Big puzzle haul!

[@BuxleyHall]

You’ve got some really nice puzzles in this haul, Vicky! My favorite has got to be the 6,000 “Pirate Battle” from Clementoni - that’s SUCH a nice image.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Thank you! I have been very lucky with this haul 😍 I agree, I think that’s my favourite too - such an epic image! 😃

[@Friduus94]

Soo many great puzzles! Bought Fantastic Street just a few days ago, it will be my summer project 😄

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Yay! It looks fun, that one! Hope you enjoy! 😍

I set a personal best time with the Ravensburger 500 piece "Sunrise at the port" which was a surprise to me. It had really distinct areas. (And a personal worst with the Ravensburger 500 piece "Rabbit Recital")

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Great! I would love to get more under an hour finishes. Managed it only once so far! I’ve not done Rabbit Recital, but I know the one you mean - that one looks cute, but maybe not easy! 😊

[@meropale]

I love the Ceacos. I'm a beginner puzzler and their 300 piece sets are so nicely done! There are many interesting details added to add intrigue to the process. They have been my favorite brand so far in my puzzling journey.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Great! I have only done one Ceaco - they aren’t that available to buy here in the UK, but I enjoyed the Colin Thompson one I did 😍

[@randee719]

Lots of great puzzles but I would LOVE to see you do Fantastic Street. I wish it came in a 1000!piece format that I would buy, but 5000 is too daunting.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

I don’t think I’ve seen that image as a 1k, but you never know, maybe one day they’ll release a smaller version. I can’t wait to give it a go, it looks so fun 😍

[@ruthtumolo9598]

First of all… there IS no such thing as to many puzzles. Great haul too. I’m still in awe of my enormous two puzzle haul.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

That’s true isn’t it? Lol. Well, it’s a good job there is no such thing I’d be in trouble otherwise 😆

[@victory6924]

Exciting haul, as always! There is a similar 3000 puzzle to the 6000 one called 'The Underwater Battle', also by Clementoni.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Thank you! I’ll need to look up that 3k, don’t think I’m familiar with that one, but it sounds like my kinda thing 😍

[@Saudade_Ana]

Lovely puzzles. Maritime flair was the puzzle featured in my first ever speed puzzling contest. My sister and I did it in one hour forty minutes so not a good time LOL but hey, at least we finished within the limit time of two hours

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

I think that’s a great time! My best pairs time was 50 something minutes, but that was a super tough puzzle, so we were pleased with that 😍

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

amazing collection

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Thank you so much 😍

[@karawilkey5850]

love the dophlin one

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

It’s pretty isn’t it? 😍

[@kerryhi4227]

I love seeing all of the different puzzles that you get! Happy puzzling!

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Thank you! 🤩 Happy puzzling to you too! 😍

[@mikaelas11]

Great puzzle haul!

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Thank you so much! 😍

[@puzzlepiece9509]

Whoa, certainly a big haul there which will keep you busy, busy for a long time! 🧩 I've done seven of the puzzles that you listed. I loved the Flying Home one as it was a bit quirky but not as busy as Colin's other puzzles. Three of those puzzles I timed, Maritime Flair took me 2hrs 3 mins, I Like Birds took me 2hrs 44m and one took me ages. That was the Rainbow Cake one which took me 4hrs 32m! For some reason I just struggled to get going on that one. I have 15 of the Circle of Colors puzzles and three on order so I will then have all the ones that are currently available. Looking forward to BOTYP4 which I believe is next month. What shall we be doing I wonder. 🤔 Look forward to your next video.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Yes, it was big, it grew very quickly and before I knew it, I thought, oh, I’d better do a puzzle haul quick! 😆 I agree, Flying Home is not as jam packed as most of his others, but I like that it’s different 😍 I find that I’m so hit and miss with Circle of Colors puzzles, no idea how Rainbow cake will be, but we’ll see I suppose 😊 I would like to get all the circles, but I am struggling to get Dreams, and the Insect ones 😩 I also can’t wait for BOTYP4, I’m certain it will be so much fun as always! 😍

[@alisonm3946]

Where do you keep all of your puzzles? You say you have a lot of 500 piece puzzles but I don't see any of them behind you there. Nice haul. Fun to see all the new additions.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

I have another shelf off the camera, but that is already full. The rest are stacked up on top of some boxes of Lego off the camera. I am thinking I will need to buy a bigger version of the shelf behind me to expand my puzzle storage space a bit! 😊

[@karawilkey5850]

did that one i loved it my fave dog

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

The Golden Retriever one?

