So awesome! I'm one of Buffalo Games' artists (some of my puzzles are in this video!) - and they are a fantastic company to work with!! Had the pleasure of visiting this facility and was blown away by how nice everyone was, and how impressive the entire production is! This is a great video that I look forward to sharing with my fans!
I had never done a puzzle until this pandemic. Now I can’t stop. I love this hobby. Also buffalo is great. I had a piece missing from one I purchased. They are not able to replace a missing piece but they did send me a whole new puzzle at no charge.
My mother in law got a puzzle for Christmas a couple of years ago and it was missing several edge pieces. I bought a 1,000 piece puzzle that was missing one piece. So annoying... (I got it replaced)
One thing that might make a puzzle fantastic gift would be to custom print someone's photograph onto a blank since cutting is more a matter of sizing it to the board and it's already done on canvas that you can order online. Imagine the surprise they'd have beginning a puzzle that seemed oddly familiar as it began to show the car they once owned or a beloved pet from long ago looking back at them and it would be especially good for seniors since it would trigger memories as it was built. Indeed if they could charge 15/25$ per puzzle depending on size it would be a best seller since most that you buy are of places/art that you'll likely never see. One alternative would be to send a printable blank that you could take take to a local printer or do it at home since it would be even more flexible/fun to create it yourself so that Holiday photo or of family outing they treasure would be a unique Momento as much as the memory it recalled....
And why i wont get any with too many pieces lol, cause u try do edge first and then try match piece right part and all. i think last i did kinda was with my niece so i just gave a piece and she place where it go and then we break it and let her do herself . so it show she has idea where to place and they was easy kid puzzle her ma got her to put together at time. so her and later her bro can redo any to show ma and dad what they did at time.
With the speed of that machine, it's got to be something like a die cut--like a "cookie cutter," but with thinner and sharper blades. That would be compatible with a cardboard backing.
Ive worked in the large format print industry for 17 years. However not on puzzles! They are in fact die cut face up. You can see the image side edges are always curved down. This is from the knife blades pushing through. The tougher question for manufacturing with a die is ensuring the die knives release each of the pieces. This is usually done through a determined thickness of die rubber set onto the face of the die to push each piece back out. However with 1000 pieces they may be using some form of mechanical release. I can imaging getting just one piece not to release or having a trouble spot in a die that intermittently won’t release the piece would be a good way to go home very grumpy. Dies are made by very skilled craftsmen “die makers” and yes “die rule” which is what the raw blade material is called is extremely sharp.
Here is a german video wich shows the whole process: ruclips.net/video/QZj4AHfmPfI/видео.html I guess even if you don't speak german, together with Joels explanation it will make sense. First they create a wood template, then the rubber insert and then blades are bent and everything is put together.
Respect! My Grandfather does puzzles during tax season to help him cool off. It is really nice to see that the puzzle making business has had a boom this year.
I randomly bought and just finished building a puzzle now for the first time in like 2 decades. yesterday I ordered 2 more puzzles so I’m definitely part of that pandemic market 😂 But I was wondering about puzzle design and how you don’t want a ton of blue pieces etc - what a fun job!
Have never solved a puzzle, and had ordered one just after I finished watching this video the first time. Now its one of my favourite things to do, even my mom has become addicted to this. :) Finally something non-digital to do :P
What's stopping you? Once a month... potluck, masks required by all attendees, must be worn unless eating, hugs at a distance, share a meal, everyone must wash their hands upon entry, great memories to be had, lots of hand sanitizer around, sterilize as much as you can... 1/3 cup of Bleach per gallon of water, sanitize everything? Bring your own meat, and a potluck dish for 10 servings, coordinate the menu, fire up the BBQ/Grill? Maintain your distance, open a few windows for fresh air, fire up the fireplace... it can be done. Find the 4 corners first, take turns reaching in to find the edges, standing away from the table... Video it all! Great memories for years down the line? Perhaps make plans for early to late Spring? Summer BBQ potluck? Though these plans may not be ok right now, there are many family memories to be made down the road. Don't give up hope or faith, ok?
