    Great video! I like all Colorboom puzzles and this one was really pretty 🙂
    I also had experience with Clementoni missing pieces services. To put it to perspective I was challenged by my friend to do a Minion puzzle from Impossible puzzle series. She was attempting to do it but unfortunately did not finish it so she challenged me and offered me a reward if I would finish it and get it back to her assembeled so that she could put it on the wall afterwards 😅 I finished the puzzle but found out that the puzzle was missing one piece. Since I wanted my friend to have a full on puzzle displayed on her wall I took it on myself to contact Clementoni to see if there is a possibility to replace the piece. Although Czech Republic is not one of the countries they offer the missing piece service I still tried to contact them if there is some possibility to make it happen. Well, they answered pretty quickly that I can submit a request, send them bar code, some other code (which was not on/in the box) and photo of the missing piece. I did that, sent it by email and then by mail to Poland (nearest country with missing piece service) and was waiting for reply. Since it was a puzzle that was not in there catalogue anymore they were not able to send me the missing piece (they warned me about possible different cut) nor puzzle itself but offered me to send me other puzzle of the same type as replacement. I thought that this was so nice of them! I can only applaud them for such good services! I was really, really pleased with the way they handled it!👏 And as for my friend, I found this puzzle on swap facebook page, bought it, assembled it again and then finally got it to her completed!😊

    Thanks for doing a 2000 piece puzzle for one video. I really appreciate all your effort. And we can all relate to your frustration with missing pieces.

      You are most welcome! I really enjoyed it - in fact, I love 2k puzzles period - I just find it a really nice size to build! 😍
      I know, it does happen I guess, just hope I can get it sorted soon 😍

    Such a pretty puzzle. I enjoyed watching you build it. Bummer about the missing peace!
    I hope the replacement will have the same cut.

      I’m so glad you enjoyed it, it was very satisfying to build, all except for the missing piece of course! 😩
      Fingers crossed it does have the same cut! I’ll keep you posted 😍

      I also just completed Psychedelic Jungle Sunrise - tricky, but so beautiful 🤩
      I can’t wait to try Downtown, I have it in my ‘to-do’ - it’s so beautiful!

    Cool puzzle. I do a lot of thrift shop puzzles and a missing piece doesn’t really bother me, but it’s of course annoying when it's a new puzzle

    • @Vickymakesandbuilds

      Yes I agree, it’s not surprising in a used puzzle, but frustrating when it’s new 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Ooooh soooo pretty! I got the color boom waves 500 for $4 CDN at a church sale… it was so good. I really enjoyed it . I would love to buy all there smaller count ones as anything over 1000 just seems too tricky! That is always so disappointing when there is a missing piece. It definitely stresses me out when I buy second hand puzzles but usually all pieces end up being there. I just splurged on a new puzzle and it ended up with 4 missing pieces.. grrrr. Luckily, I was able to return it to the store for a refund so I guess you just get defective ones sometimes. Thanks for the video.

      I want to try Waves too! And another with lizard tails on it - they look so gorgeous! That was a bargain! Good find 😍
      I know, it happens I guess, no getting around that, just frustrating it happened on a 2k 😂 rebuilding a 1k wouldn’t be a bother, but 2k takes a little longer!
      Thank you for watching, I’m glad you like the video ☺️

    I can relate to your missing piece worries. A few years ago, I made a Clementoni puzzle and I found out that I had one piece missing and three (3!) same pieces, of which I could only use one of course🤪

    • @Vickymakesandbuilds
      @Vickymakesandbuilds  6 месяцев назад

      Oh lord - three repeat pieces?? I always wonder if there is another puzzler out there with a puzzle with pieces missing from theirs, whenever I find repeat ones! I suppose these things happen. It’s just a little heart breaking when it does 😩

      @@Vickymakesandbuilds I had a Ceaco puzzle that had 5 corners and two missing pieces. Not fun. Also did the 5000 Ravensburger Disney Mickey and Friends one and it had a piece missing as well. Amazon, however, will refund or replace so not so bad. They did so even after the 30 day return period because they understood how long it can take to do a large piece count puzzle if you're not constantly sitting there with it.

