Movie poster collages always make for enjoyable puzzles, and this was no exception! I have actually seen most of the movies in the image, there are only about five that I haven’t seen or am unsure about. I could have done without the popcorn and other movie paraphernalia in the image, but it was still a really nice puzzle.
Posting is late, but I worked on this on the actual anniversary of the shipwreck, which is the night between April 14 and 15. I’ve done at least five Titanic-themed puzzles over the years, but this was the last still in my to-do pile.
The quality was really good for a Master Pieces puzzle – they can be a bit hit and miss.
Titanic White Star, Master Pieces, 1000 pieces. Completed on April 15, 2024.
This was just as much fun as it looks. I always enjoy vintage ads, and there’s plenty of that here, although Pepsi and Coca Cola are the only brands I actually recognized. Master Pieces quality varies a lot, but this puzzle was ok.
I’ve only done three MasterPieces puzzles before, and those were all much better quality than this one. Unfortunately, the fit wasn’t very good. It was mushy, not as bad as Sunsout at its worst, but the same kind of bad fit. This was a very recent acquisition, and I noticed that the price was lower than for the previous MasterPieces puzzles I bought. I would rather have the better quality and the higher price.
So, I started out a bit grumpy because of the bad cut, but I have to say this image was so much fun that I still enjoyed myself enormously. I especially liked all the signs on the wall 🙂
On an unrelated note, I found the lost piece from Monaco Classics. It was in the fridge. Yes, in the fridge. I think I know how it happened: there was a box of clementintes in the fridge, and I took it out for a while and put it down on the table where the puzzle was. When I put the box back in, there must have been a piece stuck to the bottom.
This is part of the Master Pieces Inside Out-series, where we are shown the inside and outside of various buildings, in this case a brewery. This was great fun!
I like Master Pieces puzzles, they have great images, but unfortunately, they aren’t often available in Europe, or if they are, they can be quite expensive. Not this time, though, I got this during a sale 🙂
This is one of my favourite puzzles ever. I love the image, and it’s part of the MasterPieces EZGrip-series, with XL pieces. I had an extra piece, so someone is probably missing one.
Vintage travel collage with one piece missing (bottom edge). I don’t have many MasterPieces puzzles, this is the second with the wrong number of pieces – one puzzle had an extra piece. In this case, I’m fairly confident that the piece wasn’t there to begin with because I noticed it was missing early on. It’s an edge piece, and especially the blue is pretty distinctive. Otherwise, it’s a great puzzle!
I usually puzzle alone, but I had some help from friends with this one.
The box was shaped like a suitcase.