It only takes me a week or two to do a thousand piece puzzle by myself, working a couple hours a day (can't do more than that as I have young kids to take care of). In the last 10 months I have done many 1000 piece puzzles!
i love the 1000 piece charles wysocki puzzles and country life puzzles, i glue everyone i do and have a big stack of completed puzzles going, i also keep a log book of every puzzle i do and keep every poster
I'm retired and always have a 1,000 piece puzzle in progress. Most of my puzzles are Buffalo. I've noticed that some Buffalo puzzle boxes have the box lid glued and others have the plastic bag inside. One thing I think they could improve on is the glue. One time I dripped a small amount of water on a few pieces and the layers came apart immediately. And it was only a few drops. I'm sure there are bad puzzle batches out there. Maybe because of the pandemic. I love the Aimee Stewart collection. But I love all of Buffalo's puzzles.
I do at least one 2000 piece puzzles a month. My son gave me a subscription to the Buffalo Puzzle of the Month. It's great fun. It's great to see how much effort they put into making sure all the pieces are there. My question is: many of our recent puzzles have come with extra pieces, in a few cases not duplicates, but from some other puzzle. All of our puzzles have been complete. Mysterious.
Wow! Only a few hours ago, my granddaughter and I were saying how we'd like to see how puzzles were made. Wish granted, lol. I never liked doing jigsaw puzzles, but started them during the pandemic and got hooked. Now I love them. I think my first one was a Buffalo, and it's still one of my favorite brands.
If you like them so much, you can frame and hang them on the wall. I have many framed puzzles, which I plan to sell for making money before leaving Turkey for Work & Travel and coming to US. So, only one of them is hanging in our house, the rest is stored with bubble wrap. I don't want to put pieces in the box back again and I don't have much space left for frames. I will try to stick them from the back using tape for being able to keep doing puzzles.
Must be nice where you live. I see people faces every day since the pandemic. I see people go in to stores with out face masks. It sucks we hitting 2,000 dead in my area but people are selfish and don't care. My coworker said he knows 3 people that survived covid-19 but they all died weeks later after being covid free from heart attack. His buddies ages were from 30s and 40s.
My sister and I joke all the time we’re puzzle puzzlers like we puzzle all the time and now that the virus has hit we aren’t able to find a new puzzle anywhere it is cuckoo. I love you buffalo puzzles thank you so much for your service and for being diligent and for working your fingers to the bone to make sure that the citizens of the world don’t lose their minds and again let me reiterate I puzzle all the time so I don’t lose my mind I’ve been making puzzles since I was probably 10 I love them!!!!!
Let me start by saying that what I'm about to say did NOT happen with a Buffalo games puzzle. We bought a puzzle from a well-known reputable company and started putting it together the day after Christmas. We found that there was an entire section of about 15 to 20 pieces that were missing. Not random pieces all around the puzzle, but one definitive section about the diameter of a softball that were missing. I'm curious as to what part of the manufacturing process that error could have occurred. I've been putting jigsaw puzzles together for about 65 years and not once, have I ever experienced an incomplete puzzle out of the box to this extent.
I have never seen this procedure and found it pretty much how I thought it would be. All my life I have loved jigsaw puzzles and still do at the age of 75. I still do any size and that includes 1,000 piece ones. We are about to have a big snowstorm tomorrow and I just pulled out another puzzle to do. I have done many Buffalo ones but now it is getting difficult to find any new ones. I have had to resort to going to the Salvation Army thrift store, but they are out of them also and sometimes there are many pieces missing. I say a big "THANK YOU" to all those people who make me content in my life alone by continuing to make puzzles. 💜
The thing that blows my mind is that they’re using a single packaging line to package multiple different designs alternately. That’s gotta be a nightmare if it ever gets out of sync.
Oh my lord. How I would love to shop in that warehouse. Buffalo is my favorite puzzle company, because of the snap noise each piece make. Let's you know that you have the right piece where it belongs.
