Hello! ![]()
Today I’m sharing the final post about this Japanese kit that was recently released.
Honestly, it all started—as you know—because I thought it was a Rolife kit, haha! Since it’s a “book nook” style, I just assumed it was, but nope—it’s actually a ROKR kit. Plus, it’s my very first kit from this Robotime product line.
I’ve found many inconsistencies, even though it’s the same brand.
The material requires a lot of sanding and waxing.
The pieces don’t fit together, for the reasons I explained earlier.
The instructions are confusing and contain errors—and they’re already quite complex to begin with.
In short, anyone who buys a ROKR kit should expect more work, a greater need for concentration, and a higher level of difficulty.
On the other hand, it makes me happy to see more Japanese-themed kits being released—that’s always a joy!
However, it’s true that most of them tend to follow the same path; I believe Japan has so much more to offer—they could certainly draw inspiration from other themes.
I love how it opens up, allowing you to see everything up close; the colors are beautiful, and the fact that it features music, sounds, and movement makes for the perfect combination.
Now, what I like most—positive and negative aspects:
Positive:
Attractive design
Features music
Includes sounds
Moves
Eye-catching colors
Inspired by Japan
Side door that opens
Good illumination at the light points
The QR codes work and are very intuitive, helping with difficult assembly tasks.
Negatives:
The pieces don’t fit together properly due to how they are manufactured and the placement of the holes.
The material arrived dirty—specifically the exterior panels.
There is no light in the bottom-right section.
Errors in the assembly manual.
Errors in the instructional videos.
The bag of plastic parts is not mentioned in the instructions
Everything splinters and requires sanding.
The “Japanese train” theme is overused.
The power button’s cable was defective, and I had to fix it myself.
Overall, it’s a nice and pleasant kit, which could be even better with a few improvements.
As always, I’m sharing the video I’ve created, in case you’d like to take a look and support me on Instagram!
