Ravensburger The Earth 540 Piece 3D Puzzle - Engaging Fun for Kids and Adults | Precision Fit with Easy Click Technology | Durable Displayable Model | Celebrating Over 130 Years of Quality

I have done 3D puzzles before and this one is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade. Here's why: - made of thick, rigid plastic. I have only done the ones that are the thick cardboard with the grid edges. This one, however, is excellent quality, thick and rigid plastic - easy to put together because every piece has a number and arrow behind it. The numbers can be assembled in pieces, and the arrow shows you which part the next piece goes into! Very cool! If you are a parent who goes overboard with the education part and wants your kid to solve that without the numbers, just keep the pieces face up, and you can solve it like a regular puzzle - the stand comes with it, attaches very easily, is sturdy, looks great - the size of the puzzle is great. It is not too large to dominate a room, but not too small where it would get lost in the noise. It will sit nicely on a desk or atop a bookshelf. - once assembled, it looks awesome and will stay together without glue - overall, I was impressed with the quality, ease of use and the final product once we finished the puzzle. I bought this for my 12-year-old and it was a great project to do together

This is so fun!! It was a gift for my son for Christmas and he LOVES. It! It’s sturdy and stays together very well. Clear instructions and satisfying to put together. He now wants the whole solar system 😜

This was my nephew’s first 3D puzzle attempt. He loved it. We separated all the numbers by 100s first in piles. Then, each pile set we sorted in order. He put it together with almost no help once he did the first few and understood. The numbers and arrows on each piece show which piece is next and where it goes on. He is in first grade. With adult help/supervision, this age or older can do it. It came out really nice. He enjoyed assembling it. Having a globe made by him displayed, and one that he can use is very cool! Highly recommend for a project to spend time with a child who enjoys puzzles, or for anyone who enjoys them! There is no glue needed it holds well together. Very happy with product.

If you like the challenge of solving a jigsaw puzzle, this one doesn't have that. The pieces are numbered and you have to just place them in order starting from 1. However it's still a nice little activity and gift that's a bit different than a regular jigsaw puzzle and you can place it on a table or somewhere to create a memory.

I really enjoyed this type of puzzle. It was numbered inside so it was easy to put together. Didn’t have to figure out which piece goes next to what. Also when finished I got a cool looking globe out of doing a puzzle. Pretty fun.

This cool globe gives some fun to the curious kid. The pieces are of good quality and perfectly match.

This puzzle ball has led me down the dark path. It started it all. I now have six puzzle balls, 1 pyramid, 1 vase, and 1 jar completed...and another ball and pyramid on the way. I think my original ravensburger globe is still my favorite (may be replaced by the antique ravensburger that is on its way from ebay). I've completed three 540 ravensburger balls, one 240 ball, and one 240 pyramid and they are high quality. The pieces click very well together. Sometimes they stick a bit, but use the non-rotating stand as a brace to force them to click nicely and they'll stay better. I've also found on some of the larger balls it helps to do them twice, once from 1-540 and the second from 540-1 and then the finished puzzle will be smoother (as you get towards the end you can only use your fingers to push the pieces together, without the additional leverage they don't always go in smooth). This is one of the best puzzle balls you can get. You can find globes by other companies, but they don't include the spin stand and they just aren't as high of quality. You can find this exact puzzle from 3rd party sellers, but with all puzzles you want to make sure it hasn't been opened so you aren't missing pieces. All my puzzles (so far) have been sealed and not one has a missing piece.

I do a lot of puzzles, but this was the first 3D one I’d ever done. It was easier than I had expected, taking a total of about 3-4 hours to complete. However, it was still a ton of fun. I started by separating the pieces out on trays, sorting them by number in groups of 100. I did the bottom part (pieces 1-100) using the numbers so I could get a hang of how the pieces went together and then tried to do the rest of it like a normal puzzle, ignoring the numbers. I only had to result to using the numbers a few times. I was thinking that I’d have to put a layer of glue over it after I was done to use it as a display piece/functional globe, but I was pleasantly surprised by how durable it is. The thick plastic pieces snap together perfectly, making it almost impossible to break apart once its assembled. The stand is very nice and sturdy as well. Overall, great puzzle and lots of fun!

とても良い

Puzzle is easy to fix and good quality, really enjoyed seeing the globe form into shape. Some country/city names are not aligned but it is okay in general. Great puzzle to fix and would recommend.

Al llevar las fichas numeradas, las personas mayores suelen encontrar divertida la mínima dificultad de tener que encajar en el lugar adecuado e ir dando forma a la bola del mundo. Es un número razonable de piezas que mantiene la habilidad manual y hace pensar un poco, divertido. Para alguien que se plantee un reto más complicado, basta con montarlo sólo basándose en la foto. Lo recomiendo!!

Ayant découvert ce nouveau type de puzzle 3D au moment de noël avec le "Taj Mahal", Arc de triomphe et Phare de la marque Ravensburger, j’étais content de ce type de puzzle mais avec une déception dû a un nombre de pièces peu nombreuses pour les modèles cité (216 en général) qui pour moi, était plus de la maquette que du puzzle, car trop de grosse pièces plastiques à coté des pièces puzzle. J'ai trouvé celui en cherchant un peu dans ce type de puzzle 3D, et je ne suis pas déçu du tout, il comporte 540 pièces numérotées au dos de chacune d'elles. J'ai trouvé plaisir à trier et préparer les pièces ainsi que de les assembler. Une fois monté, c'est très solide et avec un recul de 2/3 mètres on ne dirait jamais un puzzle mais plutôt une mappemonde normale. Les plus: - pièces en plastique très bien numérotées - démontage possible sans casse (pour stocker au cas ou....) - très très bonne qualité de l'ensemble, que ce soit les pièces puzzle ou le support. - emballage parfait, tout est en sachet separé - pièces qui tiennent hyper bien entrent elles Les moins: - assemblage de fin (fermeture du globe) pas forcement facile pour tout le monde - écriture des différents pays est tout petit, faut pas compter rechercher quelques chose dessus ;o)) Voila mon avis.... (Une fois celui-ci monté, j'ai acheté la même en vintage ainsi que la game of thrône) En attente que Ravensburger crée un puzzle 3D avec beaucoup de pièces

Puzzle 3D della terra ben fatto. Pezzi molto resistenti. Facile da montare (bambino di 10anni, ca. 1h). Il puzzle terminato è veramente bello e funzionale. Consigliato come regalo