10 to 15 hours?? My dream! I'm broke because it takes me about 4 hours lol I can't keep up with my own demand (ps: do puzzles!!!! great activity for all ages, helps with fine motor skills and logic thinking, there's nothing more satisfying than putting in the last piece and doing that pleasant puzzle rub)
Well that is so true…. Decided to start puzzling as a stress relief and hobby for 2022…. Will be ordering my first Buffalo puzzle soon! I started with some dollar tree ones… and they were fun… so I know buffalo puzzles will be top notch!
1 st Buffalo puzzle and several pieces are missing. Very disappointing to work at 750 pieces , being ever so careful to get them sorted and safe , only to have pieces missing.
Unfortunately their quality control sucks. I bought three of their puzzles during the pandemic and every single one was missing at least one piece. I ordered a replacement for the first one - which I received - and will do the same for the other two.
Love the Charles WySocki ones. I just bought 7 this week alone. Completed 3 in a weekend. I have some Thomas Kindaide puzzles made by Ceaco and I've notice a huge difference in quality which makes doing these puzzles enjoyable or frustrating. Buffalo definitely has the better quality, all pieces are cut perfectly where none stick together but Ceaco needs to invest in better cutters. I also like how Buffalo's jigsaw pieces align better with each other.
I love the Buffalo puzzles. I go through them so quickly and you really can pick up the whole puzzle in one go. I did a 2000 in about 3ish days and 1000 in 2 nights. I saw some that I had this year in the video!
1000 in 2 nights! Wow, we're on our first ever 1000-piece puzzle, taken us 2 weeks so far, about 20% to go 😂. If you ever come to Perth, Western Australia, please drop in to give us some tips 🤩
During the first lockdown because of the pandemic, I bought a puzzle after not doing one since childhood. I recently bought two more puzzles the other day. I remember puzzles being so boring back in the day, but there are so much better designs now. I'm hooked.
You can get great puzzles at the Dollar Store/Dollar General, 35-500 pieces. Great Christmas gifts for the kids, friends, family, a neighbor, your fav friend, on the cheap as we hunker down for the flu season on top of the ick. Stay safe and well, my friends, from your eternal sister in Christ somewhere near Seattle and around the World... ⚘🙏❤🙏⚘
Out of all my time doing puzzles I never really thought to look up how they were made but ho boy was that a mistake! I saw one or two puzzles that I need but I know I won't be able to find anymore. lol Also 10 to 15 hours??? I, uh, go through puzzles faster. I try to pace myself but when I'm left to my own I can just sit and puzzle non-stop.
Do a Where's Waldo Puzzle. I had 5 days of Labor Day weekend and I still couldn't complete 3000 pieces and I was going all day with only getting 6 hours of sleep. Then again, it wasn't as enjoyable because gawd there are soooooo many faces.
Had a first today. We do about 3 -1000 pc puzzles a week, glue them, and stack them up for future hanging. Today when I opened the Buffalo box....we actually had an extra piece. It was a edge piece and an exact duplicate of a piece we already used. EDIT: Today we opened another new Buffalo puzzle. The puzzle was a Chuck Pinson titled "Sunrise by the Sea"....but the poster in the box was for a Charles Wysocki titled "Bread & Butter Farms." Last year we bought another Buffalo puzzle where the pieces to the puzzle were for a completely different puzzle than the puzzle on the box. I like Buffalo puzzles.....but they need a better inspection system. This year we expect to buy around 200 puzzles....I'd like to keep buying Buffalo, but it seems they have too many packaging errors. EDIT#2: We just finished "Sunrise by the Sea"....and yet again we're missing one piece. This is getting ridiculous.
Ceaco is the same. One puzzle was missing 2 pieces. Just finished another of theirs, and it had one duplicate piece and one missing piece. The fitment of the pieces for this puzzle was sloppy, very loose. I contacted the company about the first puzzle, and they offered to send me a new replacement puzzle (4 to 6 weeks for delivery). Not wasting my rime for the second puzzle.
