Frustrating due to cheap and missing/duplicate pieces.....was fun til I noticed the problems.

This is an extremely hard puzzle because so much of the land, buildings, water and sky look alike. I'm spending most of my time with about 200 pieces of near identical shades of color trying to figure out how they go. About as frustrating as a pure white puzzle with no picture. The other problem is, lots of the pieces will randomly fit together and are close in color and you have to look with just about a magnifying glass to see that it's the wrong piece.

None of my pieces were damaged and the picture itself is beautiful and the pieces seem thick and high quality. But this is a very hard puzzle and I see it taking me a month or more (that's if my kid or my cats don't eat a random piece before I can get it finished.)

*update* July 10th - so I'm down to less than 20 pieces to match. I'm very obviously missing pieces and discovering especially in the blue parts many pieces either don't fit right or are too close to fitting like others so getting one wrong throws off the entire puzzle.
I'm missing one piece in the houses and it seems like I have extra sky pieces. Very disappointed. This took so long to put together, now I can't even return it.

*update* July 16th - I sent Buffalo Games a support ticket asking if I could get a replacement, or a credit or something because of the missing pieces and they've just ignored me. So I won't be buying anymore items from Buffalo Games and could never recommend them.

This is a fun puzzle game.  I expecially like the Stack Jack game.  However, everytime I get to the higher levels on that game it locks up and causes my DS to make a loud screeching sound.  It sounds like, from other reviews I've read, that this is a common problem. It's too bad because that is the best game in the bunch. Overall, I thought it was good game for the money until I discovered the programming problems. That has ruined it for me.

Great game but low quality components pains me every time I play this game. Some gem stickers on cheap plastic tokens are not even centered. You can see white plastic stretch marks on the side of tokens. Insert is so weak, it's already crumpled when I unboxed the game.

The puzzle was fun to put together. No missing pieces. But many of the pieces don't fit well together.

Cheap quality clasp that kept falling open so got a replacement because my wife otherwise liked them.  Opened the replacement today to find most of the pieces missing!  Only the dark pearls were in the box - everything else was missing.  Returned for a refund.  This maker needs quality checks put in place!

Quality control is a huge issue with these, and I think the distributor realized it before shipping out.

If you saw these in the Disney store, you'll notice a few things:
-bent cannons (albeit rubber)
-blemishes (guaranteed no two will look the same)
-gaps in separate panels

Then you go home with what you thought was the best copy in the store and probably ran into:
-loose cannons (not to mention likely more bent than you thought)
-landing gears that don't stick
-wings that don't close nicely

And it sucks because otherwise this has awesome weight and detail. It really could've been the best example of Poe's X-Wing out there, but it's such a gamble to get a good copy...if such a thing exists. Nonetheless, glue kinda saved mine, so I'm rating it in the middle because it's still just $10 if you buy it in-store.

A lot cheaper priced than Lego, but we had 6 pieces missing and some malformed pieces too.  Looks like their injection molding needs some work.  Had to carve on some of the pieces with a knife to get them to snap together.  Instructions also had a few mistakes like showing the wrong number of pieces needed or showing the wrong piece altogether.  Attention to detail!  Pieces also do not snap together as nicely as Lego does.  Will not buy Mega Bloks ever again.

Fun but... the picture ( only picture) on the box did NOT match the puzzle... Bad

A piece was missing which was a bit of a downer.  Also the edges on the pieces could be crisper.  Especially since new puzzles cost so much.

Thank you.

A couple of printing flaws and one inclusion.  Fun set.

Cheap quality.. Was going to keep it anyway until we played our first game and realized we had two of the same domino and were missing another.. Will be returning and buying domino set without the cheap game pieces.. And hopefully it comes with all the pieces

It was a fun puzzle, but I bought it brand new and it was missing 4 pieces, and came with three additional pieces that didn't fit anywhere. I don't even know how that's possible.

I am going to contact the maker of this puzzle.  The pieces are TERRIBLE, they are not glued properly, fray up and split and two pieces are not even entirely cut apart so I have to leave them that way.  I want a new one because I am hoping it is just a fluke?  I love the Disney themes so I will see if they will replace it.

Love the picture and it was very fun to put together but 2 pieces were missing!  THat is so annoying!  Plus the quality of the puzzle is not great.

Was super excited to get this puzzle, as I bought it in a large order of around 10 or 11 puzzles, this was my favorite. Fast forward to me opening the box, only to have the contents loosely fall out, not in original packaging  (like the other puzzles I bought, same brand/type). I get almost finished and realize that there are 2 broken pieces, whether they got they way before shipping or during, who cares? If they'd have been in the bags, it probably wouldn't have happened. Utter disappointment.

Not only were two pieces missing right out of the box, including a corner piece, but there were two duplicate pieces.  The picture was enchanting and the unique shapes of the pieces were fun, but they fit together poorly and fell apart easily.

First of all the pirate ship was defined as clear, it was slightly lavender if you ask me, and no I'm not colorblind I just had my eyes checked today. Secondly, I've got a fairly large collection of these crystal jigsaw puzzles and this one has either been lubricated or it was meant for people with three sets of hands, you have the ship three quarters built and a slight breeze will turn it into a pile of loose parts, it was my understanding that these puzzles interlocked with no need for glue, the banks of cannons on the flanks of the ship first had to have the connectors cut off so they would fit, because there was no way they could fit into the slots allowed, and yes they are marked for left and right side, so the only way for them to stay on the sides of the ship was to glue them on. Ooops!! I was so involved with the bad design problems I didn't mention that when you are counting the pieces when you open the kit, to make sure that they are all there, check to make sure that none of them are broken, I had to return the first kit for a replacement, I must say that went poorly, I ended up paying a couple of dollars more because the only pirate ships that were available for replacement cost more. Also plan on gluing the sails in place. I know sails are supposed to blow in the wind, but that's on real ships, when you snapped the sails onto the masts of this puzzle they were so loose the would just spin around. Boy am I glad I waited until the prices went down (now I know why) or I really would have been bumbed. The prices are back up again, so if you really want to add this ship to your puzzle collection look around you'll probably find a lower price.
