Surf Shack Puzzle from Buffalo Games

The Surf Shack puzzle from Buffalo Games is one of the hardest ones we’ve ever completed. The edges were the easiest part. It got tougher, much tougher, from there. So many colors. So many pieces. Objects everywhere. Small objects. Oh yes, it was worth it, but this one took us a while to complete. But, we’re not on a schedule here. We get done when we get done and we enjoy the ride as we go.

Reuse Recycle

One thing I found interesting with the Surf Shack puzzle from Buffalo Games was that some of the objects in it are re-used in other puzzles from the manufacturer. I’m not surprised but it just caught my eye. The image in this puzzle is nicely done and is high-quality. I wouldn’t call it a ‘copy and paste’ job.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 2000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 27″ high and 39″ wide. A large poster, included, is a great help. The pieces are fairly small. They fit together well and it’s hard to get a piece in wrong. The image is crisp and bright. The final picture is worth the struggle with the many, many colors! Sorting this puzzle was a challenge!

Train Station Puzzle from Dowdle

We are big fans of Dowdle puzzles. The great images, colors and quality are always a joy. And we don’t have to worry about them. We know we are getting the ‘good stuff’ when we buy one. Like this Train Station puzzle. Even the box this puzzle came in is quality. It doesn’t feel cheap. The pieces were heavy, not cheap. And of course, we knew we were in for a bit of a challenge.

Fun Things.

A puzzle should be fun. You shouldn’t fear working on it. It should be an enjoyable experience from the moment you see the box art until the moment you step back and look at the finished puzzle. We certainly enjoyed this Train Station puzzle from Dowdle. All the way through. As we went, we noticed all sorts of fun little things in the puzzle. That really contributed to a great puzzle experience. We recommend that you don’t rush it. “Stop and see the puzzle” would be our motto!

The Last Piece

This puzzle included two greatly colored posters and a resealable bag to put the completed puzzle into. There are 1000 pieces. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is fantastic, and the colors were great. A few spots were a bit challenging for sure! This is another enjoyable puzzle from Eric Dowdle.

Noodles For Lunch Puzzle from Galison

It never fails. We make a puzzle that is food-themed and I get hungry. This time it was the Noodles for Lunch puzzle from Galison. Thirty five bowls of noodles. If that doesn’t get you hungry, nothing will. Each bowl is different. The chopsticks are different colors. And the backgrounds are different. Thankfully. Otherwise this would’ve been one seriously-tough puzzle. As it was, it wasn’t that hard. But then, it wasn’t that easy either.

A Tight Fit

I was able to pick this Noodles for Lunch puzzle from Galison up by a corner piece when we were done. The pieces fit tight and do not come apart easily. It’s hard to make mistakes putting this one together. It’s pretty obvious if you have a piece wrong. Or even try to put a piece in the wrong spot.

Is this puzzle a frameable work of art when you’re done? Probably not. But it’s a cool puzzle nonetheless and it was fun to do. And that’s the whole idea!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 500 pieces. The final puzzle is a square that is 20″ x 20″. The pieces fit really well and are nice and thick. The images of the bowls are a little less crisp making them a bit challenging but not super-difficult. There is a poster included. This is a great challenging puzzle!

Chicken Family Puzzle from PPuzzling

Puzzling should be fun. This Chicken Family Puzzle from PPuzzling was one of the most fun puzzles we’ve ever completed. Not only is the final picture funny and so well done, but the entire puzzle is of the highest quality. The box is thick and sturdy with great colors. The pieces are packaged in a resealable bag. They are thick, fit well and have amazing imagery and color. The poster is large and as wonderfully colorful as the puzzle. This puzzle is great!

They’re Watching Us

You have to admit, the picture in the Chicken Family puzzle from PPuzzling is funny. Very funny. After we finished the edges, I started with the firework explosions and my wife worked on the eyes. The eyes are amazing. The faces are amazing. And even the feet are fun! There’s nothing about this puzzle that doesn’t make you smile.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle included a wonderful, large poster. The assembled puzzle is square and is about 24″ wide and high. The pieces fit really well and the image quality on the pieces is very good. The puzzle picture is slightly glossy and is humorous and challenging. This puzzle is well worth the price and is definitely frame-worthy when completed.

Breakfast In Bed Puzzle from Buffalo Games

Sometimes I feel a little like a broken record when I say “We love Aimee Stewart’s puzzles”. But it’s so true. The combination of the often nostalgic images and the wonderful colors appeals to us. This Breakfast in Bed puzzle from Buffalo Games is another of Ms. Stewart’s great works. It’s not overly complex, but subtle in many ways. How can you beat a great breakfast in bed, with a book, flowers, kitties and more?

It’s Not All Avocado Toast and Kittens

There are parts of this Breakfast in Bed puzzle that were a big challenging. Actually quite a few spots were. While the image is quite colorful and crisp on the left side of the puzzle, much of the right side is softer, more subdued. The colors are more pastel. Not super hard, but that part of the puzzle took us a little longer than the rest.

The Last Piece

This puzzle included a poster. There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is fantastic. The colors were great. This is another enjoyable puzzle from Aimee Stewart.

