From this moment forward I think the puzzle will be referred to as “The Beast”! Holy Cow is that a big box of pieces!
I can’t even begin to fathom the insanity of the people who actually open up each of the four bags, mix all the pieces together in the big box, and then proceed. If I had to search through 23,999 pieces just to find that one elusive edge piece I think I would have to shoot myself. I will be more than happy to take the easier way out and do the puzzle section by section. That in itself will be a huge accomplishment and good enough for me anyway.
Here are a couple of pictures of the individual bags as well as the poster that comes with the puzzle. This is meant as a reference point instead of trying to see the details from the small image on the box. I am going to try to laminate it tomorrow as I know this will get a ton of use.