That is no fun. So far we've been lucky. My husband works tons of BG ( Wysocki ) puzzles and we have some other artists as well and we've never had a missing piece before.
I've bought about 50 more puzzles since my original comment from various sites. So far no more missing pieces from Buffalo, but 3 other companies' had a missing piece. I really like Wysocki ...probably my favorite puzzles.
I was told by others some even after they do puzzle and all goes right they pasted to a board to frame and it a picture they can put on wall anytime. so not gotta pay alot for actual pic , u put together and then u have a cheap version to enjoy and see anytime.
Surprisingly, I can count all the Buffalo puzzles i have, cant count the amount of puzzles i have, but can for Buffalo puzzles as i have yet to really find images i like from buffalo. Been getting mine imported from Japan, the uk, mex, and Brazil. I like doing puzzles of historical sites and (as my name states it :D ) anime sooo yep, not for me.
Im in love with Josephine wall puzzles. I am doing the whole glitter collection. I am in LOVE. I had to return the one i bought and im waiting for the new one to show up. The edges were frayed on all the pieces. No harm but gonna get a new one. Cant wait
We just finished putting together one of your 1000 piece puzzles. Enjoyed it a lot. I am amazed at how well they are made. The pieces fit precisely. And no piece was missing. Thanks
After watching this video, I went shopping for the bird puzzle. What a surprise, the shelves were overloaded and all of the puzzles of every brand were "Made in China" including Buffalo puzzles. Even the Audubon Society bird puzzles. Maybe the made in Buffalo puzzles don't get shipped all over the USA. Get ready for a massive over stock BG.
2:24 HEH i have a 1000 piece (round) puzzle of the moon A BIG SLAB of grey some 0.5% darker than the rest (the puzzle sizes are aboutttt 2 by 2 (cm)or something like that)
Not True! The completed puzzle WILL NOT hold if lifted up in the air to view, at least the 1,000 I made. Mine had way too many wrinkled pieces, some w opened edges, but overall, the print is beautiful, each piece is a perfect fit and had NO missing pieces. I like fixing things, so a small brush of white glue fix the problem. It is not a deal breaker, I like the texture and feel of the pieces. The cardboard is fresh, and providing a poster is a plus. I just wish their puzzles would arrive on a ziplock bag and the box had a tamper seal, not hot glue as it rips the box when trying to open it.
Buffalo Puzzles are my go to for relaxing...especially Charles Wysocki puzzles. My aunt and I like the 300 to 500 piece puzzles. A 300 piece will take an hour for us to do. A 500 piece will last 8 hours. Its fun.
Buffalo Games has a lot of really cool puzzle images. One of my favorites is San Francisco with the two trolley's running up and down a street. It's called "San Francisco Commute."
They make so many per day because Buffalo puzzle pieces suck! The images peel off the edges of the pieces, a ton of the pieces are still stuck together when you get it, they're thin....just awful. Go with a Ravensburger or Educa if you actually want a decent puzzle.
"...there will be a robust demand for a long time to come..." As soon as the pandemic is over most of these "new customers" are going back to their normal lives and will drop die-cut gramma puzzles like a hot rock. Don't squander this opportunity. Invest and innovate with highly desirable products to retain and wow these people by stimulating their minds in new ways. You can start by updating your bland package design. Otherwise you face the same fate as your namesake.
So awesome! I'm one of Buffalo Games' artists (some of my puzzles are in this video!) - and they are a fantastic company to work with!! Had the pleasure of visiting this facility and was blown away by how nice everyone was, and how impressive the entire production is! This is a great video that I look forward to sharing with my fans!
Which ones?
Can u make videos in ur channel about it?
Yes! I observe there are POCs and the very CEO is also a POC. This company is so nice!
Wow
So you are a designer of some of these puzzles, but before this time you hadn't visited the factory?
