I just opened the ultra-rare Ultimate Jigsaw Puzzle! See what's inside and watch me solve it here: czcams.com/video/HNieUipWv0k/video.html
Only collecting that tower for 2 or 3 months doesn't really help your case as much as you think 😅
Haha I thought she was going to say 2 to 3 years! But, hey, at least it wasn't 2 to 3 weeks.
Sameee, I though she was gonna say "this last six months" or something, even then, THATS TOO MUCH
Depends on how fast she can go through this 😅 I have the feeling it wouldn't last 3 month 🤭
Lol true. I wish I had her puzzle budget!
Only karen would be excited for a puzzle named "The Frustrator" 😂
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
I've definitely said it before, but I really hope that one day you find a way to open a small puzzle museum with all these collections! It's always incredible to see these vintage puzzles being documents, collected, and shared with all of us to enjoy, appreciate, and experience, so thank you!
Small museums are always a treat. Even display events at local rec centers are exciting!! ❤️❤️
It could be next to the Anvil Museum! :D
That tower of boxes is IMPRESSIVE!
You're first! Definitely didn't have an advantage sitting across the table from me 👀
🎶happy Sunday to you🎶 with all of the stacks of jigsaw puzzles you received, fun fun fun is the only(s) word to describe a stacked room filled boxes of puzzles. My birthday is just under 3 weeks away and there’s $160 + $10 coming to me🙂. Mom is sending me $10 because she said that the puzzles were to high-priced for her and no one can’t afford them. She also said $10 is enough birthday money for me. That will cover my gift. My mom (Nancy) lives in Dexter Maine. Well, it’s happy 36th birthday for me
Karen: Don't worry about me, I've been collecting these for 2-3 months.
Also Karen: So, in the time since I filmed this, I got EVEN MORE BOXES
Out of all the puzzles, the Missouri one by Jerry is the coolest! The amount of work and thought and care that went into it, by a person doing it for the first time... that's just so cool and awesome! I've always wanted to create my own art for a puzzle, but I never even thought to make the whole puzzle myself, nor to make it physically and stylistically fit with an already existing puzzle. Ten Hundred's puzzle is also super impressive, and I love that it looks like it has a ton of details.
For the "talking" puzzles, I'm really glad you got a "child's" version as well, because it'll be a good starter to see how the whole series works.
And finally, the puzzle out of these pictured here that I would do first if I had them: Cats in Windows. I love cats!
I was thinking the same, such an incredible work!
Such a passion project! I'm so glad Karen was able to share it with a wide audience who would truly appreciate it
I love your big hauls... makes me feel more normal for indulging heavily in art & craft supplies 😂
Her addict making yours look good in comparison?!? 🤣😭🤣 Take care and have fun!!! 😎😄😎
@@theguest4516 absolutely. Life is short, it's good to indulge yourself into your hobby.
@@ArtJourneyUK100%! Life is about happiness and fulfillment. Nothing more rewarding than a finished craft, (for me a pie) etc.
With you there.
Thank you for including that message from jerry!! that's such an amazing artistic project he undertook, congratulations to him for seeing it through!
I always loooove those eboo designs! tell them to send some to my library xD I don't have the space or money to have a puzzle collection myself rn so i'm just going through my local library's collection! they have some great ones and got some new contributions recently but there's a loooot that aren't to my style taste that i have to sift through to find fun ones
Ohh, I scrolled through the comments and thought they're talking about a 10000 piece puzzle, then I realized it's that Ten Hundred once you show the box. Watched a couple of his videos before. I enjoy his art style and can't wait to see you work on the puzzle!
Jerry's Missouri puzzle is amazing!
Agreed!
I’m so excited for you to solve the Ten Hundred puzzle along with the “Who done it?” mystery! I’m happy that it was also gifted to you too. We made had told him all about you when he was figuring out which puzzle company to go with.
That Cobble Hill rainbow puzzle is absolutely one of my favorites from my own puzzle collection. It actually comes from a series where each puzzle is based on a different color!
Yes, I've seen that! They look beautiful when laid end to end.
I’m working on the series right now! I’m only on green - halfway through - but I bought myself the 2000 piece rainbow version as motivation to get them all done. Such a beautiful series!
I’m sooo excited for you to do the TenHundred puzzle!! I purchased it myself on the kickstarter as well as some of his other projects. It was truly an INCREDIBLE puzzle to do and it’s absolutely beautiful. So excited for that video💜
You'll have to compare the holographic one with the silver Prismagic puzzle! Love the Frustrator.
