Succulents & Rocks & Minerals

These are surprisingly high quality puzzles with a very nice matte finish and great image quality. The subjects are fun — and real. One is pulp magazine covers from the ‘50’s, the other is fruit crate labels from the same era. I’ve included a few pics of the magazine covers, both overall and close-up. Most cover subjects that are off-limits today, either from stereotypes (the “stewardess” and the Captain) or bordering on exploitation. But they all existed, and were widely sold to teens and young adults as ”Romance Magazines”. How far we’ve come in such a relatively short time. These are especially good for multiple puzzlers, as you can each work on an area as a “mini puzzle”. The individual magazine cover art is distinctive enough in color and style to be able to find “your” piece from hundreds of other pieces relatively quickly. For example, there is lots of red or yelllow or blue in the covers, but each is slightly different, so a careful eye can find the same shade, which is probably unique to a particular magazine cover. Ditto the font colors and styles. The same is true for the fruit crate labels, although we’re in the middle of that one so no pics — but it’s great fun to see the artwork and creativity that went into these labels “back in the day”. I grew up surrounded by fruit orchards in Washington State, and likely ate fruit from some of these concerns 60 to 70 years ago. I may have even picked for a couple of them, as it was common in the ‘50’s for orchards to hire teens who were looking to make a few bucks. We would ride our bikes to the orchards, pick all day, eat too much fruit, get a few bucks, then ride home. They also used professional migrant pickers, but were kind (or smart) enough to also hire local kids, which was a boost to our little individual bottom lines — and the local “baseball trading card and bubble gum pack” economy. Only downside is there is no paper image to work from — only the small image on the back of the box. We solved that by scanning, enlarging (to 8-1/2 X 11) and printing multiple copies so we all have our own “crib sheet”, which makes the group puzzling much more fun. I would gladly pay more to have a foldable puzzle image included, as many (costlier) puzzle-makers do. But as far as image and product quality go, these are up with puzzles costing three times as much.

These were really fun puzzles to put together and very pretty/vibrant designs! The pieces attached easily and stayed together well.

These were 2 great puzzles. I was shocked that I got two of these for the price. Pieces weren’t too thin, they both came with paper posters inside. You can’t beat this deal.

Very clear images. The overall pictures are on the bottom of the boxes. They are small pictures but the detail is very good. The pieces are a little thin and don’t click so I used a bit of card stock to move groups into place. The ink is a wee bit fragile but not too bad with moderate care. Hidden Village - This one, alone, was easily worth $9. It’s a reasonably hard puzzle but there’s a balanced variety of colors and textures so it stays interesting for the most part. I totally recommend this pretty puzzle. I will save it and do it again someday. Daffodils - The top half of the puzzle is tedious and there was a missing piece of walkway but Amazon was more than fair about that. It’s a pretty pretty picture but I wouldn’t do this puzzle twice.

Love the colors, easy to assemble, quality cut, little to no dust and never a missing piece. Poster included.

I liked the puzzles but both each had one piece missing.

Family loved this gift! Great quality, beautiful images and vibrant colors. Difficulty as described on the box

Have only built the 1st puzzle, the one with the woods and cabin - thoroughly enjoyed. Great colors. Puzzle pieces are moderate/good quality, which for the price I was expecting much lower quality. The pieces fit together well, just could not always pick up groups of pieces. But all-in-all for the price this was an excellent puzzle. Enjoyable to put together, moderate difficulty and very pretty picture when it was done (looks nicer than the online picture or the box picture). There was no poster in the box, but I never use the poster anyway and am happy they saved the money on printing an expensive color poster.

Super cute vintage set of the perfume and beer bottles. My mother in law loves them! Picture quality is great and I haven't heard of any issues with piecing the puzzle together from her!

Produto de péssima qualidade, peças estão se desmanchando, não aguenta varias desmontagens e montagem

Very happy with product

Buena calidad. Solo como consejo, sería bueno que trajera una foto completa del rompecabezas.

Love these puzzles! They thankfully have all the pieces lol, I say that because I've had quite a few puzzles storebought and online that hasn't had all the pieces. These puzzles are way bigger than I thought and the pieces are fairly small so it's quite the challenge, these puzzles took me approximately 2 days each with my boyfriend. Would definitely by again, definitely going to get more :) I love the images enough that I really want to frame these puzzles
