Review on πŸ” Enhanced SEO: ROKR Vitascope Mechanical Wooden Construction Kit by Fredo Zhan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Working hours are wasted.

This was my first ROKR branded product but I have completed countless ROBOTIME miniatures that appear to be from the same company. It took 4 hours to put together and one of the parts was not cut and therefore cannot be fully assembled. I wanted to give this product 5 stars because I've had fun building it up to this point, despite some minor issues with the handle that I was able to fix with some adjustments rather than disassembling. Unfortunately I don't have a laser cutter and am not very good at using the X-Acto knife to cut 1/4" wood and for $50 I don't feel I should. I understand that some things happen during production, but all parts, even if expensive, must be checked before they are packaged and sold to the consumer. Especially something with such complexity. While I've had less than excellent experiences with this product, don't be tempted not to invest; Just check all your pieces for a clear black line on the back to avoid my stupidity. This was my first wooden model of this kind and I couldn't think of looking at it.
