Review on ๐Ÿ—ผ Paris Time Puzzle by 4D Cityscape by Jimmy Franklin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

3D details are terribly inaccurate without real guidance

This is a nightmare for someone who grew up in Paris. I gave it two stars because both the 1805 and modern puzzles are fairly easy, but not overly so. Very beautiful. But when it comes to buildings, not only are they totally inaccurate shapes, very cheap bad plastic, but the main problem is that the shapes on the so-called building instructions and the 3D plastic don't match. Example: Pont des Arts has 6 equally spaced legs. There is no 3D bridge in plastic molds with six legs. Just one with 5 legs will do, 3 close together on one side and two on the other. And it's easy because it's the longest bridge, so you kind of get the length no matter how imprecise the shape is. The rest are just crazy with their inaccuracy. Also in the guide there are numbers of buildings on the map BUT there are no numbers on the forms and they are designed completely inaccurately. Everything would be fine if the guide gave real numbers, but they didn't. Build proper buildings. Please don't tell me it's a riddle. That would be a very lame excuse for a cheap, inaccurate puzzle. Probably made in China.

Pros