I had never done a puzzle until this pandemic. Now I can’t stop. I love this hobby. Also buffalo is great. I had a piece missing from one I purchased. They are not able to replace a missing piece but they did send me a whole new puzzle at no charge.

Um. Yoga... is also for your mind? Who’s going to tell him 😂
I’ve done two already I’m gonna get some more, when I’m done with them I donate them or give to family and friends to do.
Buffalo Games makes the BEST puzzles. Just bought one 👍🏻
One thing that might make a puzzle fantastic gift would be to custom print someone's photograph onto a blank since cutting is more a matter of sizing it to the board and it's already done on canvas that you can order online. Imagine the surprise they'd have beginning a puzzle that seemed oddly familiar as it began to show the car they once owned or a beloved pet from long ago looking back at them and it would be especially good for seniors since it would trigger memories as it was built. Indeed if they could charge 15/25$ per puzzle depending on size it would be a best seller since most that you buy are of places/art that you'll likely never see. One alternative would be to send a printable blank that you could take take to a local printer or do it at home since it would be even more flexible/fun to create it yourself so that Holiday photo or of family outing they treasure would be a unique Momento as much as the memory it recalled....
Very cool idea, but when people build puzzles do not they see the end result on the box or have a picture of it for reference?
I can't believe myself, I clicked here because I read 'puzzle' as pizza XD
same hahahaha... then i realised that is not pizza hahaha
Same thought it was pizza i got clickbated
Puzzle and Pizza?
What a Serious difference.
Me too
well, pizza is a puzzle too
There’s nothing like placing that last piece 😀!
Except when that last piece is missing!
That's the piece I always look for.
im when happy when there is 30 left from a 1000 piece.
Last month i finished my 2000 pieces puzzle and the last piece is still missing.
IM NOT OKAY
And why i wont get any with too many pieces lol, cause u try do edge first and then try match piece right part and all. i think last i did kinda was with my niece so i just gave a piece and she place where it go and then we break it and let her do herself . so it show she has idea where to place and they was easy kid puzzle her ma got her to put together at time. so her and later her bro can redo any to show ma and dad what they did at time.
"How 2 Million Puzzles A Month Are Made In The Middle Of A Pandemic"

Interesting.
Three months in, puzzles were hard to find in stock and prices went up.

That’s his idea for the next puzzle 😂
I don't get how anyone can work in that mess.... Imagine his home...
The most interesting part they didn't show is how the pieces are cut. Is it laser? Blades? A press cut?
With the speed of that machine, it's got to be something like a die cut--like a "cookie cutter," but with thinner and sharper blades. That would be compatible with a cardboard backing.
@@kenc2257 that's what I first thought. It would be a very intricate cutter to be made, they say that no piece is the same shape.

So cool! I haven't done a puzzle in years, even tho I loved it as a kid... Now I want to do one! xD
Same. Puzzles are really fun.
i can do them on behalf for you
Right???? There's something in puzzles that makes you wanna solve them!
well they have many Cat ones since you like neko's so much : )
Well? You’ve had a month. Did you?
I was always puzzled about how they did it.
are you puzzled on how others fixed it then?
Oh don't puzzle me
I see what you did there...your almost as transparent as a windowmaker factory product ;)
so u r telling me the puzzles are created completed ??!

Me: 15 hours? How slow are they? *sees puzzle the size of a bed sheet* Oh...
Wow I always figured making puzzles was a fast and cheap process. Never expected to hear a 2,000 piece puzzle would take 30hours to make.
🤣🤣🤣
I suspect the vast majority of that is the design process. The actual manufacturing (aside for waiting for glue to dry) is probably pretty rapid

it's youtube's wobderfuk ability to read users' thoughts 😊
I'd far prefer Ravensburger, for size and quality. But that's my opinion.
my problem with puzzles is that after I'm done, idk what to do with it.
You can take it apart, put it in the box and tape shut. Donate to a thrift store, or a nursing home, etc, Everybody loves a puzzle!
