    The glue on the box might be their way of going without the bag or shrinkwrap, which is likely more environmentally friendly and minimizing waste in general. Those plastics are in most cases not the most reusable aspect of the packaging.

    Well, I’m a med lab technologist in a hospital who was asked to work nights during a vacation week (booked a long time ago). I had a few days off, then I got a call from my supervisor telling me I had to come back. Three people are isolating right now, plus the tech 2. I will get my vacation days back, plus I am making double pay for each of these night shifts. I do consider myself lucky to be essential, and unionized, and not laid off like as happened to so many people. I had plans to do a puzzle this week, but oh well. The coworker I am covering posted a picture of herself on Instagram stories doing a puzzle and journaling, things I wanted to do this week...

    I have about 20 puzzles from this brand, and I think the quality is terrific for the price. Very rarely do I find pieces with torn cardboard. One thing I love is their selection of 2000 piece puzzles, especially the colorful ones with images by Aimee Stuart. I don't see many brands offering 2000 piece puzzles. It's such a great size for people who are looking for a bigger puzzle challenge but don't have space or money for 5000 and up. Buffalo Games has a huge variety of their puzzles on Amazon, and many of the 2000 piece puzzles are less than $20. [Um, That was before COVID19. I just checked Amazon to confirm my statement, and the puzzles are GONE or hugely overpriced. Check back later when things hopefully get back to normal.]

A huge shout out to any veterinary workers out there who have been caring for everyone's pets this whole thing and are usually forgotten amongst other essential medical professionals.

I was glad to hear that you didn't just breeze right through it in an hour, made me feel a bit better about my skills. :) I worked on it sporadically, 30 minutes or an hour at a time and it took me about 2 months to finish.

    Hey Karen, found you from the try guys video. This review convinced me to start buying puzzles. I learned about foam core boards and observing the the total puzzle measurements before I purchased. Thank you, for that. Since I started watching your channel I’ve invested in four colorful 300 count puzzles from Buffalo Games. This review was super helpful because I learned that I’d need to use a letter opener to get the box open. Which worked beautifully. However, today is the day I received the 1000 color challenge puzzle that is featured in this video. I guess they’ve been watching your channel too because the box came taped on the sides, not glued on the inside AND the puzzle pieces came in a bag! Hehehehe, good on you, Karen! Keep up the great work! I hope you review more Buffalo games puzzles! I know I’m happy starting my collection with this company.

Now I’m a junkie 🤣. I started with Disney but recently branched out 🤣. I don’t have patience if they’re too hard and they need to be colorful! I love that now people are in they have picked up the hobby, but I’ve had a long list going and can’t find them anywhere now 😭. But I got a new Ravensburger this morning, Midnight at the Library? And a few more in the mail 🤣. I finished Going to the Movies by Springbok this morning. Stay safe and a HUGE thank you to all the people in the health care profession! ❤️

I would love to have what is considered higher quality puzzles but if I can have two or three Buffalo Games versus one Ravensburger, I'll take BG. Once in a while if there is a more expensive puzzle that I really want, I'll try to save up for it. But otherwise, BG suits me just fine. Thanks for giving an honest and positive review to them.

    I’ve gone back to puzzles during this time. I’m no pro and hadn’t done a puzzle in MANY years. The largest I’ve completed is 500 pieces. I tried to start a 750 piece, but due to limited space....I gave up. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway, I discovered your channel about a week ago. I love your videos, very informative and not too serious. 😃 I’ve done one of the Buffalo puzzles (I think) the sides of the box were glued & no bag. Haven’t done a gradient puzzle.....yet. But I am hooked mother app you recommended...InLove Hue. 💜👍🏼
    As for being thankful, grateful and praying for those essential folks out there. My niece is an RN In a PICU in NYC. She is definitely on the middle of it!! My husband is essential because he works at a paper plant that produces the oh so precious toilet paper m paper towels, kleenex, wet wipes etc. And two of our four sons are also essential. So yes, I’m VERY thankful for everyone who is required to be out there everyday.

    Great video, Karen! I am currently working on a Star Wars 1000 piece from Buffalo Games and it seems to me that it could be the same cut as this one. Thanks for always putting out such positive content!

