I can’t believe this comes in a wooden crate with wheels!!!!! Can’t wait to see it come together! 🌺🌺
Jigsaw puzzles are getting bigger each year. In the not too distant, Vicky will take the cam into the garden to show us a shipping container...'it's arrived!' I'm looking forward to seeing that jigsaw ;)
I know right! It almost seems a bit overkill doesn’t it - I mean, there are larger puzzles out there that just come in plain old cardboard boxes 😆 It is a nice touch though, I do like the box 😍
🤣🤣🤣 that made me chuckle! You are right though - I can just see it now, me filming as it is slowly lowered in by crane! 😆
Love this!
Woohoo! Thank you - i’m four sections into this one now, and soon to start a fifth! 😍
Can’t wait to go on this journey with you
Thank you! I can’t wait to share it with you 😍
I am IMPRESSED! I struggle with a 1000 puzzle for days and you are going to do this moster :O I love your videos, ther are very relaxing. Keep us updated on this huge puzzle. Greetings from Poland! And... I love your cat
😃 Greetings to you from the UK as well! Thank you so much for watching and I’m really glad you enjoy my videos 😍 I will, of course, keep you posted on all things Wildlife! Hope to get the first video done or started at least by the end of June 😊 lol - the cat’s popularity is growing definitely 😻
🧡💛🧡💛🧡
33 600 pieces!!!😱
😃😃😍😍
I’m so glad you got this puzzle! I look forward to the videos of it being built!
Thank you so much 😃
I'm super excited to see you put this puzzle together!!!!!!
Thank you 😃 I am looking forward to doing it too, hopefully it will be good fun 😍
Happy Mother’s Day to you!!!! Can’t wait to see you do this puzzle.
Thank you very much! I am looking forward to sharing the first video with you 😍
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, can't wait to watch you build it :)
Thank you so much! 😍 I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩😍
I am sooo excited...almost like I purchased this puzzle with you, LOL! You have shown the world that a 33K-piece+ puzzle CAN be done in a small space, of course, needing not to mix more than 2 bags if you don't want to switch a lot of poster boards that is!
Happy for you...and us viewers!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Yes, true, I have to adapt, but it definitely can be done! 😃 I’m so glad that you are excited, I can’t wait to share it with you. Thank you for the good wishes, and of course, for watching 🥰
I’m so excited to watch you do this! Congrats from Texas!!
Thank you so much! 😍
Something to be aware of if you plan to mix bags. Unless it has changed in the latest release, each section is made of 4 repeating cuts which means that for every location in a section there are 4 pieces that will fit perfectly in terms of shape. So, if you mix 2 bags you will end up with 8 identically shaped pieces for each location. Usually the image is different enough that you can tell whether or not the piece is correct but by mixing bags this may become a little more difficult. Whatever you decide to do, I think this will be quite an achievement. Cheers!
Hiya! Yes, I have heard that as well. As far as I know, I don’t think the cut has changed. Hopefully I can differentiate using the image, but I’ll see. It occurs to me that I don’t necessarily have to mix the bags up. That was really to facilitate not having to do 10 videos, but maybe 6 instead, but there’s no reason that I can’t just do one section after another in the same video I suppose. Not sure yet, I might still mix a couple. Anyway, thank you for the info, and for watching the video 😃
Hi Vicky
I just bought this one. I bought the 24000 piece Life one at the same time and have sorted the first bag of that and will do that puzzle first. Tonight I thought I would open the crate and check out the bags. I'm so glad I saw your video of unboxing and know that the numbering system is....well...bad. To add to my confusion, I have one bag that is not stamped at all. Luckily, the missing number sits between two of the mid range numbers, so at least I can assign a number to it. It does seem as though the second highest number is actually panel 1. I will need to have a better look at the bags in the daylight to figure out their positions in the puzzle. Thanks for your detailed explanations though as they do greatly help.
Thank you for watching! Life is such a gorgeous puzzle - I hope you enjoy it. Yes, I felt compelled to explain the numbering because it was just so darn confusing. I’m really glad it has helped you as that was my intention! 😍
This is also a dream puzzle of mine and I'm just marveled at how beautiful it is!! I can't imagine myself actually attempting to complete such a monster of a puzzle but I do love seeing others complete big puzzles :D
IYou’re right, it is beautiful - I can’t believe how many animals are packed into it! I especially like the colourful parrots. I hope you enjoy the videos to come and that perhaps they give you some inspiration to have a go at it! 😍
@@Vickymakesandbuilds Thank you! Yes I really love the parrots as well ☺️ and it just might 👀 I do love my puzzles. I’m working on an area ware one right now.
