Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I started sorting out the edge pieces and found the 4 corners, and realized two were duplicate pieces, I had a very bad feeling about this puzzle. By the time we put the last piece in place, we were staring at a comical moth eaten tapestry of a picture...a grand total of 129 pieces of the puzzle were missing. In an ironic addition of insult to injury there were 8 pieces in the box that were duplicates of others. It might have made some kind of twisted mathematical sense if that still didn't leave 121 pieces unaccounted for if you were only going by raw numbers...but the box promised 1000 pieces and it did not deliver. I'm not sure how this happens. I'd assume that at any reputable puzzle factory, the One Commandment would be "put all the pieces in every box"...not "put most of the pieces in...and sweep up whatever you find on the floor". Considering the hours you have to invest in a 1000 piece puzzle, running out of pieces before you finish is more than a little disappointing. In all honesty, I won't be buying another puzzle from Buffalo Games.
