I don't know where you'd get a huge one but have you ever seen a Wasgij?
The picture on the box is not the one you make up - it'll be from a different angle or maybe in a different time. They're 1000 piece puzzles and you can get them in Argos.

The toy shop across the street from the back entrance to Jervis (Toys r us i think) has a few 5000/10000 piece ones i think

Art and Hobby shop. They do cool 3D ones as well.

They're all over the place - dundrum, jervis, nutgrove

I would also reccommend Wasgijs... there good fun and really challenging. I went through a phase of constantly doing them. Try eBay or the art and hobby shop in Dun Laoghaire (there's more around the country but I'm not sure where)

EDIT: Too late, someone else knows where other art and hobby shops are!

My bad, I forgot to mention the whole housebound-due-to-cancer thing

Thanks for the helpful advice all, I found a 960-piece 3D puzzle ball of the globe in toymaster near jervis st for 50 quide, think I'll go for that. Unless someone else has done it and it's crap

You should try one of the impossi-puzzle ones. They're fiendishly difficult. They're typically loads of the same things in one picture e.g. a pile of baked beans or a pile of jelly beans or something. Some of them are double sided as well with another ridiculously hard one on the back.

Have a look here, although if you don't have a c/card there's probably not much hope in finding one in a "bricks & mortar" shop.

They're a lot cheaper than 50 snots as well.

I'm sorry to hear of the cancer and I wish your girlfriend a speedy recovery.
Don't know about the 3d puzzle ball, I've never done one - it might be good.
Jigzone.com is a good site for online jigsaws too, it's got hundreds of jigsaws
and you can decide how many pieces, what cut etc. They're great for passing time.
