[@KarenPuzzles]

Hi guys, just to be 100% clear in case you didn’t finish the video, the piece was not missing! If you paid that much money for a puzzle, it would be understandably disappointing if it was, but it was right there in an envelope I didn’t see. However, just to cover my bases, I did ask Lazels what their missing piece policy is, and they said if a brand new puzzle has a missing piece, they will replace the entire puzzle. If you lose a piece yourself later on, they will cut a plain titanium piece to replace it (it is impossible to get the pattern to match without remaking the entire puzzle).

[@tealpolaroid]

The part about if you lose a piece later on... is very good customer service. I wonder what it costs for an individual piece. I shall look.

[@LJG7654]

I think you made it really clear through the whole thing that you weren't blaming Lazels! But that is a great policy for them to have regarding missing pieces...

[@Boxofcare666]

I wonder why they were in an envelope instead with rest of the pieces

[@emma70707]

​@@Boxofcare666, yeah, it makes sense for the blue rectangle ones, but that center piece seem to be with the same pattern as the rest of them, so it would seem to require extra work on the company's part.

[@miradrgn]

when i was watching i just figured it was just a decorative hole, it's a puzzle with gaps already so having a nice symmetrical little hole in the middle honestly doesn't look bad

[@HanaTheRussell]

Damn Karen!! Those beauty shots at the end. You're really showing your talent not just as a puzzler but also a videographer. I'm so impressed. I think that's something that a lot of viewers forget about KZbinrs. Most most most youtubers don't have a team shooting / editing videos for them. So on top of whatever skill they have that they're showcasing, they have amazing videography skills as well. Bravo!

As soon as you placed that missing piece into the middle area I thought the center piece must have been intentional with such a beautifully shaped puzzle. I love that Lazels tucks those pieces away so you have a guaranteed satisfying finish. Amazing puzzle making and puzzle solving on display!

[@nahmastay3300]

I didn’t even think about that but you’re right!!! Such a clever idea

[@flowerdolphin5648]

I do like that they didn't connect the final blue pieces to the rest of the puzzle, so you can leave the cutouts if you wanted to. I prefer the rectangles empty, it adds depth to the artwork. Same with the center piece, it looks so nice when it is missing ^^ I think more puzzle companies should intentionally leave out sections in the middle. It would make for a satisfying puzzling experience imo.

[@lesliemandic9673]

Oh, I agree FlowerDolphin. I think it looked really unusual yet beautiful with those pieces absent

They said they separated the last pieces out in some of the earliest releases, but they don't do that anymore. It was definitely extra satisfying being forced to do them last though!

[@lukesmithkaz]

That was probably my favorite puzzle you've done on this channel!

[@richardjohnson6353]

I encountered something similar to this in an apartment building I lived in. The box claimed that there were 20,000 pieces, and it appeared that it was a solid color. The box also said that tweezers were included. Now that I’ve seen this video, I wish that I had examined it more closely, but I feared it. Where I am living now, I’m “the Puzzle Guy.” So when someone discovered a single piece, they brought it to me. I didn’t measure it, but it appeared to be the same size as the pieces you displayed. It was an edge piece from a cardboard puzzle, and on the bottom side of the piece, there was a capital “B” and a partial letter “A” which I had only encountered once before. I took it to the puzzle librarian to see if she had that puzzle somewhere in her collection; she did not, sadly. I love your videos (I’m already subscribed!).

Fun video - beautiful puzzle! I think they must put the final pieces in special envelopes for the same kind of, almost ceremonial, experience you had finishing the puzzle.
