I just bought my ultimate holy grail puzzle

[@KarenPuzzles]

I just opened the ultra-rare Ultimate Jigsaw Puzzle! See what's inside and watch me solve it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn_MloifpbypZs0

[@LHSlash]

Only collecting that tower for 2 or 3 months doesn't really help your case as much as you think 😅

[@ps3udologue]

Haha I thought she was going to say 2 to 3 years! But, hey, at least it wasn't 2 to 3 weeks.

[@Reggie_la]

Sameee, I though she was gonna say "this last six months" or something, even then, THATS TOO MUCH

[@shannonhauser8610]

Depends on how fast she can go through this 😅 I have the feeling it wouldn't last 3 month 🤭

[@acmiller22]

Lol true. I wish I had her puzzle budget!

[@relativelypositive]

I've definitely said it before, but I really hope that one day you find a way to open a small puzzle museum with all these collections! It's always incredible to see these vintage puzzles being documents, collected, and shared with all of us to enjoy, appreciate, and experience, so thank you!

[@lindenm.9149]

Small museums are always a treat. Even display events at local rec centers are exciting!! ❤️❤️

[@drskelebone]

It could be next to the Anvil Museum! :D

[@theyxaj]

Out of all the puzzles, the Missouri one by Jerry is the coolest! The amount of work and thought and care that went into it, by a person doing it for the first time... that's just so cool and awesome! I've always wanted to create my own art for a puzzle, but I never even thought to make the whole puzzle myself, nor to make it physically and stylistically fit with an already existing puzzle. Ten Hundred's puzzle is also super impressive, and I love that it looks like it has a ton of details. For the "talking" puzzles, I'm really glad you got a "child's" version as well, because it'll be a good starter to see how the whole series works. And finally, the puzzle out of these pictured here that I would do first if I had them: Cats in Windows. I love cats!

[@erjusik]

I was thinking the same, such an incredible work!

[@protoman21]

Such a passion project! I'm so glad Karen was able to share it with a wide audience who would truly appreciate it

[@jason_man]

Only karen would be excited for a puzzle named "The Frustrator" 😂

[@crystalgarrard4388]

I was thinking the same thing 😂😂

[@pieceful_puzzling]

That tower of boxes is IMPRESSIVE!

[@KarenPuzzles]

You're first! Definitely didn't have an advantage sitting across the table from me 👀

[@brianfolsom9799]

🎶happy Sunday to you🎶 with all of the stacks of jigsaw puzzles you received, fun fun fun is the only(s) word to describe a stacked room filled boxes of puzzles. My birthday is just under 3 weeks away and there’s $160 + $10 coming to me🙂. Mom is sending me $10 because she said that the puzzles were to high-priced for her and no one can’t afford them. She also said $10 is enough birthday money for me. That will cover my gift. My mom (Nancy) lives in Dexter Maine. Well, it’s happy 36th birthday for me

[@amberbydreamsart5467]

Thank you for including that message from jerry!! that's such an amazing artistic project he undertook, congratulations to him for seeing it through! I always loooove those eboo designs! tell them to send some to my library xD I don't have the space or money to have a puzzle collection myself rn so i'm just going through my local library's collection! they have some great ones and got some new contributions recently but there's a loooot that aren't to my style taste that i have to sift through to find fun ones

[@pstrick1946]

Karen: Don't worry about me, I've been collecting these for 2-3 months. Also Karen: So, in the time since I filmed this, I got EVEN MORE BOXES

[@sonicchica]

I’m so excited for you to solve the Ten Hundred puzzle along with the “Who done it?” mystery! I’m happy that it was also gifted to you too. We made had told him all about you when he was figuring out which puzzle company to go with.

[@devorahallen4657]

The Talking Puzzles! I loved those when I was growing up. I know we had Last Resort, and I think I remember that we solved it correctly? I thought it was so neat that you need to use other kinds of logic and reasoning to get it put together correctly, not just "normal" puzzling technique.

[@koriegilmore5023]

I’m sooo excited for you to do the TenHundred puzzle!! I purchased it myself on the kickstarter as well as some of his other projects. It was truly an INCREDIBLE puzzle to do and it’s absolutely beautiful. So excited for that video💜

[@tinag4262]

So jealous that you have that collection of "the talking jigsaw puzzle" they are such fun to put together. We own "the beach" and "the office building." When we completed them, we took pictures and printed the solution to keep with the puzzle. The clues can be a bit vague at times, but that's what makes it fun. We enjoyed "the beach" more than "the office building" I've watched your channel for a while and hoped you would solve one for your audience. I haven't seen you complete any puzzles that are quite like that series. Hope you enjoy them as much as my husband and I do.

[@TarunoNafs]

Ohh, I scrolled through the comments and thought they're talking about a 10000 piece puzzle, then I realized it's that Ten Hundred once you show the box. Watched a couple of his videos before. I enjoy his art style and can't wait to see you work on the puzzle!

