10:23 - I like that category of puzzle too! The first jigsaw of that type I remember was the World's Fair 1964/65 panoramic view of all the exhibits (some proposed). The artwork is dated 1961!
LOVE your vintage finds!!
I am in love with every second of this video. I would only ask for 100 more collection talks. Okay, 200 then. I do love a good puzzle but using them to discuss cultural history is genius. Very fun! P.S. My to-do list is very close to your total. Yikes!
And I’m afraid I’ve not done a very good job of shrinking my To Do stack, so there may be another video like this coming soon 😆😆
I sure enjoy your enthusiasm and knowledge -- hope you continue making videos!
3:27 - More than one gradient; *that* would be interesting to solve!
hello hello. great stack of puzzles to do! Loved seeing your mom and sis get in on your love for puzzles!
I got my love of puzzling from Mom 👍
Scored an unopened Charley Harper at Goodwill last weekend. Pretty exciting!!
It’s the best feeling in the world 😁
Wow, so many lovely puzzles. My favorites were the Saturn rings, the lady in green and the desert flora, in no particular order. Thanks for this video, it was fun
I’m so glad you said the rings of Saturn, I think it’s totally rad and no one seems to be as into it as I am!
The Breughel is tough, but so pretty. The Piatnik card puzzle is fun, too.
Hi Dan!! New sub coming over from The Casual Puzzler :) That piece in a piece puzzle is crazy!!
Welcome! Yes I’m hoping to do a video for that one very soon - it’s so strange!
You have some great puzzles! I don't think there's such a thing as too many puzzles! 😅
Right, I don’t need fewer puzzles, I just need more hours in the day😆😆
@@puzzlephile Exactly!!!
Fun video. I have a some of the same puzzles! I’m beginning to collect vintage cartoon character puzzles, but any puzzle with a bicycle or view of San Francisco are must buy’s.
I don’t do Instagram so will follow you on RUclips.😁
I also love a puzzle with a bicycle - I don’t know why, they’re just so appealing!
im not big on solid colors and puzzles without an actual image. I prefer outdoor and landscape scenes but i really like that raindrop gradient one!
It is incredible how much avid puzzlers have in common: a to do pile, more than one puzzle build out, and always being on the lookout for the next great puzzle. 🧩. You have a great and varied to do list. I am interested in the playing cards puzzles for a video. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yes...and the playing cards!!!
The playing cards are definitely happening soon 👍👍
No, you do not have a problem. Just get some really nice and waterproof storage bins to put them in. Then rotate out your puzzles based on what works for you.
I do mine according to seasons and holidays. This is mostly because of a stupid issue of me not being able to do summer puzzles during winter or not being able to do holiday puzzles unless I am doing them during the month the holiday is in. I know it is stupid and to get panic attacks and so upset if not done that way. It is absolutely ridiculous!!
But it does allow for me to have a nice rotation. So that despite having a couple 100 puzzles I am able to do all of them! Even the new ones I seem to get every few months!
Good taste in puzzles I must say. Looking forward to more videos from you in the future. You should definitely get your sister in some videos. I would love to see you puzzle against or with each other 🤩🧩 Greetings from Norway🏔
I love pomegranate puzzles, especially the ones by Edward Gorey
I've had my eye on those too!
Hi! I love your videos, I work at puzzle warehouse right now and have shipped out some of the puzzles you talked about in this video. I am a puzzler myself and have done the charley harper ones and the 2000 piece rainbow droplet one! Galison is my favorite brand because of their images ❤❤
Wow, what a great job! You must know all the best puzzles!!
It's like not working at all! I get to talk about and be around puzzles all day, it's amazing!
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. Ravensburger is my absolute favorite toys/games/puzzles company.
I was surprised to recognize some of the 1980s puzzles from when I was in high school.
I no longer do puzzles but am going to enjoy seeing your videos! New sub after I comment :)
Love a Ravensburger, you can’t go wrong. I sometimes pick up a thrift store Ravensburger even when I don’t like the image because I know I’ll enjoy it anyway!
I like the teacups and the Art Nouveau ladies, though that one looks quite challenging!
Agreed, I’m a little nervous about it 😬 - hoping to get to it over the summer and hoping it won’t be too rough 🤞🤞
I have that same Piatnik playing card puzzle -- it's a bit scary but I also look forward to it. I'd really like to find a copy of the vintage Springbok!
Great trift store finds!
I’m very fortunate to have a couple FANTASTIC thrift stores nearby
I love that 2000 Springbok "Colors of Money" one. I think I've done it 2 or 3 times. I didn't know it was out of print though! I'll make sure to keep it in my collection! :)
The pieces are so unexpectedly beautiful, I can’t wait to finally build it - other projects keep getting in the way!
Dealers delight looks so cool
The flower themed puzzles are beautiful! I need to find rhe Desert Flora.
