How's the quality of Master Pieces? I've never heard of the brand before
Master Pieces has a lot of budget puzzle. The quality of the 300 and 500 piece puzzles are better than the 1000 . The quality of Master Pieces is similar to CEACO, close to Buffalo but not as good. Master Pieces uses unusual shapes, but unlike Bits & Pieces keeps the border pieces pretty easy to identify. If they were identical in size and price, I would choose Buffalo over Master Pieces, but Master Pieces is usually cheaper. Master Pieces is so close to CEACO in quality and price I choose whatever is on sale.
Oh I had one of those unusual shapes ones before and it was so hard to find the border pieces and honestly was just not enjoyable at all. Maybe I need to level up 😄 Thanks for the info, I'll keep an eye out. It's nice to have a budget 300 piece option for a quick one.
Bits and Pieces have the most difficult border pieces, but Springbok and I think SunsOut have unusual shapes as well. We buy Bits and Pieces because they some times have box sets at good prices. You posted Ravensburger, they are always good quality, and I only remember one I did not like, it was too dark.
