Star Wars Darth Vader 3D Sculpture Puzzle

Great puzzle. Fairly hard, though it comes with a "cheat sheet" for those who want to skip the frustration. Only downside to the puzzle that I can tell is the pieces are all a sort of hard cardboard (or paperboard). Suggest spraying lightly with puzzle adhesive once complete, and a water-proofer spray to cover that afterwards if piece is to be used as a display near possible liquid spills. Decently heavy for all that, as the puzzle is nearly 150 layers.

I have this on my desk at work and always get compliments on it. I've had it for over 10 years and it still looks fantastic. Easy to put together and very durable. Great for any Sith.

If you think 2D jigsaw-style puzzles are hard enough, try this one on for size! Putting something together in three dimensions is a LOT more difficult, and even with a cheat sheet this puzzle can be frustrating. But the end result looks very cool and is worth it... provided you're careful with the end result.This puzzle consists of a bust of Darth Vader, cut horizontally into hundreds of slices that you have to punch out, assemble, and slide onto a central pole. It's a challenge, but a rewarding one, and the end result is a great display piece. My only problem with it is that if that central pole snaps (and it happened with me when I brought the puzzle into another room to show it off), everything scatters and you have to start all over. Needless to say, Vader is staying on his shelf and not going on any more jaunts...Despite the flaws, this is still a really fun puzzle, great for older kids and adults -- it might be too difficult for young kids.

sooooooo many pieces but to be fair this box comes with it's own cheat sheet so to speed my process up a little more I'm cheesing this puzzle with this cheat sheet. other then that it's no such a bad puzzle I have been wanting this one for ever and a day. it's made with the same cardboard material as other puzzles however if you put modge podge glue gloss this thing with last a very very long time. I can't wait to get a few lego sets to add to my collect and a bunch of other very cool items. I am glad I got this and for any puzzle fans and also star wars fandom like me then this product will exceed anyone's standards. it's insane that it comes with so many pieces this will last me a while if I remember to do so I will edit this review with a photo. may the force be with you. the darkside that is.
