I think you should do the maze puzzle but after every minute you put an edge piece back in the pile with the other pieces.

greetings, my best wishs to you, thank for the nice minutes to spend with your videos, springbok

I'm honored that a subset of your puzzle collection was named for me! I vote for Prismagic first. The maze is extremely hard so give yourself a break when you do it and use all of the pieces in the edge bag. I also like the computer and the Dali from Springbok. There is also another Puzzle Plus puzzle with dogs that you can color. It's called Arf for Arfs Sake. I used to have it, but gave it away. If you enjoy the cat one, you might want to try to find that one too. Thanks to everyone who commented about my puzzle collection. I've been collecting them for well over 50 years.

The Prismagic Puzzle is just Art. It’s like a gigantic snap band.

Just clarify. Jan didn’t gift them to Karen. At 1:43 Karen wrote that she paid for the puzzles from Jan. - Fantastic collection! 🧩

Karen : "Which puzzles do you want to see me do ? :)" Me : "Yes."

I really love the packaging! The Spilt Milk one and the round ones are on the top of my "want to see" list, but really it's so hard to choose they all look so neat. Have a wonderful week Karen!! Happy puzzling! 🖤🧩✨

my grandfather used to work for Hallmark in Kanas City, which owned Springbok puzzles, and my grandparents have a closet full of them!!

Your editing is flawless which makes your videos even more addictive

the computer language and whirling discs puzzles look like the most fun, to me; not as brain bendingly difficult as the solid colours, but still tough! I have a 500 pc colouring puzzle next in line for me! not from springbok, probably from 2007 or smth, and a mandala, not cute kitties- i will probably colour in the puzzle just bc that seems fun to me.

It would be interesting to reference the computer languages and how they evolved.

The Prismagic puzzle reminded me of the color changing puzzle you did about a year. Shoutout to Jan for the amazing puzzles. Springbok

Oh my God I haven’t even watch this all the way through… Quick pause to tell you… All I know is I need to own that milk jug puzzle! I love these kind of puzzles lol. I have a couple of them including a Chinese takeout box from springbok! And the puzzle turns into a plate of Chinese food! Love it

That Moment When you realise that a Jigsaw Puzzle and you are the same age. That’s quite interesting.

I am intrigued by the SPRINGBOK round puzzles, especially the Computer one! I'm also really glad that these are vintage and my husband can't easily find them for me because some look super hard!! Thanks for sharing!

I love that Dalí did a Springbok puzzle. I know he was known to shill for pretty much any company who would pay him in money, but it actually looks like they ended up with a really cool image. Other than that one, I'd love to see how you go about the maze puzzle, and the Prismagic puzzle looks beautiful! My Dad would really love the computer language puzzle, I'll have to remember to show him your video when you get around to that one - he started his IT career as a computer operator for a bank back when computers took up entire floors of buildings (about the same vintage as that puzzle!)

My choices exactly, with the computer one in there at number 4, springbok or not. Ps. Interesting tidbit about your dad

There is a Holo puzzle? Cristine might find it amusing. :-) As to the video: The milk puzzle caught my eye immediately!

I want to see the computer language puzzle done and maybe do an outing to the Computer History Museum in LA!

Springbok had miniature round puzzles that I loved doing as a kid in the 70’s. They had great psychedelic designs.

Great collection of vintage puzzles from SPRINGBOK and others. It sounds like Jan is an expert puzzler. If she lives nearby she’d be a fun guest for your channel.

So happy you’ve got into Springboks, it’s been my mom’s favourite brand for decades and she’s passed it on to me 🤗

What I would like to see, in order: - you hosting a puzzle party! - the triangle labyrinth - the cat drawings

I did the color cat puzzle and colored it and framed it when I was younger.

6:10 - Those 'wavy' pieces are a real throwback. I remember then in the late 50s and early 60s when I started doing puzzles at 5 years of age.

Okay. I’m only 7 minutes in and I already want to see all of the puzzles you’ve shown! Definitely want to see the Prismagic one and a video for the two solid color puzzles! You’re gonna be marathoning puzzles again! 😂 I’m so ready for an entire series based off the Jan Collection alone.

