Nice, it looks challenging, especially with the missing pieces

 

This appears to be a startup company with only 1 jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle quality is very good, with nice, thick, tight fitting pieces, almost no dust or glare. I am sure the $6 price range will change or the seller will go out of business.

I could pick this puzzle up and hold it at arms length when is was finished.

It was marked in the back if you wanted to sort it to 6 smaller puzzles

It did take a little effort to get started but after a few sections were completed it got much easier. Needless to say I recommend buying this puzzle on Amazon (US) while it can still be purchased at a good price, the last I looked it was still less than $7

I like the puzzle : we often buy puzzles by Sure-Lox , not because it is good quality puzzle, but usually cheaper than most.

Grandpa from New Home coming to visit..?.

Interesting setup, I did see a few empty spots in the row of bags with bells, so I added a few (not much of a donation)

Not many active posters here.

My wife and I play ACNH every day, she has a NH island and I have a SH island that I restart often . I think Feb 4 is the last restart, but I time traveled to Jan 1, 2025. We are into the basics, last evening my wife caught 29 dorados (15k bells each) on a mystery island, today we got the new Residential Services building and now she has 40 pocket spaces , so she will be trying it again to see if she can get 39 . The first couple weeks on a new island are my favorite part of the game.

This style of pictures is my favorite for jigsaw puzzles, and as you say it sure does seem like "those were the days"

 

Charles Wysocki : Large Pieces : Buffalo Games

May be a little too easy for some, but great for new people or those with limited dexterity and or eye sight

Looks good!

 

This was not an easy puzzle, it took much longer than usual. Springbok uses unusual shapes and needs a little extra effort to push some of the pieces together, but is not a fragile puzzle once together.

No name on the box, but I found the same puzzle on Ebay with an address that led to Edaron:

Edaron, Inc. was founded in 1974. The Company's line of business includes the manufacturing of Puzzles and Games for adults and children.

In 2020 Edaron partnered with Buffalo games and became Edaron LLC.

Edaron LLC. operates in the United States.

That is a difficult question for me because most companies that make puzzles, make fantasy and science fiction puzzles, some times they use similar pictures. I do not know of any particular website that specializes in Sci-fy and fantasy puzzles. Maybe Buffalo puzzles for a reasonably priced, mediocre puzzle would be a good place to start. They have puzzles made in USA and China, both are similar quality but a little different. We live in USA and often find good deals on Amazon. Buffalo also owns Ceaco and the Ceaco Silver Selection is the same as the Buffalo Silver Selection, only difference is the name. There are higher quality puzzles that cost more , for example Ravensburger is a higher quality, but cost more. Let us know what you find and please consider sharing pictures of your completed puzzles.

If you have the completed puzzle picture you can do an image search on Google, some times it will show you the exact puzzle you are looking to find.

 

This is from our personal collection, do it about one time a year. The trees and snow are more challenging than I prefer but overall a good puzzle.

We found this at a local thrift shop, missing 1 piece but I still enjoyed working on it.

NFC Emulators (self.acnh)

We have been using amiibo cards for two years but recently learned about the newer NFC emulators, we are experimenting with the newest model from joysfusion.com and really like it with ACNH

https://joysfusion.com/codenames/ lists the amiibo characters

It lists all the files as numbers, but you can edit the filenames to list villagers by name. We have not tried to add amiibo .bin files and have not tried using it on other games. Updating requires windows Chrome browser (can be run in a VM ) and Bluetooth 4.0 or more. We did have trouble getting the Bluetooth to pair, but did get it. They use a web page, to pair and edit the files, but you can download the complete webpage from a link on their discord channel, if you want to work offline. It is about $40 US on Amazon, a fraction of what we paid for our amiibo card collection

ON EDIT:

The unit is small and seems fragile, it may not be a good choice for children that are rough with their toys.

 

I could not resist this sale priced puzzle, not the best quality but OK for the price.

 

This is from 2017 when Ceaco puzzles were made in USA and a little different than those made today in China for Buffalo. I can't say they are better, just different type cut and thickness.

 

Not my favorite style, but not a bad "budget priced" puzzle at a nearby outlet.

 

I found this on a bargain bin for $0.99 (US) at a nearby outlet store, pretty good quality for less than $1.00 (new)

 

Loose, poor fitting puzzle, needed to redo several sections (became very frustrating)