Disney Tsum Tsum Puzzle from Ceaco

You never know what puzzles you might find in an antique mall or flea market. Sometimes you go bust. Sometimes you find magic. I came across this Disney Tsum Tsum puzzle from Ceaco in an antique mall in El Paso, Illinois. For $2 no way was I going to pass it up. The picture looked fun. Even though I had no clue then what a Tsum Tsum is, I had to get it.

Lots of Interesting Faces

There are all sorts of wonderful characters in the Disney Tsum Tsum puzzle from Ceaco. Fortunately, though, they are all facing forward. If they’d been oriented randomly we’d still be working on this puzzle weeks after starting. The colors and the faces were all that saved us from a long time of puzzling.

This was a really fun puzzle. It is one of our all-time favorites. It is an older puzzle. I was not able to find it available new online, though I did see a few used ones on eBay. Ceaco makes a similar puzzle that is still available (below).

What’s A Tsum Tsum?

Heck I didn’t have a clue what a tsum tsum is. Well, after a little research I found that it’s a very very popular toy in Japan, mostly, but also elsewhere. Pronounced ‘(t)soom (t)soom’, the toys are highly collectible. And kinda cute, I have to admit. And they make for a great puzzle, too!

The Last Piece

This is a 300 piece puzzle. It did not include a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 19″ wide and 19″ high. The pieces are thick, fit well and the image quality on the pieces is good. The colors were great and bright. The characters are whimsical. This puzzle was fun to assemble and was a joy to look at when completed.

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.

The Last Piece

This puzzle includes a very nice colorful poster. There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 27″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces are thick and fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is fantastic. The colors were great and the pieces are cut perfectly. This is a quality puzzle that brings hours of enjoyment.

The Grand Fiction Library Puzzle from Buffalo Games

Wow, what a puzzle. This is one of the most amazing works from Aimee Stewart that we’ve ever completed. It’s fantastic in every way. The artistry is unbelievable. So many objects, with such detail and color that we found ourselves enjoying it for hours. It’s not usual for us to keep a completed puzzle around for just a little bit before moving on to the next one. Not this one. The Grand Fiction Library puzzle from Buffalo Games was one we had to sit and admire for days.

Not Easy. But Worth It.

The Grand Fiction Library puzzle from Buffalo Games took us a while to assemble. But first came the sorting. We always begin our puzzles by separating the edges and then the pieces, by color. Yeah, that was a challenge with this one. There are so many colors. Everywhere. Lots of similar one. Tons of them. We used 16 different containers to sort, a new record for us!

It took us days to assemble this one. It was the most challenging fun we’ve had. Aimee Stewart, one of our favorite artists, really did a great job on this one!

The Last Piece

This 2000 piece puzzle included 3 posters! Good thing, because you might be tempted to invite friends over to help! The assembled puzzle is about 39″ wide and 27″ high. It’s a big one! The pieces are small and stay together well. The colors are amazing. This is a quality puzzle that brings hours of enjoyment, and it’s a great value for the money!

Colorful Umbrellas in Bali Puzzle from Big Ben

This Colorful Umbrellas in Bali puzzle from Big Ben (once part of Milton Bradley and now Hasbro) was very tough for us to finish. It took us about as long as any 1000 piece puzzle has ever taken. It’s no longer made as far as I can tell but you can find it on eBay. At several points throughout the process I said “Good, no one else will have to go through this!”. But we made it. And we enjoyed the final result more, I think, if nothing else because of the challenging times we had.

Nice ‘Ellas

Yes, it was the bright colors that drew us to this Colorful Umbrellas in Bali puzzle from Big Ben. We found it at a garage sale. I’m pretty sure it had never been assembled before. I can see why, too. This puzzle could easily scare off even the most-seasoned puzzle veteran. Once you get past the umbrellas and what little identifiable beach sand there is, it’s tough. Way tough.

The Last Piece

This is a 1000 piece puzzle. It did not include a poster. The picture on the box did not show the entire puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ wide and 27″ high, although you can assemble it either in portrait or landscape orientation. The pieces are thick, fit well. The image quality on the pieces is not so good. This puzzle was difficult to assemble but still fun to sit back and enjoy.

Rooster Express Puzzle from Buffalo Games

There’s always something about a Charles Wysocki puzzle. The scenes are always relaxing. Enjoyable. Peaceful. And although there are often common elements in his artwork, each is totally different. We love assembling puzzles of his paintings. The Rooster Express puzzle from Buffalo Games was another great work. Wonderful colors and a witty image made it a joy to assemble.

Much Ado Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

There are some really fun elements in this Rooster Express puzzle from Buffalo Games. The chickens in the yard. The vegetable cart. And of course, the super large rooster pulling it. It’s whimsical and fun. But not without it’s challenges. The grassy areas and dirt path were a bit challenging. As was the rooster itself. This was a fun puzzle to stand back and enjoy when it was completed.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle did not include a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 25″ wide and 22″ high. The pieces fit pretty well and the image quality on the pieces is good. We did not get a single piece wrong which is pretty rare. The colors were great and bright.