Updated comment: I’m super excited to see Computer Talk and the Omni puzzle. However, I feel like the Omni pUzzle would also be VERY FITTING for Chris Ramsay. That is right up his alley. I’m obsessed with this whole collection though! Such great finds!

Karen, you are a glutton for self-punishment! 😂 I would love to see you do the maze one. …or the purple one. My husband did that one about 15 years ago and it just about wrecked him! We still have it! It’s still legendary in our family history!

Springbok! With regards to the red-striped maze puzzle, I think you need to mix all the pieces back together again. I mean, are you just Karen who does puzzles or are you m'fing KAREN PUZZLES!!!??? You can do it!

The Dalí and the labyrinth ones looks soo interesting!

Retro Futurism is my favourite aesthetic. 2000s Futurism was so amusing because literally 0.1% of predictions came true 😂

The old Quantum Leap show did an episode where they were in a 60's sci-fi show that was in a futuristic 1986... it was great! And of course Back to the Future 2!

I loved the split milk one! The packaging is so cute 🥰

It's really hard to choose a "want to see" I think I'd like to see a video for each of the Jan puzzles. But as a fellow vintage "Springbok" puzzle lover, I guess I'd want to see those first. The computer language one and the whirls of colors look like they would be the most fun.

I think the Buffalo Games puzzle with the buffalo games is super cute 😍 I also like the solid colour ones and the holo one 🤩

Imagine trying to make coherent AND meaningful acrostic poems on the Springbok boardgame. I'll be there for so long.

Jan is a bloody legend! I haven’t finished watching yet but the maze would be such a challenge. You are up to it Karen! Love your work xxx

Springbok! That Prismagic Puzzle looks really fun! I’d love to see that one next. That maze puzzle also looks really interesting!!

These are wonderful Puzzles from Springbox et al. I think the maze and prismagic puzzle would look great on video from afar, while challenging to build. As a boardgame collector myself, I’m happy publishers start making boxes smaller, making it easier to collect them. This seems challenging to store these massive 500 pc boxes.

I'm constantly rearranging to make space for all of my new puzzles!

I loved doing the "Springbok" puzzles over the years. The Prismagic puzzle really caught my eye for you to do. I really enjoy your videos, Karen:)

Well, I own some of these. 1- leprechaun, it's hard enough I've only worked it once 2- red menace 3- Springbok marbles I've worked puzzles my whole life and do them more over and over. I'm gonna be doing the Springbok crayons next. I'm sure you'd be interested in some of my oldies, but not selling. Have fun Karen! Stay safe, Vickie

My grandma did the Prismagic one when I was a kid. The relatives were always buying her the hardest looking puzzles. I did a golf themed 'Worlds Most Difficult Puzzle' she had in her collection and I remember enjoying that one.

The triangle shaped one will be very interesting. But every one of them looks awesome! Looking forward to watching all of them ❤️❤️❤️

so interesting!! i love the modern, minimalistic-looking puzzles, but there's just something very special about slowly hunting for older pieces :D i'm outside the us, so i never encountered them before!

I’d love to see you get older vintage puzzles. I’ve bought plenty of vintage ones on EBay and I’m talking about before the interlocking pieces! They are my favorite ones of all puzzles! But as for the one for you to do in a video is the hexagon one!

I just bought the Springbok Marbles puzzle last month! It was a childhood favorite and you inspired me to find it so I could do it with my daughter someday. My sister and I did it last weekend on her first visit since Covid and it brought back lots of wonderful memories. ❤

I vote for the Prismatic and the Maze puzzles first. They look the coolest.

I would love to see the maze puzzle completed 😊 those triangular pieces are so interesting!

The Prismatic one definitely needs to be near the top and the big cube box (forgot what it was called 😂) Springbok for the win! That was an outstanding haul! I definitely need to dig out my puzzles 🧩 just have to wait a few more weeks 😭 having surgery on my shoulder. Kinda hard to do puzzles when you’re dominant arm is out of service and you’re stuck in bed 😢 At least I can binge watch you doing puzzles in the meantime 👍

These are amazing! I wouldn't know where to start... but I am glad these puzzles have found a new home with you! 🧩🧩🧩🧡🧡🧡

Your channel reminded me how much I love jigsaw puzzle. I stopped doing them because of school four years ago. I just finnished it, so I have time to take some of my old puzzle out of the boxes. Thank you for reminding me about it

OMG! I have a 1967 circular Springbok puzzle, still in the shrink wrap. It’s a painting by Sam Savitt called Rodeo. It was gifted to me back in the day because I was into horses. Didn’t do puzzles back then and I found it cleaning out my mother’s house. Still haven’t done it….

