Hi! ![]()
Today I’m sharing the second update on this kit, which I’m really enjoying so far.
I really put in a solid two hours today—and even though it might not show in the progress, haha, they’re definitely there.
One thing I’d like to mention is that when I wrote my first review of this brand—which was for a Halloween kit exactly a year ago—
I noted that you’d practically wear your fingers out working on the kit, since the pieces were difficult to fit together.
They’ve really improved that aspect—the wood is of better quality, it doesn’t require as much sanding anymore, and most of the pieces fit together much better!
It is a great step forward for this brand.
One thing I didn’t really like is that all the lights in this kit are connected; they cannot be detached from the battery pack. It’s a bit inconvenient to work with the entire kit this way.
Regarding the lights—they’ve improved this as well; the top part of each light is a specific color (I already mentioned this in the section about the mansion).
It would be great if Robotime implemented this across the board; it makes it so much easier to identify which light is which based on the color of the top part, rather than having to rely on the length of the wire.
This is the progress I’ve made today. As you can see, once you attach that white cable, the entire light pack stays in place, and you have to build around it.
They also mention that it’s a shame it runs on batteries, given that it’s a new kit; a USB-C port would have been better. After all, with so many kits that use batteries, the cost of constantly replacing them really adds up…
See you in the 3rd update!