Congrats and best of luck putting it together.Will be a long jurney.
Thank you 😃 It will be a long journey - hopefully I’ll get it finished this year at least! 😆 I have the kids Summer hols coming up too, so that will slow things down a bit, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll get it finished before 2023! 😍
Your amazing at puzzles, your most welcomed ☺
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you to say 😊 Thank you for watching 😍
Gotta love puzzle on wheels… best of luck with it. The green scares me. I haven’t done big piece count puzzles my biggest so far being 2000. So well done on doing them. I look forward to see how you get on. 👍
Yes, it’s quite funny that it comes on wheels, but because the wood adds so much weight to it, it sort of needs the wheels 😆 the green is worrying me a bit as well 😆 hopefully there will be enough variation to sort them all out into different piles. I love the large piece count ones, since doing my first one, I just have the bug now! 😍 thank you for watching!
I've just started to get into puzzling...I can't even imagine how long this will take you but I'm so looking forward to seeing you do it... G'day from Australia 🐨
Thank you so much. Really glad to hear that you’re getting into puzzling - it’s a brilliant hobby, and so good for you! G’day back to you from Scotland and thank you for watching! 😍
I love your videos 💕 it's so relaxing and calming to watch how you put puzzles together especially for anxious person and also very heartwarming cause of your pure joy. I can't wait when you'll start this beautiful huge puzzle!
PS also a pokemon fan here so I would love to see you do the 5000 pokemon puzzle by ravensburger, but I hope it's a melody of the future 😊 Have a good day!
Hi! Thank you so much. I’m really glad you love my videos. I also am looking forward to the Pokemon one, I think it’s going to be so fun to do with the kids during the Summer. You have a great day too! 😍
Grace is interested in the box
Cats just love a box! 😻
Congratulations on getting your dream puzzle. I just got my dream puzzle LIFE 24000 pieces. My 1st huge puzzle. Have fun.
Thank you! And congratulations to you on getting your Life puzzle - that’s another beautiful one 😍 I love hearing about what everyone else’s dream puzzles are - many are giant puzzles. I hope you have fun with yours too 😃 thank you for watching!
You got it. I was wondering if you would. Congratulations on both so many subsribers, and for getting your dream puzzle. :)
Thank you so much! 😍
This puzzle is so gorgeous. I am looking forward to seeing you build it and if you do smaller puzzles in between as well. Every time I see you with a giant puzzle, I so want to try one. Probably not 33K pieces though. I just need to strategize how I would do a large puzzle and not disrupt my house. I have a firm rule that the dining room table is for eating only. My other table/ desk is my work from home space which I need for the Hybrid schedule days at home. Normally I puzzle on a puzzle board which I love and keeps puzzling in one place. I have a feeling that a large puzzle is inevitable. I keep getting sucked down the rabbit hole. I look forward to your next video and wish you a wonderful week! ❤️🧩
Thanks! 😍 I will definitely intersperse these videos with other more ‘normal’ sized puzzles 😆 I would always say go for it with the larger puzzles, but I do understand it takes a bit of planning to figure out the logistics of building them! You could work your way up to a big one in steps, 2000, 3000, 4000 pieces etc. Maybe a 5000 piece would be good even? Remember as well that some puzzles come in manageable sized sections - the Disney Orchestra for example comes in 2200 piece sections. 😃 I would like to try and get a board big enough for my 5k puzzles - it would be lovely to film the whole thing coming together for once rather than in sections as I have to build the 6k and larger ones. Well, make sure you let me know if you ever do decide to give one a go - I will cheer you on 😃 Thank you, as always, for watching and a wonderful week to you as well x
@@Vickymakesandbuilds Vicky, why don't you get a dry erase board? You can cut it to size with a very sharp box cutter for your 5000-piecer, and you won't even need to tape up foam boards! It's not that heavy, and you can happily hear the pieces snap...one of my personal pleasures in puzzling!
You’re a braver lass than me lol, I ment what I said on Facebook and I’m always really happy when you post.
I think your sub rise and comment section speaks for it self, well done and thank you for uploading ❤️
Thank you so much for being so lovely and for enjoying what I do - I’m truly glad and grateful that you look forward to my videos and I will keep uploading for as long as I possibly can 😍
Congratulations on getting your dream puzzle with an astounding 33,600 pieces in 10 large bags all contained in a wooden crate on wheels ! Beautiful puzzle. I think Grace was hoping you would take the bags out of the crate right away and let her make the crate her very own ! Cats love boxes you know and this is a giant one ! Whatever do you do to keep Grace from "helping" you with the puzzle?
