I yoinked this puzzle so hard when I spied it at the thrift store! My father had several beautiful vintage round puzzles when I was a kid. They were amazing to put together and doing this puzzle reminded me of some of my rare happy childhood memories. I put in an online order for some more round puzzles last night as I won't be able to acquire those family puzzles.

This puzzle reminded me of why I love Springbok so much. The pieces fit so well together that the completed puzzle can be lifted up. Each piece is unique in shape and pattern so I can pick out a piece and almost immediately find it's place. Puzzle took the one movie and one tv episode to complete.
