Educa3,000 Piece Puzzle - Manhattan Sunset

I had just completed a Buffalo Games 2000 piece puzzle and was hungry for a new challenge. When I got this puzzle in the mail I was so excited but a little disappointed to discover how grainy the image was. I mean, I knew it wasn't going to be super high resolution since this is a fairly large puzzle, but I am literally lining up light and dark blobs of color to piece this thing together. Also, for a puzzle this size you would think a poster reference would be included. The one that came with the 2000 piece one helped immensely and it would've been nice to have one for this one, especially given the quality of the image. Another thing to note: The pieces are cut in a different kind of way from what I've ever seen before, perhaps I have just never seen an Educa puzzle, but they are all pretty much the SAME SHAPE. Yes, there is variety, but I would say 90% of the pieces look almost identical. I have had to rearrange pieces that I thought were correct (and fit together pretty much perfectly) on multiple occasions. I guess this just adds to the challenge, but it's just one more thing to think about before buying.

Pros:- Lots of fun!- Detailed landscape- Great activity for couplesCons:- Print quality isn't as good as other puzzles I've bought for the same price in the pastOther:Took 58 hours to complete.

I bought this as a gift for my husband, so as of now I am not certain of the overall quality of the puzzle. I do think that the picture is more interesting in person, and I am certain that this will be a challenge for him.

This puzzle is a great gift to myself. The image is really amazing and pieces are good quality. Dimension in meters are 0,8x1,2 and 3000 pieces to stimulate my brain. Really a good product and cheap. Fun and brain excercise for a few bucks. Very recommendable.

I prefer Regenburger's myself. I bought this for my first 3000 piece and for the picture. When taking the pieces apart, I had problems breaking the stuck ones apart. The images on the tabs was hard not to bend off the piece. So, take care when doing this.

The puzzle pieces fit well where they are not supposed to go and are only about two pieces apart. Makes for an interesting puzzle experience. The picture could also be in a higher resolution, the pieces are blotchy, but if you are looking at it from a distance it will look good.

as expected

bought for my gf and looks great when finished

Have not been yet but this gives me a good feeling

Great!

ho impiegato 3 mesi per fare questo puzzle, ma l'effetto finale ne ha fatto di sicuro valere la pena! di primo impatto mi è parso impossibile, ma poi i pezzi sono risultati tutti riconoscibili. vedere questo immenso quadro prendere forma sotto le tue mani è stato indescrivibile. Unico neo: la qualità del cartone. Alcuni punti si scollavano con facilità ed ho dovuto riattaccarli io stessa con la colla, per evitare rotture.

Die Puzzleteile sind in einem Plastiksack in dem Karton. Leider passen viele Puzzleteile auch dort wo sie eigentlich nicht hingehören, bei unterschiedlichen Farben kein Problem, aber bei nur blau, also Himmel ist es furchtbar nervig, wenn 10-15 Puzzleteile an die gleiche Stelle passen und zwar so gut, das es einem überhaupt nicht auffällt. Erst in der nächsten Reihe merkt man das etwas nicht stimmt.

Il Puzzle è di ottima fattura, gli incastri sono molto precisi, i colori sono leggermente diversi da quelli riprodotti sulla scatola forse dovuto al fatto che la scatola ha una traslucenza che riflette parecchio le luci artificiali (ho un lampadario a cinque punti sul soffitto), non mancava nessun pezzo una volta completato. Il quadro ha una splendida resa una volta appeso!
