Star Wars - The Mandalorian - The Child - 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

Bought this puzzle as part of our COVID-19-things-to-do since we cannot go out. It was a fun, challenging puzzle. I definitely underestimated how long a 500 piece puzzle would take. In total I spent about 2 days on it, working on it throughout breaks in the day when nothing was going on.The most challenging part of the puzzle are the darker areas of the armor. Individually many pieces look similar in shade until you get them placed. I got to the point near the end when I had to take the few remaining pieces and try in each available place. LOL And there are many pieces that you think "fit" but it's not the perfect fit that you get when it's the right piece. When I read the reviews of a small remainder of pieces that don't fit it makes me think that those people accidentally placed a piece that "fit" but was not the perfect fit.Seriously good fun. I wish these puzzles weren't so expensive or I'd buy more. But all 500 piece puzzles with good designs are at this price point so I guess that is the market value. I haven't had the heart to dismantle my puzzle yet, but I will... soon.

I preordered mine and it arrived in a padded envelope, the box was undamaged. Took me maybe 4-6 hours to put together, there were no missing pieces but should you find any you should be able to get replacement pieces for your puzzle from the manufacturer. The image is artistic (think similar to the end credits images) and not a photograph, that means there are a lot of stylistic lines and edges and with so many similar color tones it can be a little challenging to put together. The pieces fit well together, no loose movement and there was very little puzzle dust. I like this puzzle and hope they put out more of the child, maybe one where he is using the force or eating the frog. *hint* Considering the color tones in this puzzle I'm glad it wasn't a larger puzzle.

I love the puzzle size and the picture

Probably the most lit and productive thing I've done in my spare time during these times of quarantine.10/10 would recommend this puzzle for people looking for something to do indoors that doesn't involve staring at a TV or video games all day.Moderate level of difficulty ~I did the puzzle alone, took roughly 6 hours (unsure if that's fast or slow, maybe I'm not the quickest puzzle assembler - still felt pretty good about myself though)Easy to put baby yoda together as well as the sky, but due to the pixel quality of the puzzle, it was a bit tricky and time consuming putting the Mandolorian guy together because almost his entire back and helmet are the same speckled colors.Since we realistically don't have a whole lot going on in our free time nowadays, this puzzle was worth the time/challenge, and fun! Will order more puzzles in the near future.Stay safe and wash your hands everyone!!~Fin~

Look, we all know we're buying this for The Child and nothing else. (Well, plus a love of puzzles if you've got it, which I do, almost as much as my love for my baaaabyyyy.) Yes, it is not the best picture, especially for a puzzle, and the picture quality was almost laughable and made the puzzle more difficult to do, but come on, we love baby yoda so we must have the baby yoda puzzle. That said, I was worried with other reviews that this would have missing or wrong pieces. I was also CONVINCED many times that my puzzle was missing pieces. The problem is, some pieces will match up when they're not meant to--as in the pieces fit regardless of what's on them, so due to the poor image quality with lots of vague color splotches, you may put a piece in the wrong place and later wonder why a bunch don't fit at the end. I had to remove a piece I was sure was in the right spot to get the last 8 pieces to fit. I've never really experienced that with a puzzle, so I say to those who say theirs had the wrong pieces--I believe you, but you may have just been in a similar situation of pieces fitting that didn't belong together. (You know, like good-on-paper relationships that just don't work in real life.) Still, all in all, I had a good time putting this puzzle together. I just do wish they'd make a cooler Mandalorian puzzle that has all the characters in crisp colorful form.

Was a little tricky to do but we had a great time doing it.

Not only is this puzzle exciting as a Mando fan but also as a Star Wars fan! I couldn’t wait to get started on it! Once I opened it and started piecing together the “outer rim” 😂 I was DELIGHTED to find that the puzzle pieces were a great size, not to big and not to small! Once I started on filling it in, I was MORE excited to find that it was challenging without being maddening!! Total spent 4 hours straight puzzling with a few smoke breaks. All in all, a GREAT puzzle for one person, or a family!!!! Put on some Star Wars or Mando and you have yourself a heck of an evening in!!!! Recommend d to all!
