Watch out for the fakes!

Look what I found out in the wild today. :clap:

This was advertised to me from a company that is not Rolife or Rowood. It’s a blatant rip off especially the clouds, the tree, the corners, the frame, the lamp post and the orbs.

Here is the real one that I assembled.

Now check out this other fake I found. Same packaging and everything not Rowood.

A lot of fakes and copies everywhere. All you real ones, pay attention. :face_exhaling:

I always buy from stores I’m sure sell the real stuff.

And that’s why I only buy from the official website, an actual store, or Amazon :rofl:

Brands like that tend to have enhanced photos that don’t truely reflect their product.

Most likely, it’s the Rolife one that actually looks more attractive in person.

I only really buy from the Robotime website, unless it’s older kits you can’t get anymore! Thanks for the tip! :blush:

That sunflower looks almost the same :pensive_face:

I still prefer Rolife over these knock offs

I always buy the originals but must admit that I like the one with the couple. They’ve used the basis of Van Gogh’s Starry Night just like Rolife.
I agree that the sunflower is a rip off but that too is based on Van Gogh I believe.

Even the packaging looks similar. No originality at all. :face_with_steam_from_nose:

It likely doesn’t look that good in real life. These companies tend to use heavily enhanced photos.

Wow the sunflower looks quite identical. :sob:This reminds me of all the imitation Cathy’s Flower Houses out there.

I don’t normally buy online so I’ve avoided them so far. And if I do it’s only via trusted websites. :crossed_fingers:

I saw a bunch of the wooden flowers on Temu. I did a double take because they look so similar to the Robotime flowers.

Oh wow… that’s so frustrating to see :pensive_face: Thank you for sharing this and warning everyone. It’s always best to double-check the seller and support the original creators!

I would say the one from Rolife is a lot better. However, the other kits has its own charm.
