    A color gradient over the image is really useful for a Star Wars puzzle. And it looks pretty, too. Love the Leia buns 😄💚💙🧩

    Awesome, awesome🤣, funny ending, LOVED it. You, Gracie, everything...I had to repeat that!!! Like you say, BRILL! Buffalo has typical gloss finish (bummer), but their pieces are satisfyingly thick with the typical wavy pieces. It's a very common brand in the US.

    Ha ha! Thanks Betty 😆 I’m glad you loved the bloopers and the humour - I had such fun making this video - I just hope people watch until the end so they don’t miss the bloopers! I can live with the gloss, I just prefer matte, but as you say, I do love the thick, sturdy pieces and the funky shapes just made it more interesting. I guess once I do a few more I’ll be more used to it. Sounds like they are consistent across the board. 😍

    I've done a few Buffalo Games puzzles and I love their quality. The only thing I dislike is taking them apart, you need to be very gentle when doing so. I've never done a Star Wars puzzle in my life.

  • @Vickymakesandbuilds

    Yes, I’d heard that about them, they hold together so well that they can get damaged when you try to take them apart - apparently putting a piece in the wrong place can be fatal with Buffalo puzzles. Oddly enough, though I love Star Wars, prior to this one, I’ve only done smaller, kids Star Wars puzzles that my kids got as gifts. I’m hungry for more now though!! 😍

    Thank you! I’m glad you did - it was fun to do for Star Wars day, and I have always been a fan. Nice to know non fans can enjoy the video as well though ❤️ This one was satisfying in the sense that it went top down, then bottom up and then sort of met in the middle - makes for a nice time lapse 😍

    Thank you for another fun video! 💜Love the hair!😂 I've not done a Buffalo puzzle yet. They are not as easy to come by here in Austria than other brands. I too prefer a matt finish over a glossy one. It was lovely to see Grace again, I've missed him! 😻

    Thank you Andrea! That’s a shame they are hard to get hold of. Not very common here either truth be told! I might have to bring some back with me when I visit the States later this year 😍 I can live with the gloss if the puzzle is good overall - that is the case with Buffalo, but I just prefer matte to work with. 😊 I thought I’d better give him another wee cameo, he spends so little time in the puzzle room now 😩 I just had that brainwave with the wookie bit, but it took a while to catch him on video yawning 🥱 managed it in the end though 😆 xx

    Hi Vicky! Great Puzzle!! So beautiful and funny comments all the way😂!!. I'm new in this area and loving every minute of it, so i'm starting to practice with 500 pieces and hopefully work my way up and build larger puzzles eventually. I'll watch all of your videos to learn and enjoy the content! You have a new subscriber here ❤. Happy puzzling from Chile 🇨🇱.

    Hi! Thank you so much for subscribing - I’m so glad you are enjoying my content! 😍 Building your way up the sizes is a great way to get there - it is slightly less overwhelming that way! If you want to do giant puzzles my Disney Orchestra videos are helpful as that was my first experience with them, so I share my learning along the way. Also I have done a video on doing large puzzles in limited space, that might not be an issue for you, but many have also found that one useful. Main thing is to have fun 🤩 Happy puzzling from the UK ❤️

    I love Star Wars and this puzzle was very nice. And will have to find some Buffalo puzzles around here to try them out. Your outtakes very funny 😁And also as I was watching the video when you were looking at the pieces I had to smile when I just watched on the pieces and saw a piece with 4 INS and in the same moment you just said that you do not see any of those 😀 It was just underneath your left hand😅 Anyway, great video!🙂

    Loved this. Congratulations on the execution of your Leia buns. I have tried them and it is not easy to get them to not be wonky. I also celebrated the day with a star wars puzzle or 4. . I did the 4 pack that has 3 x 300 piece puzzles and 1 x 500:piece. So much fun!

    Ha ha! Thank you, they were pretty easy to put in, but as you say, getting them level is not so straightforward! They were so impractical though - I kept bashing them off things! 😆 How Princess Leia went gallivanting around the galaxy being a rebel with them in, I do not know! Maybe she knocked out a few storm troopers with them! 🤣 I did a 4 pack set of Ravensburger Star Wars puzzles a few years ago too. They were a gift for my son, but he wasn’t interested so I did them instead! 😍

    I love Star Wars puzzles. I am not a Buffalo fan, so I generally stay to the Ravensburger ones. I did love the Buffalo Christmas one with Darth Vader at the piano. But my favourite more traditional Star Wars puzzle so far is the X-Wing Cockpit - that one was incredible to do. I am currently working on the shaped Darth Vader from Ravensburger to make up for missing my usual May 4th puzzle because of the puzzle competition last weekend in Canada.

    Ha ha! Darth Vader at the piano! Lol, not seen that one, but it sounds fun 😍 I’ve seen the progress pics of your shaped Darth Vader, it looks fun too 🤩 I was in Donnalouise’s livestream last night, it sounds like you had a blast at the Canadian Nationals. I’d love to make it over one day. My maternal grandmother was Canadian, so I’ve got some roots there, just never been. Xx

    @Vickymakesandbuilds then you should definitely try to come!! Maybe time it for the competition. Russ hinted they are going to move it to last weekend of May, and keep it there every year. What part of Canada did she live?? I want to visit UK at some point for a longer visit.

    Considering that Jeanette and her puzzles recently did her first Lego, I wonder if you will be doing a Lego Star Wars sett on your channel? Like the big Millennium Falcon.

    I actually started off my channel with a couple of Lego vids - they were Harry Potter sets. I have since removed them as my channel is now a puzzle channel, but I’m not against the idea of doing more Lego. The Star Wars Lego I would LOVE to have a go at, however, the Millennium Falcon, AT-AT Walker, Star Destroyer and the like are extremely pricey. Might need to save my pennies first 😊
