A couple new puzzles =D

So I bought a couple puzzles over my hiatus... And I promised to post pics if someone aside from penny posted a comment, so here goes, I'm going to avoid saying prices because I don't want to make some other people feel bad who own the puzzles and probably paid WAYYYY more for them =)

got this new, not much to really say I will tell price on this one because as of right now it's like $55 on amazon brand new =) (which is really pretty inexpensive for a puzzle of this size from ravensburger)

I was a little disappointed when I opened this because the idiot who first owned it had for some reason completed the first section, and then glued it... then opened the 2nd section, but hadn't really even started it... so I was forced to break apart the glued section very carefully  (only tore the image on two of the black pieces, which I'll just touch up with a black sharpie, noone will ever notice the tear), and honestly it came apart pretty easily (it wasn't glued very well) I'm hoping it wasn't glued enough to warp the pieces so that I'll have difficulty assembling it... it was inexpensive enough though that it didn't really matter to me... and two of the bags were still sealed... I'll assemble it, and the pieces are the REALLY hard cardboard, so I doubt that it hurt the puzzle... not only that, but the previous owner had failed to assemble section one correctly... so there were 3-4 pieces completely (and obviously) out of place... and no, I forgot to take pics of the glued sections xD

 I decided to mix this puzzle =) It should be fun I don't know, and I don't care if it's missing pieces... if it is, I'll either be bugging someone to help me make my own replacement, or buying a replacement from the jigsaw doctor... I decided that I'm not going to even think about buying the new 18k image for a long time, because honestly I don't like the way it's cropped, and I prefer the way this one is cropped (18k cuts off the entirety of jonah, and two of the pendentives (the corner images of old testament stories) I still eventually want it, but I'm in no hurry to buy it...

Finally I got this baby secondhand, Love the image, one of my favorite map puzzles... the previous owner had taped the box so there's some tape damage... but otherwise it's in great condition, one of the bags was open, but taped shut, and the other was still sealed.

needless to say, all of these puzzles came with their respective posters, and box contents. I'm quite happy with them, and looking forward to assembly.

As for my current project, I'm working on a 1,000 piece F. X. Schmid puzzle for my moms b-day which I'm going to glue (GASP) and give to her... I'll post images of that once I've finished =)
