There are some bits and pieces of news to share. First, the Nuremberg Toy Fair is this weekend. Unfortunately, yours truly is not there. But there has been a bit of news from it.

Heye posted some photos of their booth —

Ravensburger announced they’re going to be doing a new 18,000 piece Colin Thompson puzzle. Crazy, huh? I don’t know the release date on this yet.

There’s also a 5000 piece Colin Thompson available right now.

House of Puzzles is announcing their Feb 2015 puzzles at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. I don’t have pictures yet, but I have heard they are releasing 8 ‘big 250 pieces’ puzzles and 1 new 1000 piece “Find the Differences”.  I’ll post pictures when I have them.

The new Ravensburger 2015 line-up (some of them, anyway) now available from the German websites.  Puzzle-Offensive is here. They don’t seem to have all of them quite yet.  More of them are available on Babylon Puzzles here, but at a higher price.  I haven’t seen the new Ravensburger in the UK or US yet, so if you’re really impatient, you can get them from Germany.

Also, Eurographics has released 2 new Kimono puzzles by Haruyo Morita. Very nice! One is on Amazon so far.

Enjoy your weekend!
