New York New York Wrebbit 3D Jigsaw Puzzle

Here's a super-challenging, three-dimensional Wrebbit jigsaw puzzle that has a whopping 3,141 pieces. It is a popular puzzle that is retired and somewhat hard to find. Marked item number P3D-SP2, it depicts New York city as we remember it before 911 and is considered one of the most challenging 3D puzzles ever made. This customer review sums it up nicely:

"I got this puzzle for my boyfriend last Christmas and when we got back from college we started it. It took us one month in total to finish the puzzle. It is VERY CHALLENGING. We worked every night from 6pm-1am most nights. After hours of looking at teeny tiny windows and searching for that ONE PIECE amongst 3,000+, one might lost one's mind and get frustrated very quickly, BUT DO NOT GIVE UP. This puzzle is a amazing because when it's done, it's gorgeous and it paying a fitting tribute to the twin towers and NYC!" - K. Barone

George Bush Dog Puzzles

 

When President George Bush was to celebrate his 60th birthday in 2006, First Lady Laura Bush wanted to present him with a special present and she came up with a very special one indeed. 

On this page, you will find more information about the gift that Laura Bush had made for the President, a jigsaw puzzle called Presidential Pets. A very fitting gift for a family that loved working jigsaw puzzles. 

Since George Bush's favorite jigsaw puzzles featured artwork by Howard Robinson, the First Lady commissioned a picture of the White House and the presidential dogs, Scottish Terriers, named Miss Beazley and Barney.

Mr. Robinson is a British artist whose artwork has been featured on many products including china, record covers, posters and puzzles. His jigsaw puzzle, At the Waterhole, which features wild animals, was shortlisted in 2007 for the Ravensburger puzzle of the year.

Mr. Robinson was, needless to say, thrilled to have the opportunity to paint the Presidential dogs.  He is quoted as having said, "never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the President of the United States of America would be sitting in Camp David doing one of my puzzles."

The puzzle is a 550-piece puzzle with a finished size of 18 inches by 24 inches. 

There is another famous puzzle linked to the Bush family. It features the face of the Bush's dog named Barney. That puzzle is a wooden one, crafted from hand-cut mahogany created by a company called ELMS Puzzle that crafts puzzles freehand without the aid of computers. This puzzle was a gift to the President from the staff at the White House.

World in Words World Map Jigsaw Puzzle

A young friend and his girlfriend enjoy working jigsaw puzzles and when he visited her family at Christmastime, they worked a puzzle that had pieces in the shape of countries.  Apparently that suited their other interest, which is memorizing all of the countries in the world.  With that puzzle, they could remove a country from let's say the continent of Africa and then the other person could try to figure out what country was missing.

This new Ravensburger puzzle is not quite the same as that but it still looks like fun for geography fans who like working jigsaw puzzles.  I think it would be fun to put the pieces in place for a favorite country, like Canada or for a country that you would like to VISIT, like Australia, Greenland or Brazil.  I really like the way the letters are designed...I am not sure what decade that harkens from but it is definitely retro in style. 

It's a 500 piece puzzle, that was affordable when it was released. However, it is no longer readily available on Amazon. You can check to see if it is available today by clicking here.  If that search fails, you might also try eBay by clicking right here though on the day I updated this page in April, 2020, it was not available.