Jan, I have ALL those books, plus an instructional book on drawing horses. He is one of the finest equine artists ever. He did at least three puzzle paintings for Springbok. Mares and Foals, Rodeo and International Jumping horses. You can google Sam Savitt Springbok for images.

i like the laberintus puzzle the most and i like your videos

My mother did one of the double-sided "World's Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzles" when I was young. It was a bunch of cats. When she was about halfway through, our real cats were running through the house, ran across the puzzle, and slid off the table with it. At first she was mad and put it away, but within a few hours she took it back out and started again. They are tough but she got it done!

I’m the same age as you and my favorite childhood puzzles were the Dr. Seuss ones. There was always so much going on in the background, it was really fun to look and discover what various characters were doing while you were solving.

It's a great collection of vintage puzzles, looking forward to the videos of all of them, especially the SPRINGBOK ones :) The spilt milk one is soo adorable.

Start with the Jan Collection!! They're all so beautiful!! ❤️

Springbok, it would be hard to pick one to do first as they are all so interesting. I collect vintage Springboks as well. The one that stands out to me is the Prismagic, it's amazing and so beautiful. Happy Puzzling!

Which ones am I most excited to see Karen put together in a video? Edna Andrade and Yellow Flash - yes, that caught my eye! All the Springbok-y things are beautiful and interesting from the POV of a fan but this one is especially stylish and chic. Glad to see Karen do all - with Yellow Flash on top of the list!

These are all so amazing, especially the Omni Jigsaw, the Spilt Milk, the Colouring Puzzle, and the Maze. The weird shapes are super intriguing and it's really cool that the Dali one was a commission for the company!

I love that triangular piece shape, so cool. I’m looking forward to every single puzzle, they’re awesome. The Dali one I find so exciting since I’m a huge fan of his art.

I love the Sprinbok Computer Talk and Dali puzzles, I can't wait to see videos for those! The Puzzle Plus with the cats is also super neat. Those three stood out to me the most!

Excited for prismatic and spilt milk. Oh and Springbok!!

I would totally lose my mind with the Prismatic puzzle - looking forward to you doing that one!!!

I’m 55 and I remember our family had the Whirling Disks and the Jackson Pollock. The Jackson Pollock was VERY difficult.

Whirling Discs, Flat Banana, and Yellow Flash were puzzles my Mom had when I was growing up. I think I did them before I was 10 years old.

I enjoyed this Springbok video with all of the different types of puzzles. Nice work, Karen!

What a cool collection of interesting puzzles. Thank you for digging them up. I would love more puzzle history bits you come across. I find that all super interesting!

The maze puzzle caught my eye, I'll be looking forward for you to do that one!! Now your SPRINGBOK collection is growing so fast!

Yayyy!!🥳 I love vintage! Even more vintage puzzles!🌻💛

Oooohhhh I think I spied recipes in the yellow flash puzzle. Would love to see you film making the recipes and decorating for the party ☺️

I LOVE these videos! Thank you for sharing and I'm super excited to see more vintage puzzlin'!

17:40 - I remember checking "Double Image" out of the library in 1966. It's the first I'd read of Dali!

I was a fan of your diy channel way back and had been watching your puzzle channel since it has been released! Never been a fan of puzzling, but the way you talk about puzzles and how much passion you have on it somehow rubs off on me. I'd been interested ever since and would love to give a try on puzzles someday! And with the puzzle haul, I'd love to see the labyrinth and omni jigsaw puzzles!

The Omni box definitely has my vote just for originality alone.

The spilt milk puzzle looks like fun! I'd love to see that one above the others but, let's be honest, we want to see all of them eventually lol

That Prismagic puzzle is just mesmerizing to look at really. I always enjoy round puzzles and solid colored puzzles so I will definitely like the red one.

So interesting to see all the different types of puzzles. Never considered them to be that varied. The SPRINGBOK ones are especially awesome.