[@TheBmweed]

THE TALKING JIGSAW!!! I had the office building one with congratulations on the back - I did it so many times I ended up doing in backwards because I knew where all the windows were supposed to go!

[@autumnaxiom]

Hi Karen, I don't really do puzzles myself, but I want to thank you for your videos. I experience a lot of anxiety and mental distress, and your videos are great to watch when I'm not doing well, since they're simultaneously interesting and engaging, while also being lighthearted and relaxing. Thank you, and I wish you all the best with puzzling and your channel!

[@SeaKing61]

You can really see your joy when you open a puzzle you've been wanting, like the frustrator! I collect Lego and when I finally get a set from the 90s that I used to drool over in the catalogue as a kid but could never buy, I get that same joy!

[@kaminalu]

OMG That Ceaco corkboard puzzle just unlocked a core memory for me!! I've been trying to collect old puzzles that I did as a child with my grandfather, and there was one that I could sort of remember that it had shaped pieces-one of which was a hot air balloon- but I could never remember more about it so I didn't ever really know what to search for. And you just found it!! I'm sobbing I'm so happy rn. Thank you!!! 💗

[@KarenPuzzles]

You should message @sarahdoespuzzles on Instagram - she sells vintage puzzles and always has the ones from that series!

[@kaminalu]

@@KarenPuzzles Thank you so much!!

[@ash_rock]

That Cobble Hill rainbow puzzle is absolutely one of my favorites from my own puzzle collection. It actually comes from a series where each puzzle is based on a different color!

[@KarenPuzzles]

Yes, I've seen that! They look beautiful when laid end to end.

[@ashabutterworth7231]

I’m working on the series right now! I’m only on green - halfway through - but I bought myself the 2000 piece rainbow version as motivation to get them all done. Such a beautiful series!

[@wendyeskelin8765]

Wow so many amazing puzzles.. This is a GREAT haul. It's so cool to get some of your Holy Grail puzzles, but I have to say the puzzle sent to you by Jerry is sooooooo impressive. So much time, thought and creativity went into that puzzle. The fact that he even made it so it would fit with the other Springbok state is just beyond well thought out.

[@gojenn0927]

I love seeing your passion for puzzling and your joy at finding unique puzzles. It makes my heart happy!

[@laurab8547]

It’s like Christmas morning, puzzle edition! So fun! Can’t wait to see you solve the red holographic one!

[@tjasonham]

lol I love your commitment to the Gameophiles map puzzles. Earlier this year I finished a Gameophiles nautical map puzzle of the US Virgin Islands that I randomly found at a thrift store for a dollar and your deep dive video gave it a whole new significance :-D

I love the Alchemist's House series from eeBoo! I have done the house puzzle and the Alchemist's Cabinet Puzzle, and I am so excited to do the Alchemist's Library now too!!!

[@judysocal8682]

Jerry's Missouri puzzle is amazing!

[@KarenPuzzles]

Agreed!

[@kimwilkins5439]

I literally clapped when I saw the Ten Hundred puzzle. I have just finished it myself, although haven't tried to solve the mystery yet. I was actually so impressed with the quality of the puzzle itself - so much fun to solve. I can't wait to see you solve it.

[@vinylized9089]

This was such a fun video to ser. Her excitement is contagious. Being a collector myself, I was so happy to see her get her grails. I am still in search of my grails. Congrats. I am sure you are beyond excited and still in disbelief.

[@42clip]

Jerry! You are amazing! The dedication to make that puzzle - so impressive and inspiring 👍🏻😀

[@jandaddamio8624]

You'll have to compare the holographic one with the silver Prismagic puzzle! Love the Frustrator.

[@KarenPuzzles]

That's the plan!

[@WallinGaming]

I love haul videos, seeing someone's joyful reactions to things they love always puts a smile on my face! The puzzles are so beautiful, and I love all the stories behind them - I especially liked the one from Jerry, I think that's so cool they made their own AND to fit with the Springbok ones. Happy puzzling!!!!!

[@jazzcat320]

I LOVE that Missouri puzzles as I am from St Louis! I wish Springbok would have made one. SO COOL that you have this custom puzzle!! And the St Louis map one! EEEEEE!! Want!!!

[@leahbell7661]

As someone who is from St. Louis. I really resonated with the STL and Missouri puzzles! Those are awesome! Excited to see them done. And can’t wait to see you do that first iridescent puzzles!

[@lyn6768]

Sometimes, when Im working on a big puzzle, I get a bit bored and discouraged, and just don't want to continue working on it, but then I put on one of your videos and suddenly my energy is back! Thank you for this, you're constantly encouraging me with your love for puzzles.

