It was a very stimulating puzzle. It took me 4 weeks when I can do a 1000 piece in a week. I got it for a gift. But there is 42 pieces missing. There is no way I loss that many. I was going to mount it,oh well. 2025-02-09 Update to review Update... I found a tray with the missing pieces!! Was so challenging to do. I had to have a lot of patience

Considered calling the Bit and Pieces customer service line to replace the missing pieces. I know I bought it second hand, but I’m kind of curious what the process is. In my research, I found this gem of a review regarding 42 missing pieces:

Some of the coolest piece shapes I have ever seen, including this center piece. Unfortunately one of the three missing was a crucial part of the inner circle 😞. Surely this is what Ada R Habershon was talking about when she wrote “Will the Circle Be Unbroken?” in 1907.

Man this was a great puzzle, wish it had all the pieces. Took the risk buying this from the library sale and ended up a few short. I know there’s a cat lying on the puzzle pretty often but I do not think she’s responsible.

S/O to St. Paul residents @nailed.bsky.social for this puzzle and the legendary Proctor and Gamble puzzle. PnG remains in my car to be passed along to a friend. Minifig puzzle donated to the quarter store in Fordland MO along with Scarface and the Space Shuttle.

Smallest puzzle I have done in a long time. A nice balm after the tumultuous lion puzzle. There’s six puzzles you can get and while I wanted the hotdog man, I am very happy with lego brick lady.

Almost forgot to rate this very bad puzzle:

10 out of 10 puzzle pieces 🧩

This one does hold a special place in my heart, as it was the puzzle on the table when my darling Cookie entered the scene. She loves to lay on puzzles and help sort the pieces (pick them up with her mouth)

Glued for posterity and headed to my Dad, to hang and be admired by a true animal lover.

3) thin, cheap, poor fitting pieces.

Just look at that surface. 10 puzzles in on box is too good to be true. You’re gonna get ten bad puzzles.

Almost gave up on this one but I’m glad I pushed through. After this, I know the others in the box will be very challenging but I will conquer them too.

This was the hardest puzzle of the year so far for many reasons:

1) It’s a photo. Photos are already much harder than most illustrations. Indv. pieces (especially in the dimly lit areas) appear blue and gray.

2) no piece variation. Out of 750, about 730 were the standard 🧩 symmetrical pieces.

Puzzle 9: Lion Photo

That’s Puzzling! Deluxe 10 Puzzle Pack (Lion) 2004

750 pc

Was lured in at the thrift store by a 6000 pc puzzle pack (10 puzzles w/ 500, 750 & 1000 pcs) of animal photos. Grabbed one at random (only to later find the backs of each puzzle had a distinct pattern with a legend)⬇️

VERTICALVILLE There's a town west of someplace and south of some other. That isn't like anyplace else anywhere. It didn't grow outward like all other cities: It rose like a mountain straight up in the air. The blocks of most towns lie beside one another. And to get "there" from "here" you just go across town. But this is a place where the blocks stack like pancakes, Where uptown is up. and where downtown is down! It has its own railroad that spirals up through it, A Penny Arcade where the kids test their skill, A bank for high finance, a pool for high diving. They're tops with the people in Verticalville. The mayor, Mr. Height's, running for re-election, On a platform that calls for more vertical blocks, Continued high spirits and low unemployment, And a new baseball park for the Vertical Sox! There's a plane flying round saying. "Don't eat at Joe's." Which was rented, of course, by the owner of Bill's. And Bruce the Balloonist is ready to lift off To give all the people some vertical thrills. If you come to this town, you don't need a compass; It takes an altimeter to fill the bill, But spirits are high and the living is lofty. The folks live it up, up in Verticalville. springbok © 1977 Hallmark Cards, Inc., K.C.. Mo. 64141 Made in U.S.A.

From the back of the box:

More interesting than the missing piece are the extra ones. Occasionally you will find an extra, duplicate piece and sometimes (like with verticalville) you will find a piece to another puzzle entirely. Pictured to the left of a verticalville piece. Now in my collection of other misplaced pieces.

Post Scarface, I am marking the boxes with the missing piece count AND marking on the box art where the pieces are missing. My hope is that if someone decides to take a chance on a puzzle with missing pieces, they will at least have a visual guide of spots where those pieces. “Piece missing here”

Got this from the same folks that game me the woodland creatures puzzle. Thankfully this was only missing one piece (albeit an edge piece.) Great weird shapes, fun illustration. Incredible puzzle. Finished in an evening. 10 out of 10 puzzle pieces

Not sure what the story is on this puzzle. I did the Pink Floyd one 20 years ago, the other two are sealed and my brother claimed he’d never done any of them. It was not in a bag, but also not in chunks indicating it had been done. Also one piece is all fucked up and bloated like it sat in water 🤷🧩💧

My brother gave me all of his puzzles. He got them in his teens and early 20s, which make sense because they are of Scarface, Pink Floyd, John Lennon and The Big Lebowski. Love the freaky shapes of the pieces on this one. 10 out of 10 puzzle pieces.
