I bought this years Waddingtons Limited edition Xmas puzzle and found that, as the last 2 or 3, it is only single sided but mine is printed on the flat, matt side which is normally the back and the glossy side is blank.
Is everybody elses like this or is mine a misprint thats worth a fortune? Humm ::67 :67 :67

Everybody's is like that...unfortunately! For some reason Waddingtons made it like this.

Hi, Just to say that the 2003 Wadding Puzzle was a let down. Great picture but who on earth came up with the one sided- 'lets stick- the- picture- on- the- back- of- the- puzzle' idea? This example as let the series down, Waddingtons or Hasbro as they are nowadays should be ashamed of themselves. Make sure that the 2004 puzzle is better - please- cos I will not buy it otherwise.

I was extremely disappointed with the Waddingtons last year, too, but, seeming I have the full set, I'll be buying this years!|l |l |l |l But it would be nice if they went back to the old way of making them!

Hi Again,
Well to be honest I expect I will buy this years, but lets hope they go back to a proper puzzle format. But if they don't, they could at least make the puzzle double sided so that you can make a proper puzzle. I had to buy two of last years. I normally buy them as a pressie for my dad and when he started to piece it together the picture parts were mis aligned and he told me that i was made wrong. So I went off during the hoilday to WHSmith to get another- lucky they were half price by then and lo and behold, the saame wrong way round thing again, but this one was actually printed better. But my dad did go on about it till i got him another.
So Waddingtons are you reading this- please stop messing up the puzzles, Gibson, WHSmith (these ones are really good) and Ravensburger don't do it and you should not either.

Yes, the Ravensburgers and W H Smiths ones are made well, and so is the Gibsons - although the picture was rather dark!;)