I suggest convincing your family and friends to take up jigsaw puzzles, and then you can trade them around your family.
If you like them so much, you can frame and hang them on the wall. I have many framed puzzles, which I plan to sell for making money before leaving Turkey for Work & Travel and coming to US. So, only one of them is hanging in our house, the rest is stored with bubble wrap. I don't want to put pieces in the box back again and I don't have much space left for frames. I will try to stick them from the back using tape for being able to keep doing puzzles.

Sadly, Covid didnt help me solve the puzzle. I have to do it myself 🥺
send it to me. i will solve it for you ;)

I really appreciate that the designers focus on making the puzzles easier and not having big sections of a single color.
This is the part of the process that sets good puzzle makers apart from the rest.
We’re not trying to change the intent of the artist, we’re just making it more difficult. Surely not to curb copyright laws reeheehee
Some really ugly puzzle designs out there. Now I know wherr they are made.
lmaooo
The thing that blows my mind is that they’re using a single packaging line to package multiple different designs alternately. That’s gotta be a nightmare if it ever gets out of sync.
Love the fact that they're made here in the Good Old USA.
Oh my lord. How I would love to shop in that warehouse. Buffalo is my favorite puzzle company, because of the snap noise each piece make. Let's you know that you have the right piece where it belongs.

10 to 15 hours?? My dream! I'm broke because it takes me about 4 hours lol I can't keep up with my own demand (ps: do puzzles!!!! great activity for all ages, helps with fine motor skills and logic thinking, there's nothing more satisfying than putting in the last piece and doing that pleasant puzzle rub)
That's fast..
Well that is so true…. Decided to start puzzling as a stress relief and hobby for 2022…. Will be ordering my first Buffalo puzzle soon! I started with some dollar tree ones… and they were fun… so I know buffalo puzzles will be top notch!
These puzzles are so beautiful! If they were available here in Iceland, I think I'd buy them all.
I remember looking in stores for puzzles at the beginning of the pandemic and there were none! So glad they have returned to the shelves.
1 st Buffalo puzzle and several pieces are missing. Very disappointing to work at 750 pieces , being ever so careful to get them sorted and safe , only to have pieces missing.
Unfortunately their quality control sucks. I bought three of their puzzles during the pandemic and every single one was missing at least one piece. I ordered a replacement for the first one - which I received - and will do the same for the other two.
Love the Charles WySocki ones. I just bought 7 this week alone. Completed 3 in a weekend. I have some Thomas Kindaide puzzles made by Ceaco and I've notice a huge difference in quality which makes doing these puzzles enjoyable or frustrating. Buffalo definitely has the better quality, all pieces are cut perfectly where none stick together but Ceaco needs to invest in better cutters. I also like how Buffalo's jigsaw pieces align better with each other.
I love the Buffalo puzzles. I go through them so quickly and you really can pick up the whole puzzle in one go. I did a 2000 in about 3ish days and 1000 in 2 nights. I saw some that I had this year in the video!
1000 in 2 nights! Wow, we're on our first ever 1000-piece puzzle, taken us 2 weeks so far, about 20% to go 😂. If you ever come to Perth, Western Australia, please drop in to give us some tips 🤩
i do puzzling and time lapses!!!!
Very cool..Just completed a cat puzzle that looks exactly like my cat. Very satisfying.
I would like to be more intelligent to do 500 or 1000 piece puzzles. I can only do puzzles for kids.
All i really wanted to see was how the puzzles where getting cut
During the first lockdown because of the pandemic, I bought a puzzle after not doing one since childhood. I recently bought two more puzzles the other day. I remember puzzles being so boring back in the day, but there are so much better designs now. I'm hooked.
What's your favorite designs
You can get great puzzles at the Dollar Store/Dollar General, 35-500 pieces.
Great Christmas gifts for the kids, friends, family, a neighbor, your fav friend, on the cheap as we hunker down for the flu season on top of the ick.
Stay safe and well, my friends, from your eternal sister in Christ somewhere near Seattle and around the World...