Thank you! So happy it’s finally mine 😍 I think you are probably right about Grace - he does love a box - and this one is ginormous 😻. Maybe when I’m working on it, I’ll empty it out for him, so he can snuggle in it while I work, better there than on my puzzle table! 😆
Oh my Gosh Wow!!!!:-O:-)😀The box has wheels. Genius.:-O🙂😲I love real life size details,Where's mALAGA?? Grace is adorable.I love the poster.
Hiya! I know, I think the box having wheels is genius as well 😆 I think Malaga is in Southern Spain 😊 he he! Grace is my little puzzling buddy - sometimes he helps, sometimes he gets in the way, but he’s always an interesting puzzle companion 🤣 thank you so much for watching! 😍
Very excited to watch you do this one! Didn't you start another wildlife one with animals coming into a room? I recall watching you begin that but couldn't find the finish. lol
Anyhow - this will be awesome! 👍
NEVER MIND - you just answered my question on the last part of your video. 😂😂
The box is ironically the weakest part of this puzzle. I bought it this summer and it took me 3 attempts. The first box I couldn't lift upright because it would have busted open, second one arrived completely shattered and at that point i gave up and returned it. But a month later the price of the puzzle went even lower and at that point i was like, come what may with the box, I'm keeping it and I'll store it in a different box if i have to, but thankfully, third time was indeed the charm and the box is perfect.
I SO love love love - adore - love love love this puzzle. i would really love it. But I still am working on my 24.000 Puzzle . Have fun making it
Me too! It’s lovely isn’t it? Then again, so is Life! How far into that are you? Maybe you could do this one after you finish that one? 😍 thank you for watching 😃
@@Vickymakesandbuilds - always fun to watch you. I will not attempt another gigantic puzzle ever again. (9000 will be the biggest) I'm plowing myself through resorting my bleu and I'm currently making the animals. those Clown fish are SO difficult.
It is certainly going to be interesting to see you put this puzzle together. Not sure why you feel the need to mix bags together. Does it make any difference to how long it takes to do the puzzle by mixing bags? I guess each puzzler has their methods of doing these very large puzzles. Good luck with doing it and I hope it all goes well for you. 😄
Thank you 😍 the double sections idea was my way of trying to keep the video series shorter than 10 videos, but it occurs to me that I could just do two separate sections in one video! I hadn’t really considered that 😆 I may do a mixture, a little mixing and some not - keeps it interesting I suppose! Thank you for the luck, and thank you for watching 😊
Beautiful puzzle but that would be too big and intimidating for me to try lol No to mention, no room for it when it's completed. lol Good luck! Look forward to seeing your progress with it. :)
Thank you! I’m really looking forward to sharing it with you 😍 thank you for watching 😃
Wowsers! I can't wait to see this one come together. Great videos. I enjoyed watching all your big puzzles coming together & the cameos from Grace!
He he! I’m really looking forward to starting it. I just finished up a 6k by Educa and it’s made me even more excited for this one. Hopefully I can start it soon - I’m moving soon so it might delay things, but I am hopeful for an end of June/beginning of July start! 😃 thank you for watching!
Nice puzzle. I was surprised to se, in regards to directions for missing pieces, that they also included a text in Norwegian, my language. Ordinarily international products only includes text of countries within the EU, and other world-languages. Thus it is seldom to see text on such products in Norwegian. I usually have to read those kinds of text in Swedish, Danish, or English. Looking forwards to your videoes on this puzzle, especially after Karen Puzzles did her Educa Life puzzle. Being a bit colorblind I do not think I will be getting this puzzle, as I do not see to well into the green spectrum of colors I think. But I would like to do it for the animals in the puzzle, if I did not have to do all the green parts. But I would most certainly not mix any of the bags. Though I at times like a challenge, that is not a challenge I would take upon myself.
Hi! Thank you 😃 that’s cool that your language was included, there are so many different languages on the box, that it takes up quite a lot of space, but it’s good that Norwegian was on there too. I watched Karen’s Life puzzle as well - it was great, such a beautiful puzzle 😃! I agree, the animals really make this puzzle for me as well, there are so many! I bet I’ll be spotting new animals on the image every other minute as I build it 😆. Well, I’m definitely intimidated by all the green too - I’m still not entirely sold on mixing the bags yet, I may just do it once or perhaps twice, I just didn’t want there to be 10 individual videos on this, I thought 6 would be better, but there is no reason that I can’t do two sections separately, in one video, I suppose! We’ll see. Part 1 will definitely be a single section though 😍
Hi there about to begin a 4000 piece world map.woukd like to frame where do I get the foam board from to glue the puzzle to enjoying your videos as well
Hi! That sounds like a great puzzle to hang. I hope it’s going well so far? I buy my foam board from Amazon UK. You can buy it in packs, in different sizes and there are different levels of sturdiness and thickness too - a lot of choice!
