LOST Jigsaw Puzzle #1

[katmarie24]

Hey everyone!

I just finished the first LOST Jigsaw Puzzle! It's 1000 pieces, and has a warning on the box about Spoilers! I've just finished taking pictures of all the sections. It also has glow-in-the-dark writting on the back, which I assume has the majority of the spoilers. One section is quite interesting, it shows the Swan station AFTER the explosion in the Season 2 finale. I haven't started to analyze the pictures yet, or read the writing on the back. I just finished putting it together.

So, let the discussion begin!

I'll post the full view here, then the close-ups in a few minutes.

Since all of these are pretty big and high quality, I'm not going to post them all here. BUT, they are all publically displayed on Ringo. You don't need an account.

Just go to www.ringo.com and in the "find a friend" search box, type in Kathleen A.

Mine is my kindergarten picture, and you should see the puzzle pics right away. I have a folder for "The Lost Experience" All the close ups are in there!!

Holy crap...that's GREAT!

[Mix Master Mike]

how much was the puzzle?

[Uncle Igmar]

Who's the guy writing?

[katmarie24]

I'm not sure how much it was. I live in Japan, and my parents brought it with them when they came for a visit last month. My guess is about $20 or so.

do you mean the close up of the hand on the left of the center, or the small pic in the right upper corner?

The one on the left is a close up of Locke, trying to draw the map on a page of that bood... think it was the same book he gave to Fenry to read, no idea how to spell his name, so i won't even try. The brothers.. something starts with a D.

The other one in the upper right is Kelvin Inman. It took me a few min. to recognize him too.

Anyone know what that reddish pic with the white/yellow something in the middle is? It's near Kelvin, in the upper right. It's driving me crazy!!

Isn't there supposed to be something on the back as well?

[Mix Master Mike]

wow are you suppose to check the back? you would have to like tape it or something and then flip it!

[katmarie24]

Yeah, there is glow-in-the-dark paint on the back. I used jigsaw puzzle glue, and I've been able to read some of it, but most of it is in really difficult scrawly handwriting, so it's really tough to read. So i've been putting it under a lot of light, then trying... here is what I can read so far... (oh BTW, I thin that it will add on to the other 3 puzzles, it seems that all the writing is in the lower left part, which makes me think that it will make one HUGE thing when it's done. Also some of the words are incomplete, would make sense if it was continued on another puzzle)

"NTRANET
THIS BORDER"

"POSSIBLE OFF SHORE
DATA DUMP?"

"SUPORT FOR"

"ARROW STATION
- FRIENDLY FUNCTION -
RESTOCKING AND STAGING AREA
FOR DI H.G."

(Map of Arrow Hatch, followed by an equation)
approximately "H= M 2 / Gp2K "

That's all I've gotten so far, need to have some more time to flood it with light and have another go!

[jacksloststepkid]

Yeah, I'd heard all four puzzles assemble into a big version of the hatch map, not sure if there are any changes from the original one. I'd heard there would be some new clues on it.

One quick note. If you want to see the close ups... when you go to www.ringo.com you need to type in "kathleen allen" into the "find a friend" box. for some reason it shows up as "Kathleen A" after you get the results, but if you type that in in the first place, it dosen't work. strange.

I should be the first choice and you will see puzzle pics. I have them all in a folder called "The Lost Experience"

I just started putting together the second one. Does anyone know what the writing mean?

[hansosjesusstick]

...u have the second one already...it's weird my local sports store has lost 1 puzzle lol

[mmdg]

I have 1 through 3. I don't think 4 has come out yet.
Even though this company had horrible customer service for me, timespacetoys.stores.yahoo.net/lomyofisjipu.html, I thought I would mention where I got my puzzles from.
