It was fairly tedious to build, especially given that the glue included is a little weak but it’s doable and the finally product is worth it. I might be best to get some tacky glue to use Read more

Gave as a gift to my daughter. She loved it. Got put together in one day, she said it was a challenge, but worth it. Would buy more of these projects Read more

I got this for my 20 year old who is an avid reader. We spent approximately 6 hours assembling this together and had a great time doing so. It looks great on her bookshelf and she is considering another. I have built models in the past, so it was easy enough for me to complete, but novice builders, especially doing this on their own, can expect to spend a few extra hours. Take your time though, you will pleased once completed. It is very detailed and surprisingly does not require glue, though if you plan to move it around a lot, I'd recommend gluing some of the looser pieces. My only negative is that this does not have a dust guard as some of these kits do. All in all, a great project for the book lover or modeler. Read more

This is not the first time I've purchased a Robotime kit, but definitely one of the more simple one. In the other kits, there are more work in creating each individual pieces that requires a lot of cutting and glue usages. For this kit, it was mainly snapping pieces together. All the pieces are colored already with what appear to be high quality paint. Each cuts are smooth, making the need of sanding down the edges minimal. Some sequence in the build are not properly though out. For instance, assembling the battery compartment was in the very beginning of the build. The direction said to insert it into the floor and lock it in place. This is bad choice. The battery compartment has a key which protrude out, while trying to assemble the other pieces, there is a good chance to the key could be snake. The insertion of it should have been left at the end when everything was finished The biggest downside is the directions are in black and white, unlike the other Robotimes kit which were in color. This kit is not for people who what to spend time building the individual pieces but for people who are more use to legos. A final advice is to not use follow the directions on the stickers. After the kit is 99% done, take a look at while picture, then decide if the sticker should be used. Personally, I felt the stickers made the whole bookshelf too busy. Read more
