1980’s Montage by Eduard – Wentworth – 250 pieces

This was an EXTREMELY entertaining puzzle to assemble, and we all worked on it – sister and brother-in-law, hubby, and myself all had a hand in putting this one together. It’ll be no surprise that we all loved it. Who doesn’t love the wild and colorful 80’s?

From boomboxes and video games to our favorite hair bands and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man – this was a great image to work with. At 250 pieces it was just the right amount of challenging, and we all enjoyed working together to get it assembled.

The whimsies in this one were so much fun to look through! A Polaroid camera, an outfit with big shoulder pads, a DeLorean, a cassette tape, and even a Casio watch – they were all perfect for this puzzle.

I was a little too old for Strawberry Shortcake in the 80s, but this section with the bright colors was one of my favorites to assemble.

Polly Pocket. This is another toy from the 80s that I never really got into or played with, but I took this picture because it brings to mind my mom. She was the best grama in the world (although she was named Meema by her oldest grandchild and that is what she was called forever after) and she took being a great Meema very seriously. She loved having fun toys for all the grandkids to play with, and she kept a big bucket of Polly Pocket toys for all the grandchildren to enjoy. There was something about the tiny little dolls and their houses and accessories that all the girls (and some of the boys) loved to play with, and Meema loved playing with them too. She was a big kid at heart, and she loved having these little tiny toys for her grandbabies. She was awesome. 💗

I’m so glad I took this puzzle with us on vacation, we all had a wonderful time assembling it, and it brought back so many memories of our youth. In my head the 1980’s doesn’t seem that long ago at all, but then when you do the math and realize the 80s started more than FORTY years ago – yikes! Where did all the time go?!?
