Jigsaw Puzzles

to anyone out there who cares about puzzle (im bored anyway), here are some tips on how to buy puzzles..


1. For a 1000 pieces puzzle it will weigh roughly 1 kg to 1.5 kg.. DO NOT buy the ones lighter than that.. All you will get is pieces that will fall off easily and not joined together even when put together...


2. A very good quality puzzle, once done, you can actually carry it up with both hands on opposite sides in one piece.. i personally tried one 200 pieces and 500 pieces of both Disney characters, and both did not fall off.. A good quality will stick together when carry while a few by the sides will fall off.. That's is still consider good... A bad one can never join together...


3. A very good quality 1000 pieces puzzle can cost up to RM 100 ~ 200 as stated in a shop that i love to visit... Jigsaw Puzzle World.. There are many kinds also, 3D and small pieces.. Animes is getting in the hype there.. Puzzles are a little bit pricey so please do make sure not to spend too much.. You can reassemble it after doing it again and again and again (just don't lose the pieces to the mean vacuum cleaner and black holes under cupboards and sofas)..


4. Lastly, when you get a good brand stay with it, sometimes quality can change but why risk? I recommend Clementoni but most of it are Disney's..


p/s: this may be an irony to number 1 but some heavy ones are due to the box or thicker pieces but they don't stick together anyway.. Some light ones stick together but the box is light.. So, for this, you have to rely on your skills in looking at the packaging.. shake it a bit and well, see the price of course.. you never try, you never know..


Have Fun!!