Thanks for watching - I’m really glad you enjoy the videos 😍
My favorite animal is the orangutan in the middle 😂😂. Can't wait to see all theses videos!! 🧩😻
He he! I like the Orangutan as well 😍
The best kitty sighting was at 31:43.
I have this puzzle. I've finished the 10th (rightmost) section, but before I put it away, I'll build the 9th section onto it. Then I'll remove the 10th and build the 8th onto the 9th and so on. Each section will be broken into 14ths and stored in cardboard envelopes. When I'm done I will have 140 envelopes, each with a 240-piece rectangular chunk. Maybe they will fit in the original box. Nowhere to assemble for the time being.
Hi! I couldn’t even see a kitty sighting at that time, where was he? 😻 he he! He wanders about all over the place, sometimes you just see the tip of a tail going past behind me 😆 I see, that’s a good plan, I like that you are building onto the previous section before you put it away. I think I’ll use the edge of the previous section as a starting point, but I won’t build on to the whole section. I also really like your cardboard envelope storage idea - I was just going to tape it in chunks that lay flat in the box 😃 in terms of final assembly, I usually take to a hall to take pictures. I would love to wall mount it eventually, but I’m not in a permanent abode just now, so I’ll wait until I’m in my forever home before I look into that - I can’t wait to start it though - well done on completing the right hand section, and thank you so much for watching! 😃
@@Vickymakesandbuilds Reflection in the shelving. Almost creepy, but nah, since we _were_ introduced properly.
I will tape later. When taping a chunk, all adjacent chunks should be attached so that the fit is guaranteed and you're not taping anything out of shape. Same goes for glue, if you go that route.
I used to put such large puzzles up in my classroom (8000 to 18000) but I retired and am now without a gallery. My 24000-piece Life is under the bed in 24 parts and has not seen the world. Its reality is merely shadows on the back wall. Sad.
Maybe I will do Around the World (42000) next. There are larger ones, but I think it's the largest with one continuous image.
My dream puzzle is the ravensburger 40,320 piece puzzle with the 10 Disney movies on it
That one is lovely, hard to get hold of though! I think it’s a dream puzzle for many so it tends to sell out really fast! I hope to have a go at it one day too 😊 I hope you get your dream puzzle too 😍 - thank you for watching! 😃
I can only imagine their production machine prints or cuts from right to left and so the numbering is purely a sequential system as the pieces are bagged up. EDUCA Life was the same right to left numbering. Even though its weird, all they really had to supply somewhere was an indication that this is how they do it. Oh well, thanks to your video, anybody reading this knows now, have fun, I just completed Life and look forward to starting this when the weather gets colder....
Yes, I agree - just a wee leaflet that says which number is which section would have been useful, but for some reason they never bothered. That’s cool that you have done Life - that puzzle is beautiful too! 😍 I hope you enjoy your Wildlife - thanks for watching 😃
@@Vickymakesandbuilds Hi, your video inspired me to start this epic puzzle. According to what I thought was the numbering system I opened the highest numbered bag thinking it would be the far left. Couple of hours later I realised I had not sorted out any longer side edge pieces, just top and bottom! So I opened the next highest numbered bag and did an jnitial sort on that and found this one was the far left and had three edges. The bag I opened is the next section and fits perfectly to the far left edges. Now I'm confused and a little worried about what I have in the other 8 bags. Have I got a complete puzzle? Have you encountered anything like this?? Any help/reassurance greatly appreciated. Neil
Hiya! This is very odd isn’t it? So I gather with Educa that they have confusing bag numbering systems, that’s from what I’ve seen on RUclips, and heard from people that I have spoken to about it. I thought that it went from highest to lowest number going from left to right and the few pieces I saw seemed to suggest that, one of the numbers (either the highest or lowest) definitely had corner pieces so I assumed that’s how it went. Honestly I didn’t look too hard at the middle bags so I can’t be 100% sure. Strangely enough, someone else has messaged me about this recently too. He believes that his bags are randomly numbered and seem to go in a random order from left to right. I am definitely going to have another look at my bags and the pieces to check this out. I am moving on Tuesday, but once that has happened I will give it a look and get back to you. Maybe it’s different for every puzzle! I have only done the one Educa and it was in one bag so I haven’t come across this before - it is extremely odd! Leave it with me, I’ll get back to you. Vicky 😊
