I completed the entire puzzle. Had 2 pieces left. They do not fit. I sent pictures and emails and have gotten no response. It took months to complete this puzzle only to find the last 2 do not fit. They are completely different. I would just like a response from the company.

Most of the puzzles I have been doing go together quickly. This is a beautiful puzzle and a great challenge.

Whew! This is a challenge!

I knew that this puzzle image would be difficult but it’s beyond that. The piece shapes are not distinct enough, and I often hold pieces up to the light to determine whether they really connect. I have been annoyed for two weeks, spending way too much time puzzling just to get a piece or two placed, but I can’t bring myself to toss it all back in the box. I suppose I’m getting my money’s worth…
I have assembled several Blue Kazoo puzzles previously, and I still have more to do. This puzzle makes me realize that I have been purchasing this brand for the solid quality and irresistible images, but what has been missing every time is enjoyment. This brand might be great for folks who want an occasional, time-consuming challenge, but as someone who puzzles regularly, it’s frustrating to work on a puzzle that brings me to a screeching halt. I want my life back!

Took me three months (!!) to finish this, between work, classes and reassembling because of cats. Worth it, it is a beauty.

I knew what I was getting into with this exercise in masochism, but enjoyed it all the same. My copy is from the Classic series, which has a glossy surface that isn't ideal for a dark puzzle like this (I'd give 4.5 stars if I could, for that reason). Like probably everyone else, I started from the brighter center area and worked my way out to the margins. I didn't refer to the box image, nor did I arrange the pieces in rows and start scanning piece by piece. This probably cost me some time, but I'm a puzzler, not a bricklayer! To me, arranging by shape and brute-forcing the process is less an "expert tip" than a novice's fallback.
In total, it took me just under 17 hours of star-gazing to get it done, and I have included photos at the 6-hour and 14-hour mark. When I went to research the original image, I found that it's from our own Milky Way, around 50,000 light years away, and includes infrared photography which accounts for some of the red stars. If only the puzzle could have been square, like the original image, it would have been perfect.

Like always your puzzles are very challenging. Love that!
The quality of the image is amazing. Puzzle pieces are easy to handle.
Once it is done i plan on buying another.
Total sucker for puzzle punishment.

As impossible as promised, and I love it! Of course the quality is excellent.

I loved this puzzle! Did it one piece at a time. Took me a little over 10hours. So much fun! 10/10 would do again.

Tis a lovely box

This will be a Christmas present for a puzzle lover! Thank you so much for the gorgeous image!

My dad and I love puzzles and usually finish a 1000 piece over a weekend. This one took us 10 days!! Utterly frustrating and completely satisfying...worth every single curse word uttered

Oh my goodness. This was the the most challenging puzzle I’ve ever done. I would recommend starting with one of the other ones from the galaxy series. This was truly an exercise in patience and discipline. Love it.

Such a beautiful puzzle! Missing a piece lol but otherwise a completely enjoyable, meditative experience. I also bought the nebula puzzle. Excited to get started on it. Would 100% recommend.

Got it for my puzzle mania friends. Freaked them out at first but then they were game. Quality pieces. Started in middle like most reviewers. Friendship still intact!

Loved the way it was shipped and puzzle is great

It's incredible!! My partner is so happy with it

I bought this puzzle as a Christmas gift for an avid fan of jigsaw puzzles. I was looking for something semi difficult. This puzzle looks to be fairly difficult to me. Thanks for a nice puzzle.
Bryonna B.
I love this puzzle, the colors are gorgeous, the pieces are sturdy and I only buy puzzles from Blue Kazoo now
Cara C.
I love a challenge, and this puzzle does not disappoint! First one I've ever started in the middle. Looking forward to completing this puzzle and ordering another!