That's the plan!
THE TALKING JIGSAW!!! I had the office building one with congratulations on the back - I did it so many times I ended up doing in backwards because I knew where all the windows were supposed to go!
It’s like Christmas morning, puzzle edition! So fun! Can’t wait to see you solve the red holographic one!
OMG That Ceaco corkboard puzzle just unlocked a core memory for me!! I've been trying to collect old puzzles that I did as a child with my grandfather, and there was one that I could sort of remember that it had shaped pieces-one of which was a hot air balloon- but I could never remember more about it so I didn't ever really know what to search for. And you just found it!! I'm sobbing I'm so happy rn. Thank you!!! 💗
You should message @sarahdoespuzzles on Instagram - she sells vintage puzzles and always has the ones from that series!
@@KarenPuzzles Thank you so much!!
You can really see your joy when you open a puzzle you've been wanting, like the frustrator! I collect Lego and when I finally get a set from the 90s that I used to drool over in the catalogue as a kid but could never buy, I get that same joy!
lol I love your commitment to the Gameophiles map puzzles. Earlier this year I finished a Gameophiles nautical map puzzle of the US Virgin Islands that I randomly found at a thrift store for a dollar and your deep dive video gave it a whole new significance :-D
I love the Alchemist's House series from eeBoo! I have done the house puzzle and the Alchemist's Cabinet Puzzle, and I am so excited to do the Alchemist's Library now too!!!
Hi Karen, I don't really do puzzles myself, but I want to thank you for your videos. I experience a lot of anxiety and mental distress, and your videos are great to watch when I'm not doing well, since they're simultaneously interesting and engaging, while also being lighthearted and relaxing. Thank you, and I wish you all the best with puzzling and your channel!
So jealous that you have that collection of "the talking jigsaw puzzle" they are such fun to put together. We own "the beach" and "the office building." When we completed them, we took pictures and printed the solution to keep with the puzzle. The clues can be a bit vague at times, but that's what makes it fun. We enjoyed "the beach" more than "the office building" I've watched your channel for a while and hoped you would solve one for your audience. I haven't seen you complete any puzzles that are quite like that series. Hope you enjoy them as much as my husband and I do.
I love seeing your passion for puzzling and your joy at finding unique puzzles. It makes my heart happy!
I literally clapped when I saw the Ten Hundred puzzle. I have just finished it myself, although haven't tried to solve the mystery yet. I was actually so impressed with the quality of the puzzle itself - so much fun to solve. I can't wait to see you solve it.
Being from St. Louis, MO and see you have a STL map and Missouri puzzle in one video makes me so jealous 😅😅😅
Wow so many amazing puzzles.. This is a GREAT haul. It's so cool to get some of your Holy Grail puzzles, but I have to say the puzzle sent to you by Jerry is sooooooo impressive. So much time, thought and creativity went into that puzzle. The fact that he even made it so it would fit with the other Springbok state is just beyond well thought out.
Jerry! You are amazing! The dedication to make that puzzle - so impressive and inspiring 👍🏻😀
We were gifted “The Frustator” by My BF’s friend and it took us about 6 months to complete 😂. it was missing 3 pieces but still so beautiful and the most challenging puzzle we’ve completed.
I’m curious to see Karen’s strategy once she begins.
Oooh. While you have my condolences for the 6 MONTHS you spent on it, it makes me excited for some juicy juicy Karen content where she says "I think I'll have this done today, guys!" and then 3 hours later, "This puzzle is so hard, what was I thinking?"
@@theyxaj haha I’m excited too!
Granted we only worked on it a couple hours during the weekends we had time but we definitely didn’t expect it to be so tough. Lives up to the name!
The pieces form together oddly, unlike any other puzzle we have ever done.
We have it on display under our glass coffee table now.
This was such a fun video to ser. Her excitement is contagious. Being a collector myself, I was so happy to see her get her grails. I am still in search of my grails. Congrats. I am sure you are beyond excited and still in disbelief.
I am sooooooo excited for the TenHun puzzle!!!
I find it awesome that the community can reach out to Karen and help out with finding cool dang puzzles
Very cool vintage puzzles! Yayy, can't wait to see them done 🎉
The excitement you express while showing us your puzzles is so great.
The frustrator puzzle is beautiful
For someone who once said they didn't want to start collecting mini puzzles, there were quite a few mini puzzles in this haul. 😆
She can't get away from them 😂😂
Happy Sunday, Karen! 😊
What a great collection!!
What amazing additions to your puzzle collection!