    I have this puzzle but I haven't done it yet. Looks pretty when it is finished. Gradients are probably my favorite type of puzzle which might explain why I'm working on a 5000 piece. Just a couple hundred pieces, if that, to go on it.

    • @Vickymakesandbuilds
      @Vickymakesandbuilds  6 месяцев назад

      I also love gradients, but haven’t done the 5k - is that the one by Playgroup?

    @puzzlepiece9509 6 месяцев назад

    Oh dear, missing piece, so disappointing. 😞 Will you receive the same cut or end up with a different one??? Have you seen Clementoni's Psychedelic Jungle yet? That would be a difficult one to do. I ummed and aahed but decided to pass on it. Looks lovely but.......... Finished doing the Ravensburger 1000 piece Squishmallows Squish Squad which I enjoyed but it has a repeat pattern. Look forward to your next video.

    • @Vickymakesandbuilds
      @Vickymakesandbuilds  6 месяцев назад

      I know, I wasn’t chuffed at all! I don’t know about the cut - I’m just really hoping that it is the same 🤞
      I have and have built Psychedelic Jungle Sunrise very recently - it is so gorgeous, but not easy. It was fun though. 😍
      Oh I saw that Squishmallows one in a toy shop in Newmarket, it looks fun! 🤩

    I just did this one too! I watched one of your previous livestream and heard you mention you were working on this puzzle *while* I was currently working on it :D
    And I had the same experience too, too shiny for my taste and a bit more challenging than expected because of those larger solid colored sections. Didn't miss a piece though and it was such a fun and beautiful puzzle!

    • @Vickymakesandbuilds
      @Vickymakesandbuilds  6 месяцев назад

    Hi Vicky!!😊
    Did you check your loose pockets on the clothes you have worn when building the puzzle? Under the gaps/slits (between floor and bottom of furniture) from furniture? I found one like that!
    My 3K Ravensburger Ocean Wonders had a missing piece. I went back to the store where it was bought. The employee and I Iooked through most of the pieces (yikes) because I didn't want to rebuild it so soon, and found the piece! The cut was the same. I happily went home with the piece found in another copy, put the piece in, but the color tone happened to be different!!! Luckily, it was a brown color, so I decided to keep the puzzle to this day. I built it again at a later time with the found piece, can discern which piece it is but not too annoyed. Still annoyed over that piece, but haven't sold/given it away because this is the prettiest 3K I have seen.

    • @Vickymakesandbuilds
      @Vickymakesandbuilds  6 месяцев назад

      Hi Betty!
      Yes, I looked in all the obvious places, including clothes and shoes! I couldn’t find it unfortunately 😔
      I’ve heard about different colour tones, but I’m past caring at this point - even in a gradient! Lol. I can build again, but not yet, it would be so much easier to just finish the one I’ve done. Hey ho, it happens I guess. I just hope the replacement puzzle they send is the right cut 🤞

  • @mariansandu637
    @mariansandu637 6 месяцев назад

    I also want to know how to get the missing pieces from different puzzles. What if there was a team of puzzle rescuers who are missing the pieces? We would not worry that it is not our fault. After you get the piece back, help me out too. My house is cluttered and pieces are getting lost. I started a difficult puzzle but noticed a missing piece and stopped it. It remained undone. I'll look for it in the vacuum on Tuesday.

    • @Vickymakesandbuilds
      @Vickymakesandbuilds  6 месяцев назад +1

      Ah, that’s a shame about your missing pieces! Different companies have different policies, some don’t have missing piece services, but the bigger ones usually do. A lot also depends on how old the puzzle is. If it’s discontinued it often can’t be replaced. In this case, Clementoni are sending me a whole new puzzle. I just hope it’s the right cut! 🤞
