500 XL Piece Puzzle

A 500 XL piece puzzle when complete has the same dimensions as a regular 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Those measurements are 68 x 49 centimeters. It has been slow but steady for the 500 XL range of jigsaws which now has 32 different puzzles in the range at Canada Puzzles. It is quite apparent that the 500 XL puzzles appeal to the same individuals as the more standard puzzles and that it is not necessary to try and make the picture too accommodating or easy just because some enthusiasts prefer working with larger pieces. Not so long ago the 500 XL puzzle range was unique and had its own selection which was distinct from the 1000 piece puzzles. More recently, Gibsons have taken the initiative and produced many 500 XL puzzles using the same pictures that are found in the 1000 piece range. To be sure, there are still 500 XL puzzles that are brighter and with more easy to see edges and boundaries within the picture than in the regular 1000 piece range. The 500 XL puzzle range continues to grow and is attuned to the changing needs of lifelong puzzle maniacs. There are a lot of puzzle maniacs out there. Gibsons have further cross marketed their pictures into other sizes as well, such as the 250 XL and even the 100 XXL range. The 250 XL puzzlles as well as the 100 XXL puzzles have the same dimensions, when complete, as a regular 500 puzzle which is 49 x 34 centimetres.

All the favourite artists such as Marcello Corti (Keep on Dancing), who makes the wildly popular Limited Edition 1000 piece Christmas puzzles, Steve Crisp, Tony Ryan and Susan Brabeau all have 500 XL puzzles in the Canada Puzzle range. They are well established as artists whose work is well known in the 1000 piece range. Linda Jane Smith, Debbie Cook  as well as Steve Crisp also have puzzle designs in the 1000 piece range and the 250 XL piece range. Cat and dog lovers are especially well served by the amazing talent of Linda Jane Smith whose animal puzzles are a special treat. Whether it be cats or dogs, Linda Jane has a singular way of creating animal expressions that are quite adorable.

Kevin Walsh, the master of vehicles, architecture and costumes which display his period authenticity is also represented in the 500 XL range with his classic Christmas puzzle, Homeward Bound. Steve Crisp has several puzzles such as Herbert's Hardware, Spoilt for Choice and New Friends in both the 500 XL as well as the 1000 piece regular series.

Gibsons well understand the nature of the puzzle market and have their own particular and warm hearted look at all the activities we remember not so long ago but still seem quite distant from today's busy lifestyle. Gibsons puzzles are simply the best puzzles out there. Have fun!