I love seeing you so excited over your collection! I have many collections, and anytime I can add something new, it’s always a great time
As someone who is from St. Louis. I really resonated with the STL and Missouri puzzles! Those are awesome! Excited to see them done. And can’t wait to see you do that first iridescent puzzles!
Your excitement over puzzles is the best thing ever❤
I love haul videos, seeing someone's joyful reactions to things they love always puts a smile on my face! The puzzles are so beautiful, and I love all the stories behind them - I especially liked the one from Jerry, I think that's so cool they made their own AND to fit with the Springbok ones. Happy puzzling!!!!!
Amazing! My favorite of these were the Pieceworks puzzles, so 70s vintage looking, I love that! And the Eboo puzzles also seem so much fun to put together. You're lucky!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
❤ 10hun! I laughed at "all the lore" - of course there's fun behind his painting but some good story behind the original scene and characters as well ❤
The Talking Puzzles! I loved those when I was growing up. I know we had Last Resort, and I think I remember that we solved it correctly? I thought it was so neat that you need to use other kinds of logic and reasoning to get it put together correctly, not just "normal" puzzling technique.
Karen, I don’t think you can slow down on your puzzle purchases, nor should you - they obviously bring you joy.
The talking puzzles and 3d mystery puzzles are so interesting as well! Looking forward to your future videos!
Your puzzle addiction is like my yarn addiction. I always buy tons of new fiber then only knit with 1/4 of it 😂
Collecting for hobbies and doing the hobbies are two different hobbies!
I loved all the puzzles! The Missouri puzzle and the 3d mystery puzzles look really interesting
Yeah! I was waiting for you to get The Last Supper!🥳
those piecework puzzles are gorgeous!! wow.
Omg I love when you open puzzles cause it sets my eyes in what new ones I want! I can’t wait to get me talking puzzling! They seem so fun!
This is the best puzzle haul! 😀
I'm been wanting the eeboo Alchemist puzzles! I love the interior view of the house
collecting is such a beautiful hobby. Every piece you add has a story and a relationship with another person. The amount of love shared between people who love their hobby, and supporting each other. It's so lovely.
a few steps closer to the vintage puzzle museum!
the NJ puzzle made me go "ooooh!" out loud. i didnt know you're from NJ! I'm also from central jersey living in CA!
The joy in your face opening all these boxes is delightful. Love your videos Karen and look forward to seeing more of the 9000 piece one!
I had one of those talking jigsaw puzzles (the red one, I think), and I have been looking everywhere to get some more as I loved it! A puzzle within a puzzle. Have not been able to find what they were even called so thank you very much - I can keep an eye out for them now. 🥰 Xxx
You are such a puzzle nerd and I'm totally here for it. I love all the holographic pieces you got. When you unboxed the NJ map... I wanted to tell you I was a nanny in Whitehouse Station NJ about 20 yrs ago. The kids are prob close to your age! I loved it there. I think NJ gets a bad rep, ppl are nice and the countryside in central Jersey is beautiful.
I already can't wait for you to do the first two puzzles you showed omg!!
My Sundays start when Karen Uploads❤
My Sundays start when I get to read all of these comments ❤️
Those mystery puzzles look so fun, I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.
Gee, that's like ten Christmases all together 🤪 By the time you're a grandma, they'll be worth a fortune! I wish you much fun!
I have the California Springbok puzzle! I got it when I was maybe 10, 1970.
That was an amazing haul! I remember a while ago when you were saying you weren't sure about getting smaller puzzles to make a collection of them and I was just hoping that you would because they're so cute! 😂 It was a nice surprise to see a few small ones! The Frustrator and Holographic puzzles are absolutely beautiful too! I'd love to solve some of the Eeboo ones, especially the Four Birds. It looks so pretty and I don't have any circular puzzles. It's a funny coincidence, I was researching where to get Eeboo puzzles online and browsing through catalogues and the Lavender Kitchen and Four Birds were the ones I loved the most!!!
I have the Eeboo 100 Great Words puzzle. It is one of my favorites. I love that the words are all defined on the inside of the box. I wish they had a 1000 piece version of it though.
Awesome. I can’t wait to see the video on the mystery puzzles.
The talking jigsaw puzzle! I used to have one of these as a teen that I assembled with my sister. Ours was of a gym, and we had fun assembling it as it was on the box before putting it together as intended by the company for the conversations the different people were having in the gym. Brings back memories!
I had that Cube Twister puzzle when I was a kid and have been searching for one again for years! Glad you got one.
