Dowdle Costco Puzzle 500/1000 Pieces $9.99

This will go great with my Kirkland Signature sweatshirt.

i was hoping these would go on sale. thx!

Bought this puzzle despite my wife's objections. It turned out to be really fun if you like jigsaw puzzles. She ended up liking it way more than me mainly because there are a lot of fun details.

Guess I'm going in for a price adjustment.

Saw these in Richmond BC location too lol. My friend bought one. The hotdogs in the image are hilariously large and there are huge turkeys being handed out hahaha.

Edit: I bet they're actually rotisserie chickens upon further reflection!!

Just finished ours and we're missing three pieces.

Do I get to return at the 12.99 price and repurchase at 9.99?

I love puzzles myself, but am burdened with what to do with it after its completed....do you guys frame it and hang up somewhere (we only have so much wall space!) or disassemble and put back into the box?

(I'm sure Lego collectors also run into the same issue.)

i seen this, but got the other euro 1000 pc puzzle instead for the same price..i mean why a costco puzzle?!

I always put our puzzles back into the box and bring them back out periodically (usually on rainy days).

Why not a Costco puzzle? It's a super popular store and the puzzle perfectly highlights the things people love most about it. I paid regular price for mine and have no regrets. Great deal at $10!

We got the 1000 piece version and are putting this together now. It has pretty high quality pieces and the picture have a lot of silly fun details to discover. Price is good for a more than a few hours of entertainment.

When I was a child and we were broke I would make the puzzle and then after its done I would flip each piece one by one so the puzzle is completed and reversed. Then I would use tape all along it to hold it together. Then I would tape it to the wall like a poster. Hope that makes sense.

Makes total sense! I remember seeing these often in people’s homes...it beats spending money on a frame.
Back in the day, we were all broke. That’s how and why RFD was born...it served a critical purpose for many.

As an alternative, use weak masking tape, like the green type used for painting, to cover the front of the puzzle. This should hold the puzzle together enough to flip it around to apply tape, adhesive, etc. to the back. Because the masking tape is weak, it won't damage the front when you remove it.

I had suspected that they used real Costco employees to model for the puzzle because so many people were waving and smiling directly at you and were pretty distinct.

Here's the two Costco co-founders on the couch:

Just a small life pro tip. If you go into warehouse and purchase it, immediately return it. Their returns system doesn't update for at least 2 hours so if you return within that first 2 hours it won't "see" the new purchase and will return on the old one.

Wow I really wish I read this before taking it apart
