    I've never seen a Werkshoppe puzzle in a box before (they normally come in tubes), so that's interesting! But quite an awesome haul overall; I highly doubt you'll be disappointed with any these!

      If I remember what Lance told me, the WerkShoppe in boxes is maybe specific for the Australian and New Zealand market - but don’t quote me on that. But I remember something specific about it being in boxes.

    Some lovely puzzles there which you will no doubt enjoy doing. 😃 I have done one Art & Fable jigsaw called Along the River by Mandy Budan. I've done a few Castorland and found them to be decent jigsaws. Some of these brands can be too expensive to justify buying them. Can't always afford to buy everything that I would like. Enjoyed myself doing the Ravensburger Student Days puzzle earlier today and got it done in 2 hrs 16 mins and 21 secs. I thought that was quite good for me considering it is a busy puzzle. Look forward to your next video.

    I am super interested in Castorland. My understand is that the pieces are smaller than normal. In other words, I could get a larger piece count that would still fit on my puzzle table.

    • @fortheloveofpuzzles
      @fortheloveofpuzzles  2 місяці тому +1

      Someone else commented that the pieces are smaller so I will look for that. It does help when wanting to do larger piece count puzzles as long as the pieces aren’t too small.

    • @fortheloveofpuzzles

      Advice…believe it or not, try the full flip method instead of sorting. I know! I know! switch it up and see how that goes. work on an easy puzzle as well. Just full flip and pull out only the edge pieces. Try to do the border first but if you get stuck, quickly move on to what pieces (colours/textures) that stand out to you first. Give it a go and let me know how you do. 💜🧩

    Great puzzle haul. Such a variaty of puzzles. Me personally I have done a few Castorland puzzles by now and I have to say they are growing on me. At first I was very unhappy with the quality (I was doing mostly Ravensburger and Clementoni) but since I have done much more puzzle brands now, I have to say they are not that bad as I firsly thought 😅 However I think the Santorini puzzle will be quite difficult, based on the picture
