Title: G1 pony puzzles: are they worth anything when missing a few pieces?
Post by: 01mlplover on April 22, 2017, 12:16:35 PM

This may have been asked before or maybe there's another topic on it somewhere but I've got a few puzzles from my childhood that are missing a few pieces and didn't know if they're something I could sell or if they're pretty worthless other than childhood memories. I've been trying to slim down my collection to mainly ponies and not merch but I've come to a hard spot with these. Any thoughts would be appreciated  ^.^

I imagine someone might be interested, especially if you have the boxes?

They should be at least worth a couple of dollars.

I'm not terribly sure, but even if you dont end up selling them, you could always use the pieces for a cute craft project  :D

I don't think they'd sell for a lot, but I bet you will get interest in them.  The box art is so pretty that even with just the box the puzzles are pretty cute.

There are also people out there with the skills to reprint/cut replacement pieces. I used to work with someone who would do it from time to time when a piece was missing from a puzzle. It was pretty impressive actually. Couldn't tell the difference.
