Unfortunately, I had already taken this apart when I realized that I had forgotten to take a photo, so you’ll have to take my word for it that I actually finished it. It was every bit as entertaining as it looks, although I managed to lose a piece.
This was my second Magnolia puzzle, and the pieces seem thinner than I remember. The cut is still excellent, but for the price I would appreciate the thicker cardboard. Anyway, I love the image, although the dark bits were a bit difficult. I’ve already ordered a few more of Romi Lerda’s Alice-images.
This was so much fun! Probably because of the image, I had no false fits (eeBoo is a bit prone to false fits), and at no time did I have to think about what to do next – it practically put itself together.
There was a lot of green here, but they were different kinds of green, and with different patterns, so it wasn’t too bad. I did have some false fits, but overall a very enjoyable puzzle.
This was my first Elena Essex puzzle, and I found the quality to be fine, but not exceptional. There were no false fits, but the fit could have been better. There was a good mix of piece shapes, and overall, I absolutely loved this puzzle.
I had a closer look at the books, and it seems the artist likes fairytales, ornitology, and spells:
This image was pretty challenging, and the puzzle took quite a while to finish. Fortunately, the cur was very good, and there were no false fits, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to complete it, and that would have been a shame, as it was a gift from a friend who spends her summer vacations in the Åland islands.
That should be Amalfi, I think, but it says Amalfy both on the box and on the puzzle itself.
Alipson was a new brand for me, and I don’t think there will be many more. The pieces were sturdy enough, but unfortunately, the fit wasn’t good. The pieces just didn’t fit together well.
The image is lovely, with lots of paintings that I recognize, and probably even more that I don’t, but unfortunately the cut was not only boring (all pieces of the same basic shape), but also full of false fits. I had several in the sky part, although it’s a very small sky. I still enjoyed it, but with better quality this could have been a great puzzle.
Here is The Oarsmen’s Breakfast by Renoir, and I’ve done this as a puzzle.
Nightmare on Elm Street has always been one of my favourite movies, so I had to get this. As a puzzle, it was a bit dark, of course, but there was a really good mix of piece shapes, which helped a lot. For the puzzle challenge, this is # 21 (Cartoon) Villain.
While doing this, I was rewatching the newer It-movies, and I saw a puzzle in It: Chaper Two. Very apt, since the author Stephen King is also a puzzler.
This was a wooden puzzle of excellent quality, loaned to me by a friend. It was only 191 pieces, but still took about 2-3 hours to put together. Tricky, but enjoyable!
I’ve never heard of Innovakids before, but according to the box, they’re a German company. Interestingly, the box had text in many languages, including German, Dutch, French and Polish, but no English.
The puzzle was probably commissioned by Aldi to sell in their stores, since their logo is on the box, although my friend bought it second hand in Finland (we don’t have Aldi in Finland).