[@wemartin1211]

I just ordered some of those 3D mystery puzzles. They look like a ton of fun. Thanks for showing them!

Very cool vintage puzzles! Yayy, can't wait to see them done 🎉

Amazing! My favorite of these were the Pieceworks puzzles, so 70s vintage looking, I love that! And the Eboo puzzles also seem so much fun to put together. You're lucky!

Being from St. Louis, MO and see you have a STL map and Missouri puzzle in one video makes me so jealous 😅😅😅

[@alderblanco2362]

collecting is such a beautiful hobby. Every piece you add has a story and a relationship with another person. The amount of love shared between people who love their hobby, and supporting each other. It's so lovely.

[@dhpbear2]

I had one of those "Talking Jigsaw Puzzle" (18:36) back in the early 90s. Easy to solve! Only the version I had had a different size pieces so, there *weren't* 4 pieces per panel.

[@lethiapage4767]

You are such a puzzle nerd and I'm totally here for it. I love all the holographic pieces you got. When you unboxed the NJ map... I wanted to tell you I was a nanny in Whitehouse Station NJ about 20 yrs ago. The kids are prob close to your age! I loved it there. I think NJ gets a bad rep, ppl are nice and the countryside in central Jersey is beautiful.

[@rowboat8343]

The joy in your face opening all these boxes is delightful. Love your videos Karen and look forward to seeing more of the 9000 piece one!

[@leonatati]

I love seeing you so excited over your collection! I have many collections, and anytime I can add something new, it’s always a great time

[@theother1s220]

The talking jigsaw puzzle! I used to have one of these as a teen that I assembled with my sister. Ours was of a gym, and we had fun assembling it as it was on the box before putting it together as intended by the company for the conversations the different people were having in the gym. Brings back memories!

[@multiple_oranges]

those piecework puzzles are gorgeous!! wow.

[@camkind4377]

❤ 10hun! I laughed at "all the lore" - of course there's fun behind his painting but some good story behind the original scene and characters as well ❤

Happy Sunday, Karen! 😊 What a great collection!!

[@katishsha]

Wow. Jerry's Missouri puzzle is mind-blowing. Such a brilliant idea and its realization. Gorgeous 😍

[@lauriestark2282]

That was an amazing haul! I remember a while ago when you were saying you weren't sure about getting smaller puzzles to make a collection of them and I was just hoping that you would because they're so cute! 😂 It was a nice surprise to see a few small ones! The Frustrator and Holographic puzzles are absolutely beautiful too! I'd love to solve some of the Eeboo ones, especially the Four Birds. It looks so pretty and I don't have any circular puzzles. It's a funny coincidence, I was researching where to get Eeboo puzzles online and browsing through catalogues and the Lavender Kitchen and Four Birds were the ones I loved the most!!!

[@TheRachaelful]

I loved all the puzzles! The Missouri puzzle and the 3d mystery puzzles look really interesting

[@daniel_wilkinson]

Your enthusiasm is infectious.

[@Nina_kindimherzen]

The Cobble Hill puzzle is one od my favourite puzzles I ever made! I solved the 2000 one and the 1000 one, liked the smaller more, but what a wonderful image!

[@ryru2093]

Watching your recent video of a round zebra puzzle had me thinking of a puzzle I once bought. I never attempted a solve (purchased on a trip so I had something to bring back.) It was bought at Macys in NYC in 1994 I believe. The puzzle is titled "Worlds Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzle Penguins Edition." The puzzle is 15" x 15" , 529 pieces Manufactured by Buffalo Games Covered completely by penguins, with the same image on the back rotated 90 degrees. For someone who enjoys puzzles as much as you, It seems like either a really fun time, or hair-pulling frustrating time. I would enjoy to see how long it takes someone more skilled at puzzles to finish.

[@TarunoNafs]

The talking puzzles and 3d mystery puzzles are so interesting as well! Looking forward to your future videos!

[@katiearueckert]

I have the Eeboo 100 Great Words puzzle. It is one of my favorites. I love that the words are all defined on the inside of the box. I wish they had a 1000 piece version of it though.

Puzzler lover here. Love watching your videos. One of these reminds me of a new company called Odd Pieces. I’ve done one and just got another. Lots of fun. Puzzle that’s put together doesn’t fully match what’s on the box. It has a little cartoon story and the two images end up bring the before and after.

[@parmentier1984]

The Missouri one from Jerry looks AMAZING! I actually have the Illinois one, but have never unsealed it. In Eeboo land, I did the Alchemist's Home shortly after getting my cat, while still working on getting her to not play with puzzle pieces... and now there's a piece missing somewhere. So bummed because I love that one - and psyched to try the cabinet one (already in my to-do pile) and the newer library one.

[@theyxaj]

I know it can be disappointing to lose a piece, but maybe you can think of the missing piece as the one your kitty made? Her contribution