Love your puzzles. Need picture suggestions? Wish I could work there. Do employees get free puzzles ?
I really love your videos . But can you add arabic subtitle please 😘
I'm watching this to figure out if one of the pieces gets stuck on any of the parts. It would solve the mystery of the missing puzzle piece. ..
Out of all my time doing puzzles I never really thought to look up how they were made but ho boy was that a mistake! I saw one or two puzzles that I need but I know I won't be able to find anymore. lol
Also 10 to 15 hours??? I, uh, go through puzzles faster. I try to pace myself but when I'm left to my own I can just sit and puzzle non-stop.
Do a Where's Waldo Puzzle. I had 5 days of Labor Day weekend and I still couldn't complete 3000 pieces and I was going all day with only getting 6 hours of sleep. Then again, it wasn't as enjoyable because gawd there are soooooo many faces.
Glad I invented puzzles, aren’t you?
Ohhhh my glorious Supreme leader. Those idiots at air koroyo wouldn't give me a extra cookie. Can you punish them

Asian themed jigsaw puzzles are missing in yr collection. Need them.
Had a first today. We do about 3 -1000 pc puzzles a week, glue them, and stack them up for future hanging. Today when I opened the Buffalo box....we actually had an extra piece. It was a edge piece and an exact duplicate of a piece we already used.
EDIT: Today we opened another new Buffalo puzzle. The puzzle was a Chuck Pinson titled "Sunrise by the Sea"....but the poster in the box was for a Charles Wysocki titled "Bread & Butter Farms." Last year we bought another Buffalo puzzle where the pieces to the puzzle were for a completely different puzzle than the puzzle on the box. I like Buffalo puzzles.....but they need a better inspection system. This year we expect to buy around 200 puzzles....I'd like to keep buying Buffalo, but it seems they have too many packaging errors.
EDIT#2: We just finished "Sunrise by the Sea"....and yet again we're missing one piece. This is getting ridiculous.
Ceaco is the same. One puzzle was missing 2 pieces. Just finished another of theirs, and it had one duplicate piece and one missing piece. The fitment of the pieces for this puzzle was sloppy, very loose.
I contacted the company about the first puzzle, and they offered to send me a new replacement puzzle (4 to 6 weeks for delivery). Not wasting my rime for the second puzzle.
I'm going to be that person........ are you sure you didn't just misplace the piece?
Absolutely. I use a huge table in a spare room which is used solely for doing puzzles. No way could a piece leave the table or room.
That is no fun. So far we've been lucky. My husband works tons of BG ( Wysocki ) puzzles and we have some other artists as well and we've never had a missing piece before.
I've bought about 50 more puzzles since my original comment from various sites. So far no more missing pieces from Buffalo, but 3 other companies' had a missing piece. I really like Wysocki ...probably my favorite puzzles.
My family was ahead of the curve: I had a bank of puzzles prior to the Covid business. Buffalo has interesting puzzle designs.
I love Buffalo Puzzles! I can testify that this was what kept me sane during the lockdowns!!
And now I have a newfound understanding of puzzle manufacturers and their inner workings...worth it.
I was told by others some even after they do puzzle and all goes right they pasted to a board to frame and it a picture they can put on wall anytime. so not gotta pay alot for actual pic , u put together and then u have a cheap version to enjoy and see anytime.
I did that with a puzzle of Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. It looks great.
We hadn't 'puzzled' in maybe 20yrs - Since the pandemic we've been buying them regularly. And we only order Buffalo :)
this is really, REALLY cool. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Surprisingly, I can count all the Buffalo puzzles i have, cant count the amount of puzzles i have, but can for Buffalo puzzles as i have yet to really find images i like from buffalo. Been getting mine imported from Japan, the uk, mex, and Brazil. I like doing puzzles of historical sites and (as my name states it :D ) anime sooo yep, not for me.
It would be fun to work on the packaging line, and remove one piece from each box. Or not.