I feel like you could make an entire series with the number of vintage Springbok puzzles you’ve collected. I know I’d love some videos that are just “Karen’s Calming Puzzle Time” where you just put a puzzle together in real time, or, at least close to it.

All of these are super cool, but the maze one with the triangles is fascinating! Springbok and co really tried some weird things. I only ever see jigsaw puzzles in the toy store, and they’re always cartoon characters or nature scenes, but this! This is some adventurous stuff!

I‘m in love with the „Color me purrrfect“ puzzle ❤️

Definitely want to see one (or all) of the circular springbok puzzles! Those are so cool!

In the beginning, you kept showing more and more interesting puzzles! I think the holographic one is AMAZING. I would love to watch you solve the maze and also the ones from Buffalo games, they look super difficult. Also, the colourful circular puzzles from SPRINGBOK would be cool to watch. I think I loved every puzzle you showed!

Fabulous new additions to your collection! The Springbok Dali caught my eye. Happy puzzling :-)

I'm down for the computer talk puzzle and Salvador Dali puzzle. A lot of these are definitely interesting!

I love Vintage. I love Jigsaw Puzzles. I AM HERE FOR THIS.

Always love your content! Looking forward to you doing the round springbok puzzles

I've never done a Springbok, but it's a real blast from the past to see the World's Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzles from Buffalo Games. Every Christmas, my family did the Skiing edition. It would be out on a table during the Christmas vacation, and everyone in the family would work on it periodically over the whole time. I ended up buying my own copy on ebay a couple of years ago.

Wow how nice of Jan to gift you the puzzles! Props to them

Great puzzles to add too your collection and a Summer of fun putting them together. The Omni jigsaw seems really fun but I enjoy watching you do any puzzle as your enthusiasm and knowledge is fun to watch. Happy 4th of July

OMG please do all! Especially Jan's puzzles, most of all I was intrigued by the triangular maze, world's most difficult and the holo. Please try to film the holo like Cristine with a moving flashlight. And congrats on getting the coveted *Springbok* puzzles!

I'd never heard of Springbok puzzles before watching your channel, but now I'm really fascinated by some of the innovative things they've done, going back many years (that Little Red Riding Hood puzzle is nearly as old as me!) Most of the puzzles in this video I wouldn't even attempt! However, I love marbles and would happily do that one. And Dali is my favourite artist, so I am very envious of you having that one! Looking forward to seeing some of these completed in future videos 😊

I recently bought a still factory sealed glow in the dark skyline of New York puzzle at the local thrift shop. Even better, bought it on senior day for 30% off- so I paid $2.60 for it. Had I not been walking past and caught the shrink wrap out of the corner of my eye, I would have never stopped to look at PUZZLES in a thrift shop. Since then, I look each time I’m in. There are some INCREDIBLE looking puzzles there, but I’m just such a chicken to buy a used puzzle. I should really get over it-puzzles can be pretty spendy sometimes.

I usually get most of my puzzles from thrift stores. The only problem I’ve run into is cat hair 😆🐈 otherwise they appear to be in great condition. I think most puzzlers respect their puzzles and try to keep them pristine cats on the hand not so much.

I am looking forward to every single video about this collection!

Ohh, I want to see you puzzle the maze! I love the triangular pieces!

How amazing!!! I think my votes go to the circular springbok puzzles-- computer talk and Salvador Dali especially!!! Kudos to Jan's Collection!!!

My grandparents had the marbles puzzle at their house. I think it’s from the 80s because that’s when they had kids at home. It was the first “adult” puzzle I ever did when I was around 10 year old. I remember it being so hard! It would be interesting to see the difficulty level now as an adult

im so looking forward to theholographic puzzle from springbok (: besides that i think im really excited for the circular one with stripes! i really like how the cardboard on it is red i think thats so fun

Really enjoyed this video, not feeling the best today so this was relaxing. I really like the Labyrintus from the Jan Collection. Springbok.

The Prismagic, maze and Omni puzzle look the most interesting to me. Can't wait to see those!

All these puzzles look amazing! I finally bought myself my first Cloudberries Puzzles (Skyline), since you are such a huge fan of them, I am super excited:)

Your passion for puzzling is inspiring ✨
