Originally featured on r/Jigsawpuzzles
After working on a few 1000-piece puzzles over the span of several days, I pushed myself to get this done as a break. It took about an hour and a half to complete.
Out of two Trefl Premium Plus puzzles I currently own, this is the first one I worked on because I wanted to see how this line compares to standard Trefl puzzles.
What's most interesting about this line is that it comes with a poster, and it has a different piece cut to hopefully eliminate false fits. Luckily, there are little to no false fits on this puzzle. However, the pieces feel like they have a loose fit to them, so the puzzle might easily crumble if I try to pick up a section of it.
The verdict: Would I buy more Trefl Premium Plus puzzles? Yes, because I enjoyed my time with this one, even if it's a bit frustrating at first with how busy this image looked.

It's the first anniversary of my jigsaw puzzle hobby and it looks like I've got all my puzzles organized.
The second of the two TOI World Tom and Jerry puzzles I currently own. Seemed impossible at first but given that the brand puts patterns at the back of the puzzle pieces, I sorted by that, left them as segments before attaching them for the final image, and things were a breeze, aside from some slightly hard sections here and there.

>All right. In case I want to go between these malls without taking intermediate detours at other malls, shall I take three jeepneys (one from RLP to South Station, then from South Station to Walter Mart Muntinlupa, then from WMM to AMMB) or take a bus to PITX (if there's one that goes directly there), then change for another bus that stops at City of Dreams, then cross?
>And if I choose the PITX route, which floor should I go to for city bus tickets? Are there any additional fees to pay while there, and do I have to bring my passport?

The first of the two TOI World Tom and Jerry puzzles I currently own. Took me two days this time, but the actual time working on this was six hours.
Bought at Toys R Us, Ayala Malls Manila Bay on July 1, 2026
This was my first 1,000+ piece puzzle I worked on (out of 15 I've bought) and it took two to three days to finish. Also included are pictures of the puzzle in progress, and the box in its original shrink wrap from when I first bought it.
With piece counts higher than 500, I'm starting to notice the false fit issue more easily on Trefl puzzles, but I find it a minor annoyance since I always manage to correct any fitting mistakes. Overall, I enjoyed my time with this one.

Entry for the June 2026 puzzle theme (Sun, Sea, and Earth). This took eight hours to complete.
This is the first time I tried a Clementoni puzzle, but my experience here feels like an oddball.
Luckily, there's little to no dust on this one, but I swear I didn't lose any pieces. It came this way after I sorted and completed this puzzle even though it was unopened beforehand, so it could be a quality control issue. I'm hoping other puzzles of this brand that I own don't have this issue.

In this case, it could be a puzzle from a new brand you are looking forward to trying, a rare find, or something else that tickles your fancy as a puzzler.
For example, my most wanted wishlist would be:
The puzzle didn't actually have a title aside from the licensed character brand it is attributed with, so I just winged it.
Also including 8 Fudamax Stackable Organizer boxes for use as sorting trays (bought at SM Store, SM City BF Paranaque on April 29, 2026)
Despite the flair, I decided to do this puzzle for a second time to try using the large piece of cardboard (1/2 size illustration board) as a puzzle board. Thankfully, it held up much better, with only a 3-and-a-half-hour solve time compared to my previous attempt.
