Very helpful to see the array of puzzles available to you! I am totally envious of the choices you have! Here in NZ, we are a long way from Europe and the US, so it’s very hard to get a lot of these brands, the cost of postage on top of the puzzles makes them unaffordable. I have been able to get 2 Art & Fable, and one Jacarou, but have no Magnolia or Yazz (desperately want to try a Yazz one!) Affordable/available brands in NZ are Holdsons, Clementoni, Trefl, Pomegranate, Cobble Hill and Ravensburger. I recently acquired a Castorland puzzle, second hand, but was underwhelmed by the quality…must be turning into a puzzle snob! Anyway, have subscribed, and looking forward to your future puzzling adventures! 👍🦋🌈❤️

hi shannon. i have done quite a few king puzzles. the ones i have done are in 2 different boxes,not including your ones. the first came in a small cheap square box i bought them in the 90s. the pieces were really thin but the printing was ok, they were comical puzzles of places like barcelona. the 2nd one is a disney one that i have recently completed and the whole quality of the box and pieces is like a different story. nice sturdy box and nice pieces. i have not seen your king puzzle type before. this is very interesting. happy puzzling from across the pond, on the south east coast of england.

I am all about the image -- more so than the brand, but love high quality puzzles too. I like Eurographics and a few Master Pieces puzzles have been good too. Like Ravensburger as well as Clementoni.

Shannon, scientists say that a small amount of pleasurable dopamine is released into our brains every time we successfully place a jigsaw piece into a puzzle. I mean this in the best way possible, but I think you not only experience that in placing a piece but also when you find and buy each puzzle !! It is an addiction. I loved seeing your huge puzzle haul. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am particularly drawn to Catinsky by Yazz. Please remind me whether this is standard grid or random cut. Price is slightly high but I am relying on your opinion of the high quality of this brand. By the way, I love the framed dressed cat on the wall behind you. Tell us about that kitty sometime. Happy puzzling !

Hi Marianne! Yes, I have tried the Art & Fable velvet touch puzzles. If you watch my latest video "Puzzle Off: Pomegranate vs Art & Fable", I talk about the velvet touch feel. For me, it took a little getting used to. The pieces do not slide easily because of the velvet touch. It does feel luxurious and I got used to it. I really like the brand. Very high quality. Not cheap though so you have to decide if you want to spend that much ($30.95) on a puzzle. I only purchase when the puzzles are on sale. Thanks for your comments! :0)

My goodness me, you certainly went overboard with that haul. I dread to think how much all that lot cost! I noticed that most of the jigsaws that still had the shrink wrap on were reflecting what was in front of you. That was rather distracting. Plenty of variety in the images. I have done some King puzzles in the past, ten years ago maybe, but I wasn't impressed with the quality. I shall be interested to see what you think about the King puzzles. You are very fortunate to have access to such a large number of brands. When you think about it, puzzles have come a long way in terms of quality and images compared to ones from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Look forward to your next video.