I would imagine their HR Department makes sure the employees are always happy enough with their pay and benefits to prevent this. 😁
Didn't get to see the most interesting part. The cutting. Boooooo
Im in love with Josephine wall puzzles. I am doing the whole glitter collection. I am in LOVE. I had to return the one i bought and im waiting for the new one to show up. The edges were frayed on all the pieces. No harm but gonna get a new one. Cant wait
We just finished putting together one of your 1000 piece puzzles. Enjoyed it a lot. I am amazed at how well they are made. The pieces fit precisely. And no piece was missing. Thanks
would love to work in a puzzle factory
Big question, can I get an "UNCUT" puzzle. I like the pictures and I want to hang them on my wall but I don't want to put them together.
🤣
🤣Sometimes I wish that to...... I mean you could use the cheat sheet that's given, put it in a frame and no one would notice.
Ravensburger forever! I have no idea why I have such strong brand loyalty, but I do, ALL OTHERS MUST PERISH BENEATH THE MIGHTY BOOT OF RAVENSBURGER!
i want ravensburger but they are so expensive where i am :(
If they had reallotted just a fraction of the companies massive amounts of money, they wouldn’t have had to fire some of their workers
I misread and thought it was pizzas 🍕 🤣
It is like me in candy store! ❤🎉
After watching this video, I went shopping for the bird puzzle. What a surprise, the shelves were overloaded and all of the puzzles of every brand were "Made in China" including Buffalo puzzles. Even the Audubon Society bird puzzles. Maybe the made in Buffalo puzzles don't get shipped all over the USA. Get ready for a massive over stock BG.
Try Ceaco Puzzles ! They are made in the USA
Love it! Better to engage your mind with puzzles than going online to fish for verified conspiracy theories.
i’ve bought and completed over 20 puzzles in just the past few months so looks like i’m contributing to this lmaoo
same!
No one to make a "Karen Puzzles" reference in the comments? All right, its gonna be me
OMG Yes!
2:03 - Yeah you’re just trying not to have to pay royalties...
Uh that's not how it works. And they clearly added details because there's an empty spot of sea on both sides of the building
2:24 HEH i have a 1000 piece (round) puzzle of the moon A BIG SLAB of grey some 0.5% darker than the rest (the puzzle sizes are aboutttt 2 by 2 (cm)or something like that)
Not True!
The completed puzzle WILL NOT hold if lifted up in the air to view, at least the 1,000 I made.
Mine had way too many wrinkled pieces, some w opened edges, but overall, the print is beautiful, each piece is a perfect fit and had NO missing pieces.
I like fixing things, so a small brush of white glue fix the problem. It is not a deal breaker, I like the texture and feel of the pieces.
The cardboard is fresh, and providing a poster is a plus. I just wish their puzzles would arrive on a ziplock bag and the box had a tamper seal, not hot glue as it rips the box when trying to open it.
Buffalo Puzzles are my go to for relaxing...especially Charles Wysocki puzzles. My aunt and I like the 300 to 500 piece puzzles. A 300 piece will take an hour for us to do. A 500 piece will last 8 hours. Its fun.
Buffalo Games has a lot of really cool puzzle images. One of my favorites is San Francisco with the two trolley's running up and down a street. It's called "San Francisco Commute."
They make so many per day because Buffalo puzzle pieces suck! The images peel off the edges of the pieces, a ton of the pieces are still stuck together when you get it, they're thin....just awful. Go with a Ravensburger or Educa if you actually want a decent puzzle.
"...there will be a robust demand for a long time to come..."
As soon as the pandemic is over most of these "new customers" are going back to their normal lives and will drop die-cut gramma puzzles like a hot rock. Don't squander this opportunity. Invest and innovate with highly desirable products to retain and wow these people by stimulating their minds in new ways. You can start by updating your bland package design. Otherwise you face the same fate as your namesake.
Why do I have to watch a commercial before I watch a commercial?
Just wondering.
After covid?
Not quite.
