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.

Very nice puzzle! Your review was a great addition. I like both versions, thanks for sharing. It looks like a great place to visit.

 

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.

Yes, you are correct, at one time using blank NFC tags was considered the best method.

The big difference is the little unit I described is ready to go, the only thing you need to know is the amiibo number for the character you want if you do not want to edit the file names. They have a chart with pictures to look up the character, but it follows the same as the regular amiibo. For example, Avery is 140, you scroll down to AC 101 -200 and in that folder select AC 140.bin and hold the unit near the pro controller and it calls Avery. It is really fast at Harvey's Island doing group pictures.

I think they have every amiibo currently available already in this newest system, but I only know about ACNH , and it seems complete . I have no experience with the amiibo characters for the other games, we only play ACNH.

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.

Nice, thanks for sharing!

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.

[–] jeljr 2 points 2 months ago

Nice work! I saw that on sale at Amazon but thought it might be a little too hard for me.

 

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

[–] jeljr 2 points 2 months ago

Very nice picture!

 

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)

[–] jeljr 1 points 3 months ago

I was hoping to find a cheap Halloween puzzle and happy when this showed up for $6.99 as one of those special limited time sale prices on Amazon, it's not the best quality, similar to Master Pieces, but not bad for that price.

Nothing made morning break at work better than coffee with a good creme filled, chocolate cover donut

On edit, I guess it was custard filled, similar to that in an eclair, or creme puff, eclairs and creme puffs were too expensive and harder to get. I miss being able to eat sweet things

 

If I had known the Americana style puzzle supply would dry up at the local thrift shops, I would have kept more than I did for our personal collection. Americana puzzles are probably my favorite, and both Charley Wysocki and his brother Heronim created a lot of Americana artwork.

TCG licensed the picture 2017 . I suspect TCG made the puzzle for sale as a tourist item, the magnetic close box is really nice. TCG makes Sure Lox, and the puzzle seemed like a Sure Lox. I also found a Montpelier in Kodak puzzles, but their picture is cropped differently.
