Love the new comparison pages, but would like to see the country of origin listed also
After spending sixty dollars on a 5,000 piece Masterpiece puzzle (previously known for quality) I will NEVER again buy any of their products. The puzzle did NOT match at all from top to bottom all the way through the middle of the huge puzzle. This is totally unacceptable. There is no reason that they should be selling such a shoddy product. Don't waste your money or time on Master Pieces "Mom's Pantry", I am furious that they now sell garbage.
Just completed Masterpiece's MLB Wrigley Field 13" x 39" 1000-pieces puzzle, the hardest I've ever done in 75 years. Not only is it a random cut, but also the matching pieces do not have the same lengths on the sides where they join. This makes the puzzle exceptionally difficult because it's not easy to tell whether you've got the pieces in the right places...and you often put them in wrong and have to disassemble. What's the deal?
