Well this is somewhat out of the ordinary- I'm posting on a day that isn't Saturday morning! 

But there is a reason- it's May the Fourth- and as any self-respecting fan knows, that means it's Star Wars Day! 

The above puzzle is my contribution to the day. 

May the Fourth be with you!

Star Wars: A Very Vader Christmas

Brand: Buffalo

Pieces: 300
Size: 54cm x 38cm
Product Code:  92500-2803

OK I did it. 

I just couldn't help myself.

In my own flimsy self-defence, I didn't have any other Christmas-themed puzzles in my photo collection that I could put up, but the fact that I've done two in a row of Buffalo, Star Wars and piece count is a little bit sad. 

You'll just have to show some Christmas spirit and forgive me for it! Haha 

I'll have to make sure I have some more Christmas puzzles in my collection before December rolls around next year...

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas- the next time I post will be in the year 2021 so I hope you also have a safe and happy New Year!

Keep puzzling!

Star Wars: Darth Vader

For once I'm relatively organised when it comes to posting for an 'event'! 

In two days it will be May 4th (Star Wars Day for all you non-geeks out there) and so, in anticipation (and because I only post here and on Instagram on Saturdays) I I have decided to put up a puzzle of Darth Vader that I absolutely love. The colours and the design are incredible and it's a perfect pairing with the Yoda puzzle (also by Buffalo) that I have put up previously. Illustrated designs like these really appeal to me and I wish that I could draw or create nearly as well. 

The above puzzle had relatively large and thick cardboard pieces and took a bit longer to do than I anticipated, due to the similar colours. But you have to admit that the end result is pretty spectacular.

I have a few more Buffalo branded puzzles to do in the future- Star Wars with a Christmas theme- and I can't wait to showcase those when we get closer to December. 

Until then, May the Fourth be with you! ;)

Star Wars Saga

Brand: Ravensburger
Pieces: 500
Size: 49 x 36cm
Product Code:  146659

In a few weeks, the latest film from the Star Wars  franchise will be released- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. While this film is not part of the official saga, it acts as a prequel of sorts, setting up the storyline for the epic space adventure films that we all know and love.

In anticipation of this release, I decided to do a puzzle that commemorates the first six films. Produced by Ravensburger, this puzzle features iconic imagery from the previous films (although not the seventh installment, The Force Awakens) as well as the infamous villain Darth Vader. 

With a lot of black pieces, I thought this puzzle would be more challenging than it actually was. But in true Ravensburger quality style, there were varying gradients in the colours, which made the process of piecing the puzzle together a lot easier. Add to that the high-quality interlocking and there was no chance you could fail. It only took me a couple of hours to complete this puzzle, and the results are pretty spectacular.

This is a fantastic commemorative design and any jigsaw puzzle fans who enjoy the Star Wars saga are also sure to enjoy the imagery set out in this puzzle.