[@booklover6963]

What a Haul !! I love the 6,000 pc Clementoni ...

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Me too! I can’t wait to do it! 😍

[@HenriettaBiggle]

I have the three Lord of the Rings puzzles as well. I finished the Fellowship puzzle last month. I don't know when I'm gonna start the Two Towers puzzle

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Amazing! Was it difficult? I hope to get the first one done soon! 😍

[@bettyc.6280]

Cool haul 🤩

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Thanks Betty! X😍

[@jodiaustin4604]

You have my favorite puzzle. It is a puzzle of a dragon and it is a shape puzzle of a dragon too.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

I LOVE that puzzle! I can’t wait to do it too 😍

[@siobhanspeedy]

you got the 6000 pirate ship puzzle!!! that's hilarious 🤣🤣 enjoy!

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

I did! Ha ha 😍 I’m so happy with it! 😃

[@justicierodelaliga]

I´ve always imagined that Vicky lived in Fantastic Street. I have an idea on how to build all of the puzzles. 1. Drink constant coffee and tea. 2. Have you connected to a parentreal nutrition. 3. Wear diapers. ...and start building! That way you won´t have to stop for anything! Whenever you have to make use of a new diaper take a power nap of 20 minutes and keep going. ;) Other thoughts: 1. Love the IMAG IN A DREAM style. It is very European children´s style look. Like MADELINE and THE LITTLE PRINCE. 2. Even though I´m Caribbean (Puerto Rican) don´t love pirates (but you should come and visit since there are some fortresses to defend against their attacks in Old San Juan that you´ll love...that dates 1595) ... but that puzzle looks amazing. In fact, there´s a similar one I´m looking forward to own in a future. Just because the image is like your puzzle.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

🤣🤣🤣 This comment really made me chuckle! I’m totally up for this…except maybe for the diapers 😂 - I would definitely move to Fantastic Street too - especially if there are dragons! 😃 I have visited the Caribbean once - I went on a cruise, so visited a few of the islands. I loved it, it’s so beautiful. I would love to visit again 😍

[@rosa733]

Pirate battle is going to be really really hard but worth every hours, day or month.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

I agree! It looks epic and I think it will be amazing when it’s finished! 😍

[@kathylynn1375]

I just got flying home by c olin.thompson...puzzle love it you got a great haul good luck and have fun

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Thank you! I am looking forward to that one too, it’s a little different for a Colin Thompson puzzle 😍

[@hannahm782]

Ceaco has some really great images, but I feel like I should warn you so it doesn’t catch you off guard, Ceaco is very very crumbly. I steer clear of them because I can get a couple other brands for similar prices that are better quality. Although I guess you may already know since you had one before this The Disney set of 2 interests me…I will have to see if that set is still available. I own the Disney toy store in 1000 pieces and have done it a couple times, it’s a fun one. The Disney stamp album I have in 2000 pieces. 😬😬 I did about three fourths of it and put it back in the box in large sections. I’d like to try again to finish it this year I think. 500 pieces might go more smoothly

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

I have heard mixed reviews about Ceaco quality, but still haven’t done one. The first one I got from a friend is a cork puzzle, so I think that will be a little different. It will be interesting to see how the cardboard ones are though 😊 As far as I can see the double Disney pack is still available to buy, I hope you find it and have fun with it 🤩

[@meropale]

I haven't had any bad experiences with Ceaco. Nothing even remotely close to "crumbly". In fact, I love their puzzles!

[@louisescheider7151]

Can’t wait to see the pirate battle 😄

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Thank you! I can’t wait to tackle it! 🤩🏴‍☠️

[@rosa733]

The Vermont Christmas company are weird as a couple I have down were outstanding and the rest were pretty damn awful.

[@Vickymakesandbuilds]

Oh, that’s odd! It’s funny how you can have opposing experiences within the same brand sometimes. I am liking the look of it so far, I’ve only done a bit of sorting, but I think I will like it. Only thing I don’t like is that the pieces are very shiny. Looks to be good quality though 😍
