Soccer - Jan Van Haasteren by Ceaco 550 pieces

-

 


Brand:  Caeco

Title:  Soccer

Artist:  Jan Van Haasteren

Pieces: 550

Size:  18" x 24"

Poster:  No

What I liked:  A fun image and a good quality puzzle.

What I didn't like:  I spent a lot of time searching for where individual pieces went, which was difficult because the image on the box is small so I had to use a magnifying glass.  

I thought there was a missing piece, but I found it under a couch cushion.  It managed to fall into a crack and then migrate about 6" to the underneath the middle of the cushion.  

I no longer sort through pieces while sitting on the couch.  While I was searching for this piece, I also found the piece I thought was missing from the first Dowdle puzzle.

The fit is very loose, and you cannot generally move segments of pieces without them falling apart.  I did not notice any false fits, but that is typical for a...

Sunset in Venice - Big Ben (Milton Bradley) 1000 pieces (#61)

  This was our first Big Ben puzzle and probably will be the last.  It's a nice image, but the quality is not very good.  We found this at Goodwill.  This was our first Goodwill puzzle with a missing piece in a while.  We took over a week to finish this because it was difficult to get into working on it as I did not enjoy the thin pieces.  The fit was poor also.
