Started this new Masterpieces 550 puzzle. I feel like MasterPieces and Buffalo puzzles are similar in many ways - at least I often group them together in my mind. They both have those wonderful HUGE posters and they are fairly similar in cost. MasterPieces puzzle pieces are usually a tiny bit larger (I feel like?) for the same size puzzle. Buffalo pieces are higher quality overall, I think. I feel like there are more mis-fits with Buffalo puzzles than with Masterpieces, though. Both have interesting images that draw me in. I really love the Masterpieces Travel Diary series a lot. Buffalo has Charles Wysocki images and I do love so many of those. I pull out one of these brands when I am wanting something somewhat easy and engaging that won't require as much time on task. That usually means they're 550 pieces. Although I enjoy their 750 - there just aren't as many of those. I do 1000 pieces from these two companies as well, but so often choose White Mountain and Ravensburger and Cobble Hill and Gibsons for 1000 pieces. This is going to be a pleasant puzzle - very colorful. Image by Steven Morath.
Finished it up - it was a very pleasant diversion. All that food was fun to do - fruits and veggies. Very colorful puzzle. MasterPieces is mid level quality and so you just can't compare the piece quality to Gibsons or Ravensburger or White Mountain etc. But They are not usually bad quality. Just thinner pieces and a little bit bendy sometimes. But I really enjoy so many of Masterpieces images. This one included.
