙂

I counted posters for 34 movies (some movies have two posters), and I’ve seen about a third of them. Some of them don’t quite fit the title, especially North by Northwest & Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Not the easiest puzzle I’ve ever done, but well worth it for the magnificent colours. Also good quality, but I could tell it’s been assembled a few times before.