ETA: Pomegrante puzzles are fantastic. You have so many beautiful Pomegrantes. I had never seen one before picking up Untitled bu Edward Gorey which is a gothic theater scene. Loved it!
I’ve had my eye on their Edward Goreys… but they look difficult!
great video! Iwas really big into puzzles 2 to 3 years ago, had a family tradegy and kinda got away from doing them now Ive gotten back into them! I did have a bad habit though of throwing away the original boxes and glueing together the finished ones. Kinda wished i kept the boxes now i have no idea what the image is on any of them haha
Glad you're getting back into them! What's the biggest one you've done?
I did the eurographics puzzle a few months ago and it really wasn't that bad. The puzzle piece shapes make it easier to put together too!
Ok that’s good to know. It’s so beautiful, I don’t want it to stay in the To Do stack forever because I feel intimidated by it!
Hi. Found you via The Casual Puzzler. I have over 200 puzzles in my “to do” stack but it is so very hard not to purchase new ones.
Whoa! I have so much trouble choosing which puzzle to do next, I can’t imagine having to decide between 200!! 😆
Great stack of puzzles. I want to try Liberty puzzles as well, but my to do pile, is well - quite huge 🤣
Why are we all like this?? 😆
I’ve got a pomegranate art piece puzzle and it wasn’t my favorite…very similar color tones. It’s Fredric, Lord Leighton Captive Andromache. I tried to sort by color as it should’ve had blues, greens, black, white, pink…and it felt like a sea of beiges.
I did complete it, but it did not stay in my keep pile.
I also have that charley Harper bird one. Much more enjoyable. My friends kids did it too.
That’s my fear about the Bruegel puzzle 😬
Just looking at the thumbnail automatically says yes you do have too many puzzles but apart from that yes it's a good video keep up the good work
I did the vintage Springbok cards puzzle and really enjoyed it. I bought it at a thrift store and luckily it was in mint condition. I own the Piatnik cards puzzle but haven’t done it yet. I would love to see a video on that one. Thanks.
I’m really looking forward to tackling those ones, should be happening very soon
I’d also love to see the Greatest Jigsaw Puzzle of all Time being completed. I just got that one. I am enjoying your videos. They are informative and entertaining.
Well you certainly have a big pile of jigsaws to do and a good variety too. It's quite difficult to resist buying more jigsaw puzzles. 🙂 I find that I have over 6o puzzles to do albeit some are still in the post. I don't keep many, just special ones plus my Wentworth wooden ones. The rest all go to a jigsaw exchange held at my local church hall. I don't have the space to keep all the jigsaws I do. I keep a list of puzzles that I have done so that I don't buy one I have already done.
I need to find a puzzle exchange near me… or maybe start one 🤔
I have that Piatnik card puzzle & it always looked scary. would love to see you do that & maybe I'll get over the fear! meg
I just saw that @vickymakesandbuilds has it in a 6000-piece version - now that’s really scary!
@@puzzlephile yikes!!
I have 2 Liberty Puzzles; one small and a larger one that some pieces turn into a 3D birdhouse!
I love Charlie Harper, too. I have Beguiled by the Wild. I was actually sad that I finished the puzzle so fast out of sheer enjoyment. I plan to build it again. Pomegranate has high quality pieces, but they may have changed the piece thickness, as their Cakes & Pies is thicker than Ravensburger...but then other puzzles (most likely newer ones) are not.
I’ve seen some of those Liberty puzzles with the hidden 2nd solution - so cool! Some Things Are Scary is one on my puzzle wish list
The Pomegranate Monteverde puzzle was my personal Puzzle of the Year in 2000. It was nothing but joy. I just loaned it to my sister, but I will return to it someday.
I'm so excited to hear that - hoping to get to that one very soon!
LOVE the vintage ones!! Any tips for finding them?
Mostly I’m just making frequent visits to a lot of different thrift stores and hoping to get lucky. And I have ebay alerts set up for any I’m particularly looking for, so I will know right away if one pops up at a low price
Too many puzzles? Thats like too much chocolate, no such thing! Our to do list sits at just over 200, with a 13,000 and a 24,000 piece in the wings. We have done a 9,000, 18,000 and a 32,000 in the last 18 months. Love the thrift store ones best tho!
Wow! Makes me feel better about my 40-or-so 😆
Do you have a video for the yoga puzzle from Zenchalet?
Hi,
A couple of questions:
1- How much time does it take you to complete a 1000 piece puzzle?
2- Do you keep puzzles to do them again? If so, how often do you do it?
PS
The Pokémon one is really cool...but I prefer it with less pieces. I don´t remember but I know it is also sold as 1000 or 500.
PS1
Check out the puzzle titled THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS. It´s available as a 9000 and as a 2000. Maybe a 1000 too.
Ok, I’m going to respond in reverse order because I can’t BELIEVE you just brought up Garden of Earthly Delights! Just a couple weeks ago I was THIS CLOSE to buying Educa’s 9000, but then I read some reviews of it and apparently the image is fuzzy which does not sound fun in a 9000-piece! I would like to do the 2000 piece size though at some point
The Pokemon 5000 is definitely happening soon - stay tuned!
