Hi Janette, please can you do the Ravensburger 1981 ‘little town’ (I think it was called) as we are huge Ravensburger and Schmidt fans😄. Our preference is for you to enjoy your 6000 Schmidt puzzle soooo…….. please can you keep the bags separate , unless others disagree. Warm wishes from Australia. M+C😄😎

You guys were neck and neck!!!! Photo finish for sure!! I think the 6k puzzle will be more fun for two reasons: One, it's a disney puzzle that will be fun to work on with lots of different colors, and two, DO NOT MIX THE BAGS!!!! Keep it enjoyable. Esp after the 5k you are working on now. Love the haul!

Nice puzzles Janette, I like how you split them in sections. Swapped, borrowed, competition, bought. It helps everything transitioned smoothly. I think the word you are looking for is not “ancient” it is “vintage”😉 You are calling me “ancient” since those puzzles are dated 1981 and I was born in 1979 🤣🤣

I vote for mixed bags. Really 6k puzzle.

Wow nice selection but I’m so intrigued by those Ravensburger ones - will be interesting to hear your thoughts on them and how far along you think the quality has come in all these years. Even doing a bit of each of the whole image isn’t to your taste would still be good to get an opinion. I remember getting a jigsaw which I think was from the late 70s or early 80s. Was so excited to do it but I had to stop as it smelt so bad! 😂 I tried different things like scattering the pieces on the floor to air for a bit, windows open, spray the room etc. It was no good though - it was just a really bad, mouldy sort of smell and I just couldn’t sit there for any length of time with it! Could still smell it for a few days after I got rid of it!! 😂

Thank you! 😁 I am interested to see the difference too! 🤩 Oh dear haha 😂 I hope this won't be the case with these puzzles! I think she said that one was still wrapped in foil when she found it in a charity shop and I think she already assembled both and there was no mention of the smell! 😅👌🏻 But I know what you mean! I didn't have a smelly puzzle before, but I had one from a charity shop which had so much dust/hair/pet hair in it, that I was completely put off of it! I had to empty the box on the floor, and then pick the pieces out one by one, because it was just disgusting 😬

I actually don't know if it's better to mix or not the 6k puzzle 😂 but I would be very interested in seeing the comparison of Ravensburger puzzles. Those old ones are really interesting! 😊

Do not mix the bags! No need to make it more difficult than necessary. 😄 I really like the My Little World puzzle so would like to see you do that one. I have an old Ravensburger which I have kept, that is green backed. It is a promo one for VAX hoovers probably made in 1977 or 1978. The image is a comical one which is why I bought it. Lots of lovely puzzles as usual, you always have an interesting selection to show us. Will look forward to hearing about the online competition that is still to come.

I would prefer to see you mix the bags for the 6K puzzle, then you will truly be doing a 6K puzzle, not two 3K puzzles. I agree with you that there is enough distinction between the left and right halves that you shouldn’t have any false fits. Many different colors and textures, so sorting quickly should not be a problem for an expert like you! 😅

Keep them separate! Enjoy the puzzle!

I get some vintage Ravensbuger from thrifts and find the quality is the same but the fit is looser. But i live in the desert so maybe they shrink a bit in the aridity. I am curious how you find them! My Little World would be my choice ✌

Hi Janette, so happy about your choice for the 6k image. Just about a month ago I finished the Schmidt Lion King 6k puzzle and really enjoyed it. At first I was a little shocked about the size of the pieces, but in the end I loved them because you can work on sections with much less need to move around a giant puzzle. I did it in two sections and yes, they are split in the middle. Just be aware that there are several „cutting lines“ within the puzzle, so the pieces fit perfectly, but they are offset quite notably. Greetings from Germany!

If I were doing it I would mix it, otherwise it's just like doing two 3K puzzles, which really isn't the same challenga as doing a 6K, but since doing a 6K is the whole point I would feel it should be mixed. However, I would say do it whichever way will leave you feeling most satisfied.