@@Vickymakesandbuilds Thanks for the reply. My lowest number bag has the other edge and corners so that is the far right of the puzzle as expected. LIFE was numbered highest to lowest, left to right. Hope it's not random as I slightly cheat by using the right edge of the previous completed section as a 'free' edge on the next section. Hope the move goes well. Cheers
Hiya, apologies that this is a late response. I just opened one of my Wildlife bags yesterday and have found the same thing as you to be the case with the numbering. I saw a corner piece in the lowest numbered bag and naturally assumed the highest numbered bag would be the other end. Not so! I opened up the highest numbered bag only to discover that it was section 2. Another person on Facebook messaged me saying the same thing. His numbering system had the highest number as section 2 as well! The next highest number down for him was the left end - as with you, and his lowest number was the right hand end, as with me. On the strength of this, I am willing to bet that my next to highest numbered bag will be the left end. It seems like the puzzle is complete and all fine, but just really randomly and confusingly labelled. What seems more odd though is that the randomness of the labelling appears to be the same for at least 3 of the puzzles that are out there. Bizarre!
Will you end the educa bedroom puzzle before starting this new one?
Or didnt you like the puzzle and will not finish it?
Edit: Watch till the end of the video 😉
😆 he he, yes, I thought I mentioned it at one point. I love the Entering the Bedroom puzzle! I will definitely be finishing it - just took a wee break is all, but I’m back working on it now 😍
New subscriber here, and I really enjoy puzzles myself. You are a brave woman for getting that one, and I wish you the best of luck with it!
Hiya! Thanks for subscribing and for watching. Puzzles are brilliant aren’t they? They’re like therapy for me, but I also love sharing them on the channel. Thank you for the luck too 😍
That giant puzzle will keep you busy for a while enjoy😀
I will, thank you 😃 and thank you for watching 😍
This one should keep you busy for awhile. Do you have a plan for when you will do it
Hiya Russell, yes it will definitely fill my time 😃 I’m not entirely sure yet, but off the top of my head I’m thinking I’ll start the first 3k piece section at the end of June 😍 when will you do yours do you think?
it's called Educa :)) Education Theywant you yo think and figure their system out first :) Why simple when it can be made difficult and challenging :)) The motto of a whole continent caled South America :))
🤣🤣🤣 that made me chuckle! Indeed, why be simple, why not make the bag system a puzzle too…as if 33k pieces wasn’t enough of a puzzle! 😍
Next stop: Educa 'Around The World'. 42000 pieces. Says me, still pondering as to whether to get this Wildlife jigsaw! The only off-putter is the unnecessary wooden crate, which will have skyrocketed the P&P.
🤣🤣 ha ha! I can’t even think about the next biggest one until I’ve done this one! Having said that, I wouldn’t mind having a go at one of the Ravensburger 40k puzzles though 😆 honestly I’m kind of with you on the crate thing, it’s very nice and impressive, but it really does boost the postage, especially to those who have to have it shipped from the other side of the world! I hope you get it figured out soon - thanks for watching! 😍
One the first bag you said: 001835 but I thought I saw 001834....am I wrong?....28:12
Well spotted! 😃 Yes, I snapped a close up pic of the numbers on a random bag, but then I hadn’t checked if it was the same number as the one I was saying in the recording. By the time I realised I had said the wrong number, I had already put all the bags away so I just left it and tried not to worry 😆 thank you for watching 😍
At the cost of this puzzle you think they’d put the pieces in resealable bags.
Yes, and also label the bags properly! All the large puzzles I’ve ever done so far, irrespective of brand, have not had resealable bags. So I guess it’s the norm!
I am not sure, what did you get: a refund and then repair The Old puzzle???
Hi, I kept the puzzle, repaired the box and asked for a refund on the postage 😊
i think that if u shorten ur videos it would be much intresting
thx
Thanks for your feedback 😊
I really like your videos but it is a bit difficult to listen to you when every second word is "ehm", "äh" and please look in the camera.
I’m glad you like my videos. Thank you for your constructive feedback - I’ve been working a lot on the ehm and ahs since this video. In terms of looking at the camera, I thought I was, but it’s possible I was focussed a little too much on the view finder 🤔