I do keep my favorites, but I wouldn’t usually want to revisit a puzzle until at least a year has passed. I need enough time to pass to forget everything about it
And as for time, it’s hard to say. I’m not fast and I don’t really try to be. I don’t usually time myself, although I’ve started doing it for my videos. And it definitely depends on the puzzle. I would say I expect to spend 5-8 hours on a typical 1000 piece. How about you?
@@puzzlephile I haven´t timed myself either. But it takes me an evening till the night. Next time I´ll do keep time.
As for the Garden of Earthly Delights they do sell it in a 2000 piece puzzle. As such, I´m sure the image won´t be blurry.
The 6000 piece Art Nouveau Times of the day is dreamy and I would LOVE to see that one done. Also the Charlie Harper Monteverde....oh and the woman in green ....that is going to be difficult but gorgeous+*++**++*. Of course the Dishes, Cobble Hill would make for a fun video. I guess you wanted one....who can choose just one??? :) :) Thanks for the great video-- Best @cantwaittopuzzle
That's how I feel - I'm ready to do all of them! I think it will be a couple months before I get to the 6000 piece unfortunately, but I'm so excited for that one
Times of the Day is a dream puzzle for me! I've had my eye on it, but it's soooo pricy. 😢
@@amanda_eff I got lucky and found one for a really good price - still not cheap but better than what they usually go for
There is no such thing as "too many puzzles". Love puzzle-alongs but they give me an excuse to search for more puzzles. Very dangerous! ⚠️. FYI there is a Pokémon puzzle-along coming up in June.
I saw that! I'm hoping to use that week to do my 5000-piece - need to build myself a giant puzzle board first 😆
Just found this video and your channel. Two of the events that you mentioned I would’ve loved to participate in. Will follow you on Instagram for future events.
I binge watched your videos while doing the 5,000 piece Pokemon puzzle. Lol
Awesome! How did you like the puzzle? I'm planning to start mine soon.
@@puzzlephile It is a great puzzle. It is my first high piece count puzzle, so I am adjusting to it. Lol My biggest complaint about it is the lack of more Pokémon on it. Why can’t it have all of the original 151? Maybe in the future.
@@kevinchambers4985 I was wondering that too! The puzzle is huge, there is definitely room for the rest!
How often do you get thrift store puzzles with missing pieces? What do you do when that happens?
It happens a lot more rarely than people expect, but it does happen from time to time. It doesn’t really bother me much - that’s the trade off for buying $2-4 puzzles! But I always try to put a note in the box for whoever gets the puzzle next
Too much of anything (no matter if you live it or not) is when you have things you can not care of.
Can you organize, clean, maintain and use what you have? So, it is ok.
My husband is an RPG/board game player, I have to always tell him that.
He had a game he got from his grandpa, he put in the cabinet and let it there. Resulr: it got destroyed. I told him how having things we do not care is the same as allow these things to be destroyed.
Now he maintain his collection under more control.
So true! It’s no good to have tons of puzzles that are just sitting in boxes, never to be solved. Hoping I can work my way through this stack, and not let it get so big in the future!
Butterfly spectrum took me forever, I never do 2 puzzles at the same time, but I needed a break, and completed another one, while going back and forth
I keep hearing that about Butterfly Spectrum! I do that too when I’m working a hard one, do some easier ones in between to break it up.
😂👍🏻🧩
Fantastic Video! You are so watchable and engaging. I think most of your puzzles are gorgeous and look like they will be fun to do...some look like a challenge. I saw a couple that I would like to try. I'm looking forward to when you finish and your reviews. Do you live close to OK - I think your accent says not...S
I'm most interested in one you didn't mention-the one from Ukraine. Of the ones you showed, it's hard to choose a favorite isn't it. Rings of Saturn, Charley Harper, Teacups, Cards, and Pokemon, what's that, about 9 puzzles? Get busy. Do you listen to music or books while you work or watch tv? I can't imagine total quiet
Thanks so much! I’m in New Orleans, but grew up in Massachusetts so I’m not sure what my accent sounds like now 😜
The Ukraine puzzle is Quatro City! It was in the mail when I made this video. I’m hoping to start that one very soon - not sure yet if I’ll be filming it for RUclips or just posting to my Instagram…
Sometimes I put on TV or RUclips while I’m puzzling, but it has to be something I don’t need to pay close attention to. But just as often I puzzle in silence and I like that too 😁
Hey buddy! Just a hint: be careful of what you announce on your channel as karen puzzles is flat out copying smaller channels. Seen it over and over. You make an announcement about future puzzles and she will post the exact same puzzle within days before you do it!
Awesome video but as much as I’m enjoying it, the name of your channel is so off putting that I’ve chosen to stop watching any longer.
