Good product, could be better... February 8, 2008

We bought this for our 5-year old as he is really into puzzles and he's able to do 200-piece puzzles by himself. But, as it turns out, it is too hard for him to finish by himself, maybe in another year or two.
The puzzle is great, some details on the puzzle first - it doesn't have all the countries outlined, but it does have all the little islands and geographical details. It has little pictures of the common animals in different areas, so it nice being able to point out where all these animals my 5-year old learns about are found.
This was our first 3-D puzzle, so it was interesting seeing the globe evolve and the 3-D does make it more difficult. The main problem we faced were the final few pieces, which fit on top and are hard to get into place. Like any jigsaw, you need to press the pieces into place, a little too much pressure here or there and your little world caves in and you have a lot more to fix. I don't know if this could have been avoided with a different arrangement for the top, but I can easily imagine even an 8-yr old getting frustrated.
From an adults perspective, it could have been better (5-stars) if it was a little larger, had more detail and the top had been more stable. Thats said, this a good toy, lots of fun and interesting and I'm glad we bought it.
