Takoyaki

this puzzle was fun, I enjoyed putting it together from start to finish. I was amazed how tight the pieces fit together, this is the first puzzle I have ever lifted with one hand and shaken without a piece of even coming loose. while I find the environmental goals of Soonness to be admirable, it is also the reason I did not give a 5 star review, when I tried to take the puzzle apart pieces kept tearing I glued the torn spots back on and re-assembeled the puzzle. when I saw how great the artwork was I planned on loaning takoyaki to 3 friends and then doing it again and keep it on a wall, and I believe that if there were some plastic based glues used in production the puzzle would have been more durable. I mailed the postcard to show off how cool the puzzle is.

I was delighted by the packaging of the puzzle. I appreciated that there was no plastic. They use a button string closure to keep the puzzle pieces inside then envelope. I did not have to find scissors to open it, and when I am done with the puzzle I can reuse the envelope. The poster and postcard are such a nice touch.