I'm most excited about the eeboo puzzles! They're just so beautiful. My favourites are lavender citchen, alchemists library, cats in windows and seaside harbor.
I always love your hauls! We had the hospital talking puzzle when I was a kid. We never solved it, but my brother and I put all of the windows together.
I would love to do the Cobble Hill puzzle, and the Alchemist Library from Eeboo.
I'm most interested in the mystery puzzles. I liked your videos on the murder mystery puzzles and the concept seems so intriguing!
Can’t wait to see you do Ten Hundred’s puzzle! I found your channel because someone said he should send you a copy! ❤
Wow, such an incredible puzzle haul! Lucky lady! 😀 I think I would most enjoy the stack of eeBoo puzzles, as I love those. I’d probably choose the Alchemist’s House and Lisbon. Also, I think the re-imagined Last Supper looks interesting. The Missouri puzzle is delightful and so thoughtfully produced 💛🧩👌🏼
I'm so excited to see you solve the frustrater by eaton! I have loved that puzzle since you first talked about it in an older video.
Wow. Jerry's Missouri puzzle is mind-blowing. Such a brilliant idea and its realization. Gorgeous 😍
Sometimes, when Im working on a big puzzle, I get a bit bored and discouraged, and just don't want to continue working on it, but then I put on one of your videos and suddenly my energy is back! Thank you for this, you're constantly encouraging me with your love for puzzles.
I LOVE that Missouri puzzles as I am from St Louis! I wish Springbok would have made one. SO COOL that you have this custom puzzle!! And the St Louis map one! EEEEEE!! Want!!!
The Cobble Hill puzzle is one od my favourite puzzles I ever made! I solved the 2000 one and the 1000 one, liked the smaller more, but what a wonderful image!
I just ordered some of those 3D mystery puzzles. They look like a ton of fun. Thanks for showing them!
I love watching your videos. You rock mate. Keep collecting.❤❤❤❤
I have the Cobble Hill gradient puzzle as a 2000 piece, it is super fun!
I thought about getting the 2000, but I knew I'd never commit to that in my free time 😂
I remember doing the cork board puzzle as a kid. So many great memories doing puzzles growing up. Central NJ too.
One of those Mystery Towers puzzles!!! Love a mystery. The panel aspect is interesting and would appreciate to see how it works. Plus the 3D aspect. Like that there's a foundation for it seems like it would be easier. Anyways, I think it would be a fun one. Your haul was awesome nice mix if old and new. Take care and have fun!!! 😎😄😎
Honestly all of eeboo puzzles look so fun! The artworks are right up my alley.
Ahhhh I love Eeboo puzzles!! Those are so beautiful. (Also I found that 100 Great Words puzzle at Goodwill…if it’s on the newer side I guess I really scored!)
Yeeeeeeeees I’m so excited to see you solve the last supper puzzle!!!!!
Woah, that custom puzzle that Jerry made was so cool. So nice of him to send it you
Yassss cannot wait for the 10 Hun one!
I owned the holographic puzzle when I was a teenager! It took my family a long time to complete it.
Karen I have subscribed to your channel for so long! I love it!
The road map puzzles are my favs !
Oh I'm excited to see those 3D mystery jigsaws! My dad had one when I was growing up and I remember always staring at it and being baffled how anyone could solve it. It's really cool to see the name and pictures of that again.
And wow how cool is that Missouri puzzle! Nice work Jerry!
Glad to see you finally got ahold of a Frustrator. I bought mine when it came out as part of my qust for the hardest puzzles. It is not fully interlocking and you might have to be a bit more creative in sort criteria.
I have done one of the "talking" jigsaw puzzles. Great fun arranging each window into to is proper place. Wish I had that collection that you now have.
I had one of those "Talking Jigsaw Puzzle" (18:36) back in the early 90s. Easy to solve! Only the version I had had a different size pieces so, there *weren't* 4 pieces per panel.
Your enthusiasm is infectious.
I had that Hotel Whodunit 3D Mystery puzzle as a kid! My parents bought it for me when I was probably 7 or 8, and I could never really wrap my head around what it wanted me to "solve" so I was never able to really complete it; it got lost in a move many years ago and I've been sad I haven't been able to actually tackle it again, so I'm really looking forward to seeing you do a video on them!
I remember the box saying you could "view the same room from different angles" for the corner rooms and going through literally the entire puzzle and having some just seem like they didn't actually match up at all.
I'd love to do any Eeboo puzzles! I love their bright punchy illustrations
So many. Would love that holographic. I have so many vintage puzzles.
