Ravensburger Mickey as Artist Jigsaw Puzzle (5000 Piece)The Forest Stewardship Council

na

There's a lot of negative reviews showing damaged pieces. My set had quite a few also but it's not to be unexpected. The common thing that happens is peeling. This is an easy fix. I used some mod podge and a toothpick. Spread a little in between the layers and squeeze it together and it'll make the piece like new. This may also work with Elmer's glue but haven't tried. Don't hesitate and go for it. This was a great puzzle.

This puzzle is a great introduction for those casual puzzlers finally taking the plunge into the world of super puzzles. A 5000 piece puzzle is a daunting task no matter what, but this one eases the anxiety and fear of such a gargantuan task by having easily identifiable pieces, sections, and a clear path in how to proceed.The sheer size of the puzzle requires a lot of space in order to be able to sort out the pieces. We taped together two folding tables and had multiple sorting trays and boards in order to get it done.The pieces were of general good quality but we would have a liked a little tighter fit as we are accustomed to seeing with other Ravensberger puzzles. The puzzle pattern does repeat itself (as is common for puzzles of this size) but the characters and colors are so far apart and different that this never became a problemMost of the puzzle is pretty straight forward with the multiple frames and Dalmatians being the most difficult parts to assemble. We put it together as a family over a period of a month with someone putting in at least a few good hours every day.Overall I would say it was a great puzzle experience and if you’re the type to enjoy puzzles and have the necessary space required to work this large puzzle out, go ahead and go for it because you won’t be disappointed!!

Great challenge, not easy bust not that difficult, very good quality of pieces (as expected with Ravensburger brand), easy to handle and very colorful!

My daughter loves puzzles and I was excited to give this one to her!!! Unfortunately when it arrived, the shipping box was punctured and the puncture went thru the plastic and into the puzzle box. I can’t give it as a gift in that condition. Extremely disappointed

Great quality

The picture is well-designed for the scale. The rich details, textures and varied color palette ensured that it never really turned into a slog. (ok, the dalmatians came close...). There are no large regions of flat color... almost every piece has discernable texture, color, gradient or details that help set it apart.The one and only serious flaw with this puzzle is the size of the box. At 5000 pieces, the box is only a hair bigger than a 2000-piece puzzle box, and the pieces were packed in *very* tight. As a result, we had about a two dozen pieces with mashed corners or nubs, and one piece torn in a thin spot. I'm also pretty certain that I won't be able to get it back into the box when we're ready to take it apart unless I box it back up in flat sections. It was overflowing when I first dumped the bag loosely into the box.That one issue is very uncharacteristic of the otherwise excellent quality of their puzzles (and this one is no exception): good card stock, consistently clean-cut pieces, unique piece shapes, great image quality, etc.

By far the biggest puzzle I've ever completed. 5000 pieces sounds scary. But not so much when the puzzle is this enjoyable to look at. Me and my mom worked on this practically around the clock for nearly two weeks (10 days) across the holidays. Started on December 27th, finished on January 5th.At least one of us was working on it at any time of the day or night. Plenty of time working on it together, or working while one of us was sleeping. That's a memory I wont ever forget. We really rose up to the challenge and the accomplishments of solving those last few pieces was one of the most satisfying moments of my life.I have nothing negative to say about this puzzle. Shipping took a little while. I found out it ships from France. So, it came a long way to be assembled in our living room in South Carolina lol. The amazon box was the most battered box I've ever received from them, but the actual puzzle was undamaged.There was perhaps, a dozen or so puzzle pieces that came out of the box slightly bent. I was a little concerned about that but it still came together beautifully.It's quite a large puzzle. Enormous actually. So make sure you have plenty of space. If you want to step up to the challenge of a 5000 piece puzzle, this is a good one to start. There's really no large sections of one flat color to attempt to solve. The biggest struggle here like that is going to be the dalmatians. They are definitely the most difficult section.
