Brand New Wasgij’s
Wasgij Christmas 11: Double Trouble!
(illustrated by James Alexander) is a hilariously festive 1000 piece
jigsaw puzzle. The image shown on the box depicts the office
Christmas party that is in full swing this evening with the employees
enjoying a drink and a dance with
each other - it is the one time in the
year when they can all let their hair
down after all. But as the bosses walk
through the door to all the mayhem
they are frozen in their tracks! You
have to imagine that you are Ms
Rubble, the HR Manager, and piece
together what she is looking at. Will

(illustrated by Neil Easton) A brand
new time-travelling puzzle concept
by Falcon Jumbo. A reversal of the
popular Wasgij Destiny range - so
instead of piecing together how the
image on the box would look like in
the modern day, you are puzzling how
it would have looked in times gone by.
Wasgij Back to…? Basics
£13.00 - FJ19111 - 1000pc
Today we perhaps take for granted
the gadgets and gizmos that we use in
everyday life. 50 years ago it would have been very difficult to even
imagine a life with them, let alone now living a life without them. So
how might this living room scene have looked in the 1960’s? What
kept us entertained before mobile phones, tablets and electronic
games? Use your imagination, and the clues provided on the box
to piece together how this scene would have looked in times gone
by without all the high tech gadgets and modern day clothing, and
what would the family have been doing then?

is a hilariously fantastic 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle that is sure to have
you licking your lips and laughing
whilst you piece it together.
The image printed on the front
of the box depicts the inside of
the County Fair Baking Contest and things are really starting to
heat up as the contestants are
scrambling around with their
delicious baked goods. The
judges have high expectations,
but what sweet surprises will be
offered by the ‘lucky’ contestants

NEW Jan van Haasteren
Wild Water Rafting is
a fantastic, brightly coloured
jigsaw puzzle with plenty
to look out for in the highly
detailed puzzle image.
Available in 1500 pc (FJ19015)
or 3000 pc (FJ19017)
The Wasgij Original Extension Pack 1: The Bake
Off continued… is a 250 piece jigsaw puzzle that can be pieced
together and added to the ‘solution’ jigsaw puzzle of Wasgij Original 23, or
enjoyed as a smaller Wasgij puzzle. The choice is yours. But remember, this
is only an
extension to reveal an extra piece of the ‘solution’ to the
1,000 piece Wasgij Original 23 jigsaw puzzle.
The completed Extension Pack jigsaw puzzle measures
17 x 49 cm and when added to the Wasgij Original 23
‘solution’ puzzle, it will create a puzzle measuring 85 x
49 cm.
A great choice too if you’ve ever wanted to try a Wasgij
but were afraid of the full 1000 piece versions !
The Wasgij Original
Extension Pack 1:
The Bake Off continued… - £5.00 - FJ19116 - 250pc
If you look carefully at the
puzzle image you will get a
taste for Jan’s uniquely brilliant
sense of humour that depicts
an extremely chaotic white water rapid adventure. It is being
‘enjoyed’ by far too many sailors who are busy bouncing off the each
other’s brightly coloured inflatable rafts, rubber dinghies, canoes
and even a submarine… There’s not only plenty to piece together
of what is happening in the water, but if you look on the rocks and
shore on either side you’ll spot some amusing illustrations such as
a Gorilla trying to coach a hiker across a fallen tree, an upset father
Bear confronting some rafters and many more.

READER’S LETTERS
Jig
‘The other day I found a new use for my fish slice.
The ‘Stave’ Jigsaw Company mak
e and sell
the most expensive range
of modern
jigsaws. In 1993 a Stave puzzle
was sold
for over £8,000. They make man
y jigsaws
each year that are eagerly sna
pped up at
prices of over £3,000 each!
I was joining up parts of my puzzle away from the main frame,
but on trying to move them into place they kept breaking up,
that’s when my fish slice came to the rescue. I hope this tip
will help others.’

A great tip sent to us by Mrs Brenda Wright from Macclesfield. We
would be very interested to hear if anyone else has any jigsaw
hints or tips or indeed any other uses for kitchen or household
items that they would like to share. We look forward to hearing
from you.
‘I am now in my tenth year of joining the club. I have enjoyed
many beautiful puzzles but now my fingers are not as nimble
and I prefer the larger pieces. Is it possible to have a wider
selection please?’

Thank you for getting in touch Kathleen. This is something that
many of you comment on and it is unfortunate that not very
many of the manufacturers make puzzles with larger pieces.
Last month however we did feature Pomegranate’s 500 and 300
piece puzzles which have larger than standard pieces. We will of
course pass on your comments to the manufacturers and keep
looking for new stock.
