We only assemble 2,000, 3,000 piece puzzles. We like the challenge.This was a nightmare, not fun at all. Major chore. Not sure why we continued, maybe stubborn? 1. No poster, the small box picture was not accurate in color so useless 2. The puzzle was cut wrong. The whole middle section does not fit picture wise. Totally off. Meaning there is a line straight through the middle that the picture is completely wrong. Example Hero's eyes should be even but his second eye is in his mouth. His foot should be connected to his leg but it isn't. 3. There are 2 basic puzzle size pieces. So every other piece fits together. You complete a section and everything fits only to realize half of it is wrong. 4. Edge pieces. Good luck, all the side edge pieces fit together. Same with the top and bottom section. You could actually fit a white piece next to a blue one and it would fit perfectly.The company needs to pull this puzzle. We will never buy from them again. Do NOT buy

I bought this puzzle 6 months ago, in April 2021, but only just put it together. It's a cool image, and not terribly challenging for a 3000 piece puzzle. Or it wouldn't have been1) first thing I notice is that pieces are dirty, like they got wet and puzzle dust stuck to them;2) around the middle of the puzzle, there is an obvious seam where the pieces don't line up and the puzzle is two completely different shades this goes all the way down the puzzle, but is most obvious at the top of Batman's cape;3) I'm missing 4 pieces, not a lot of chance for them to get lost while building and it would be a first in dozens of puzzles the last couple of years where I've lost not 1, but FOUR pieces in merely a week;4) the cut of the pieces is such that none really fit perfectly, so it's easy to put the wrong pieces together which is exceptionally obnoxious, especially when there are 3000 pieces that could all theoretically fit together.I almost quit building this after I noticed the dirty pieces, then after the wrong colors but I finished it just to write this review. And since I can't return it now anyway. Trust the bad reviews. Something went wrong at the factory, or these are fakes, or the Aquarius company has just gone downhill into awfulness. I won't be buying from them again, and certainly not at the premium I paid for this junk.

Worked hard putting this entire puzzle together, only realizing the entire thing was off-centered down the middle, 2 pieces were missing, and 3 pieces didn't fit correctly.Disappointed I ordered several puzzles together over 3 months ago and am unable to return the one that is defective (the Aquarius one).Be very aware of the Aquarius puzzles...they are hit or miss. The next one I purchase will be completed quickly, in case I need to return it for missing pieces, etc.

Numerous pieces missing and muddy artwork makes it difficult to assemble.

Nice gift for DC comic hero lovers
