5.0 out of 5 stars Fun puzzle!, May 12, 2007

This review is from: Ravensburger Neuschwanstein Castle - 1500 Piece Puzzle (Toy)

It took me about two-three weeks to finish it. Not much educational, but it helps developing logic.
Pieces match perfectly!
Somewhat had troubles finishing black areas of the puzzle (you have them in every corner of the puzzle).
It would be helpful if there is a larger picture of the puzzle (how it will look completed) - that would help with assembling the forest around the castle.
But overall, this puzzle is manageable, and the quality of the picture and the pieces are amazing.
I highly recommend this puzzle.

This puzzle is quite a challenge. Not for the beginner. Yet not impossible. Its tricky and it has challenged me beyond any puzzle that I've done. The picture is beautiful and I know I will feel quite accomplished when I've finished it.

This review is from: Ravensburger Neuschwanstein Castle - 1500 Piece Puzzle (Toy)

I had a good time putting this puzzle togehter. It is a moderately challenging puzzle especially the sky, mountains and the forest areas of it. Took me about a week of spending a couple hours a day to put this together. THe only thing I didn't like is the pieces don't lock together so it's hard to move a fixed piece to a different work area.
