It looks great! It is so intricate and delicate!

This is, and always will be, my favorite build! For about a year, I just let it cuckoo whenever it wanted. Then, I decided I wanted the chime exactly on the hour, and it became a new challenge! After days and days of turning the hands to the click and trying to keep it on time, it is now on the hour every hour!

It brings me joy every time I hear it!

I can’t wait to do this one! Can’t wait to see yours completed! Have fun!

Thank you for the link. I’ve never been one to join a community, but I really feel I found my “gang”!

• What was your biggest concern when you first started?
Honestly? When Rolife Supercreator series was just launched- it’s the quota. :face_holding_back_tears:

Yes. QUOTA. I kept thinking, what if I don’t hit it?

I first discovered the Rolife Supercreator Series back in 2024, and I instantly fell in love. When the seller mentioned if we reached a certain number of orders we can get a batch discount, I knew I had to make it happen.

I told myself, there’s no way I’m missing out on this. :face_holding_back_tears:

How did you overcome it?
I went all in.

I immediately ordered 6 sets, 8 glass doors, and 2 roofs because I was that excited and determined. Then I started posting in different groups, promoting the Supercreator Series, and reaching out to fellow toy collectors.

I really put myself out there and pushed for it.

And then… it finally happened. :sparkles:
The seller messaged me to confirm that the order would go through.

That moment felt so rewarding.

What surprised you the most afterward?
How many people loved the Supercreator Series just as much as I did. :face_holding_back_tears:

There were so many fellow collectors who shared the same excitement, and it made the whole experience even more special.

In the end, it truly proved that it was worth the wait. :pink_heart::sparkles:

I still have 2 unopened Super Creator Series, 1 Becca Bakery and 3 Magical Instruments :pink_heart:

OMG!!! I did not see that! Woohoo! Another build for me to do, and a beautiful one at that (but, aren’t they all)!! THANK YOU!!!

Hey! I am there for you! I had actually messaged them because they said draw date was 4/3 and nothing was posted.
Tried to get them to pick me but as you can see, they did not. So the least I could do was make sure the winners saw!

Well you can blame this interesting journey on @Tricia12 . She had some of her beautiful builds on display at my local pharmacy and each time I went in I just couldn’t keep my eyes of them. I eventually gave in around December 2025 and thought I think I can do this. I had previously bought my husband a couple of ROKR kits but nothing like these cute rolife miniatures.

Then as luck would have it is noticed a little notice about a get together of robotime builders in a week’s time….so I registered. I hadn’t even started the kit i bought yet so thought I’d take it with me to the get together. To my surprise and delight I met @Tricia12 who had little gift kits for us…. That was my first introduction. Subsequently my daughter who had already made a kit and my husband who had made previou builds decided they too wanted to share the joy and came to the next get together. The rest is history….we have a kit building family…..

I even tried to rope my son in and bought him a ROKR telescope :telescope: which is still sitting unopened in his room. I guess it’s not for every body.

This was my first build care of @Tricia12

Thank you so much and looking forward to see you at the next event.

It was the pick up truck from ugears. I tjink you know it.

This is a wonderful story and I’m so glad you discovered the hobby.

Hmmm…I don’t recall ever seeing it…but it sounds super cool. It may have been before you joined the community..??

I started during the pandemic to curb the boredom. It was a coffee shop (sorry, not sure of the brand; Robotime or Rolife, or Cutebee) and was very intricate and detailed. I struggled with the wired furniture but was up for the challenge. I would work for hours at a time, neck and shoulders would ache, fingers were raw, but I couldn’t stop. The whole project was complex, but relaxing. And the outcome made me feel so creative, and whimsical. I could not wait to get another.

I love your candy stand :candy:

That’s the magic of these miniature kits: they demand patience and precision, but reward you with something whimsical and creative at the end.
