Blue Truck and Red Barn Puzzle from Brother Sister Design Studios

This Blue Truck and Red Barn Puzzle from Brother Sister Design Studios was one of our first puzzles purchased at Hobby Lobby. They have a good-sized selection of puzzles, ranging in piece counts that will satisfy anyone’s skill level. We found this puzzle to be quite enjoyable. The scene is pleasant and well-done. For the price (we got it for 40% off) it was a major score for the amount of time we spent assembling and enjoying it!

Random Cut

The pieces in the Blue Truck and Red Barn Puzzle from Brother Sister Design Studios are random cut. And that’s putting it mildly. They’re so random that we actually mis-sorted at least 20 pieces as edges that in fact were not edges. You can get a feel for it in the picture in the sides of the mountains. No two pieces are alike. It’s actually very fun. And very challenging. Like I mentioned, we feel like we more than got our money’s worth from this puzzle!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is 30″ wide and about 24″ high. The pieces fit a little loose but are nice and thick. The pieces are very randomly and oddly cut, adding to the challenge. The image is nice. There are some very challenging places in this puzzle that gave us hours of enjoyment (and frustration!).

Country Store Puzzle from Buffalo Games

I’m a big fan of puzzles like this Country Store puzzle from Buffalo Games. Give me a puzzle with old trucks, signs and lots of country-like stuff and I’m one happy puzzling guy. It didn’t hurt that the red truck in this puzzle is very similar to the one my grandfather had many, many years ago. Or that the blue truck is very similar to the one my dad had (although his was not a step-side).

A Fairly Easy Challenge

This Country Store puzzle from Buffalo Games was not terribly challenging, but there were some areas that were harder to finish than others. The sky was a bit tough. It was fun to assemble and more fun to look at. There are so many cool things in the picture to find and enjoy and the colors are amazing.

50s Starlite Diner Puzzle from Bits and Pieces

Although we typically do larger puzzles, with 1000 or more pieces, we are always open to any puzzle if we like the design. This 50s Starlite Diner puzzle from Bits and Pieces caught our eye as we were perusing the puzzle shelves at our local Hobby Lobby. The puzzle captures a 1950s scene outside a neon -lit diner. Cool cars, classic drive-in food and the outfits people are wearing were all we needed. And although it took us very little time to assemble, this is one of our favorite puzzles.

Bob’s Hardware Puzzle from White Mountain

How fun!!! Oh how we loved this Bob’s Hardware puzzle from White Mountain. The colors and quality did not disappoint. We enjoyed every piece. And we really enjoyed the final image. That’s not to say that there weren’t difficult spots as we went along. But that’s ok. We knew that our efforts would be rewarded in the end and they were.

A Colorful Challenge

This Bob’s Hardware puzzle from White Mountain is busy. There’s stuff everywhere. Colorful stuff, too. Similar colors too, that make things a bit more challenging. The shop windows were tricky. I started by putting together the large sign above the shop thinking that it would be a walk-in-the-park. I was a bit wrong. It took me longer than I had expected. That’s ok. A puzzle with a few tough spots makes for a more enjoyable experience, I believe. We were really happy with the colorful imagery in the end. This is one of our favorite puzzles.
