I'm at my friends house and they are having a really hard time with the Others puzzle in this series (#2) and I've been helping them and we got all of 10 pieces in the las half hour. Apparently, there is a big spoiler after you finish it and we wanna see it, so if anyone has a picture of the finished puzzle (the front, not the back), please post it so we can finish this thing!

Thanks in advance!

imjustthatawsum, I'm pretty sure the other two puzzles come out in October and December. They are said to contain a fairly big spoiler, so they are holding them back. I'll do a little research later and get back to you.

Should I be as confused by this statement as I am?
Who takes pictures of the blank side of finished puzzles?

Here's what I found when I searched on Yahoo Shopping. I think I'll pick them up, but right now I've got a 3000+ piece 3D NYC that's taken over the kitchen table and all adjoining space. I always have a jigsaw going, it's great therapy, might as well be Lost!

Put all the pieces together...

with this all-new original puzzle solving concept. Based on the the hit ABC TV series, LOST, this set of four jigsaw puzzles each features a collage of images that relates to the specific theme of that puzzle. Once each puzzle is constructed and the collage is revealed, the builder will be treated to a secret to solving the mystery of the island. Each puzzle provides a specific and different clue, and best of all, there is a huge secret tie-in clue that can only discovered after building all four puzzles!

Set includes all four puzzles:

Item No. 7804 "The Hatch"
Item No. 7808 "The Others"
Item No. 7815 "The Numbers"
Item No. 7816 "Before the Crash"

The puzzles were developed with direct input from the LOST writers and contain information that is not available anywhere else! Careful consideration has been used to reveal the type of information that fans will want to have, but not so much that it will ruin the viewing experience of the show. The actual puzzle art does not appear anywhere on the boxes or in the images here on our site.

Each puzzle has 1000 pieces and is 19 x 26 inches in size, individually boxed, by TDC Games, 2006.

NOTE: This is a partial pre-order and partial in-stock set. Two puzzles are in stock now(Item Nos. 7804 and 7805 ship now) and 7815 ships in August and 7816 ships in December 2006...it's too big of a clue for this summer!) Your order will charged now since two puzzles are shipping now*. The final two puzzle will ship separately at no addition shipping charge in August and December. You may also order the puzzles separately to have them charged as they each ship (additional shipping applies that way). This set of 4 is the best shipping deal!

Try searching for it...I know there's a picture out there. I'm only going to be on for a little while, so I can't find it myself. But, for those who would like to know what's on the back...

It's a giant image of the Blast Door Map...and from what I can tell, the question mark in the middle has actual writing in it!!!!(I finished the Hatch puzzle, so I'm still just guessing

I'll put up pictures later...

Ok...it looks like I can't get a picture of the back. If the flash on the camera is on, it shows up white. Without the flash, you can't see anything. I've come to the conclusion that the only way to get it out there would be to draw it on paper, or use a pen and trace out the lines on the puzzle. Seeing as how I'm not going to deface my wonderful puzzles, I'm going to have to draw it on paper. Once I do get it finished, I will take a picture of that and get it on here.

Oh, and I now have the Others puzzle and am currently working on it. Maybe I can get it finished soon and relay some more information to everyone about what's on there.

Wait!! Don't do all that.......Does you camera have a manual setting where you can set the exposure time and aperature? Can you change the ISO? Do you have a tripod? Can you open the lens to f 22, shutter speed range of 1 sec to bulb? I'm guessing a 30 second exposure is about right at ISO 1600 Then you just......




Ummm, can you hire a photographer?

BTW, you can't take a pic of something that glows in the dark with a flash and without the flash, you need a very long exposure time. You probably have a simple digicam so you're right...it ain't gonna happen. Good luck with the drawing and thanks for doing it.

Yeah...just a simple digital camera. Sorry...this is the only way it's going to happen. I'll need all the good wishes I can get tho, since it's probably going to take a while.

FOR REAL - he has dozens and dozens of puzzles - 3D and all set up all over his house, in frames and everything - he takes his puzzeling very seriously! Seriously - this is the FIRST time I have heard of the puzzles - please tell me where to get them and then what - you put them together?? and then you flip them over and take a pic??? Really, I need details, cuz I will buy these for him for christmas and have him put them together and take whatever kinda pic - he's got a dark room and everything - he develops all his pics - has at least 10 different kinds of camaras and is an expert in taking/developing pics!

The puzzles can be bought online or at book stores (I know for sure that Barnes and Noble has them).

And yes...there will be four puzzles released in total. There are currently two that are available. The idea is that you put the puzzles together, and then flip them over.

There is a glow in the dark map on the back of the puzzles. Once all four have been put together and placed in the correct positions, the Blast Door Map will be shown.

Christmas may be a bit of a stretch...but any pictures of it will definitely going to be appreciated.

Those of you who do have the puzzles may want to go to (dare I say if you are not familiar with this area) spoilers and look up this thread "The back of the jigsaw puzzles - secret map and notations (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24207)". This has some pics as well as conversations about the hidden possibilities you can/may find from the puzzle being solved. This may help you on your quest. Thanks for listening...