    I love buffalo games puzzles. I thought they'd be poor quality since they are $10 at walmart, but I've always been impressed with the click and the colors and fit

    I've never done a gradient puzzle and I'm really unsure if I'd like it or not. I love the look of them, but I tend to do puzzles where there's lots of detail. Stay safe everyone, and thanks to all who are working towards getting us through this time x

    I just finished this puzzle today. Took me 23 months. I would do a piece here and there and just left it on the table. I framed it, and now it's going on my wall. It's a beautiful, feel good picture.

    I’ve been eyeing this puzzle for awhile, debating whether to get it or not. I’ve done the cloudberries, 1000 colors and a ravansberger gradient puzzles and I love them so much. Might have to give this one a try. Thank you for the kind words. I work as a pharmacy tech and it’s been kinda of a stressful time lately.

    Before all the craziness started I had picked up a Buffalo Puzzles Sea Turtles puzzle for $1 at Goodwill. I wanted to give to my mom who loves sea turtles but I had to do the puzzle first to make sure it was all there and it was! She loved it and it was a great gift at a great time as she is the grocery supervisor at our local Walmart and has been working practically everyday!

    I just did this puzzle a few days ago, and I thought it was funny how I did it the exact same way as you without watching this video! I started with the green and yellow, got stuck, moved to do the blue/purple/pink, and then moved into the red, ending right in the same area as you 😂

    I've watched several of your videos and didn't realize you did one of this particular puzzle which I tried to put together last week and just couldn't finish it! The middle section where the orange and pink met the red really kicked up butt. I tried for two days and finally gave up. Will try again in the futurre. Anyways, Buffalo Games is my favorite puzzle company. Their puzzles are very affordable and I love their Charles Wysocki puzzles. And their Vivid collection too.

    Because of quarantine, me and my dad did a puzzle that we forgot we had and then we decided to buy even more puzzles. We found 2 puzzles from a company called Eurographics Puzzles, and the had this thing called "smart cut" where the pieces where soooo weird, there were almost no classic pieces. I would really like to see you making a puzzle that has smart cut technology!! ❤️❤️

  • @stephen.t.slater

    This exact same image is available in the UK (Amazon) as Impuzzibles Wavy Rainbow.
    The pieces were in a plastic bag, but they did also leave off the shrink wrap. There was no poster included.
    The cut is completely different. It has more standard rounded knobs and no split pieces with the diagonal connector. Oddly there are no 4-ins or 4-outs. The edges of strips of pieces follow the wavy theme so that they get thinner and wider and you can't tell if the longest dimension of the piece goes horizontally or vertically. In one direction they have deviously introduced a step in the edges every few pieces to fool you into looking for the wrong piece shape. Nice touches I thought. And there is a step on every row on just the middle join in the other direction, after which the piece shapes repeat.
    However, the pieces do not lock together at all, even to pick up 2 pieces together. Many times pieces fitted perfectly in the wrong place. Time consuming searches through all the other pieces and on the big sorting board under my feet only to find that nothing would fit because a piece was in the wrong place.
    Enjoyed it and liked the vibrant colours. Took me 27.5 hours over 9 days.

    The torn and peeling pieces you found in this puzzles is actually quite rare. I love this brand and have a over 100 of their puzzles and have never had an issue with peeling cardboard. Open up your 2000 piece Sweet Shop puzzle and check on the quality of those pieces.
    This gradient puzzle was also issued in a 300 piece version. And your Sweet Shop puzzle was issued with 300, 1000 or 2000 pieces. I have the 1000 piece version.
    Keep making your videos, I love watching them,❤️
    Thanks to all who are keeping us safe during the stressful time. So grateful to you all!💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

    I’ve done this puzzle many times and I start with the edge then the jagged edge ones that I call them-the diagonal ones-then the pieces with the excessively large knobs and inner knob things

  • @karenmason1731
    @karenmason1731 Před 4 lety

    Have this puzzle. Bought it awhile back on Amazon for about 2$. I worked from the two corners like you did (taking much longer!) then totally stalled out on the red/orange section. Enjoyed it up til then. Yes, it’s very shiny and I had to stand up a lot. Hard on my back. It’s currently on foam core. Guess I better get it back out and finish. Probably have 100 pieces to go. AND A BIG THANKS TO ALL THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS!
