I SO badly want to give this puzzle 5 starts, and I genuinely wish I could. The image and packaging is stunning, the detail is incredible, so far from what I can tell the pieces fit snugly and the material is excellent quality and sturdy. Unfortunately ALL of this is overshadowed by the fact that there seems to be this film on about 20% of the pieces that is lifted and peeling. It's kind of sticky and makes a mess everywhere. And in the places where it's lifted/peeled away it leaves this residue behind that somewhat clouds the shiny foiled parts of the pieces. It's really disappointing, because this was so close to being my absolute favorite puzzle in my collection. My onky other complaint is that it also doesn't come with a reference picture, so you'll have to go off the picture on the box, which is a little annoying, but I would have gladly overlooked that if not for this one big quality control issue.

This was excellent. I'm not sure how it compares to other puzzles, but this is excellent art, with a lot of love put into it. Took forever to put together alone, which I guess is the point. Great puzzle. Read more
