The Noble Collection Lord of The Rings Map of Middle Earth Puzzle

The puzzle looks great; I plan to glue and hang on the wall.This is probably the most challenging 1000 piece puzzle I’ve done, with many similar pieces. However, it is also precision made and each piece does have a specific place, you just need to take your time and confirm the edges are a true match and don’t just “fit”. The final product is worth the challenge though especially if you plan to display it.There was a missing piece (it happens) but customer service was great. They sent a replacement puzzle right away and the piece from the new puzzle fit perfectly.

I bought it as a Christmas gift for someone that I didn't know. Had info that he was interested in Lord of the Rings and without me not knowing what he already had, I felt this was unique enough to fit his interest and he probably didn't have it.

Hubby put this together in a couple days. Loved it so much he glued it and framed it!

Bought for my college kids who are big LOTR fans. They were excited about it. But there are only about four puzzle shapes and the gradation of color doesn’t show up as well on the pieces as in the picture. It’s boring and frustrating. Waste of time and money.

I didn't listen to the other reviews. Every piece is the exact same shape, so unless you're working on a word or the compass, its really impossible to know if you've put pieces together right or not since they all connect together. I tried what one reviewer suggested and worked on the border first. Let's just say it had been sitting on our coffee table for 6 months. It is such a cool print, design and quality picture on the pieces, but being so frustrated to the point of not doing it defeats the whole purpose. There is hard then there is impossible. We aren't quitters but this is starting to look like one we may have to give up on.

While the pieces are of high quality, the puzzle, itself is a nightmare. It’s the first puzzle I’ve done where the edge pieces are not first. There is no poster or anything bigger than the 6”by 6” picture. Invest in a magnifying glass if you even want to get close. The pieces fit more in a pattern relative to their shape instead of based on a picture. Weird, but kinda fun nonetheless.Still not sure I got it right in the end.

Don't be intimidated by the comments - it has great quality with great design. You gotta be patient to see the subtle hints. It was very enjoyable. Highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded. Love the idea of a map of Middle Earth puzzle but this was poorly executed due to the black border with far too similar pieces and the small, hard to read text. The enclosed small photo doesn't help much, primarily due to its size.Please see my video review for more info. I am not going to finish it because I am not enjoying it anymore. So what you see in my video is as far as it is going to get.
