A treasure to be preserved.

I bought this for my 88 year old father to while away the time on cold winter days; In fact, this train was his 3D wooden puzzle. He really enjoyed putting them all together. I will always cherish them. Now select the next one.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Great gift! WARNING: very sensitive

They loved it! But whoever you give it to, make sure they have at least a little patience. It's definitely not something you can just rush into. They were in a hurry and ended up breaking a piece while trying to put something back together. In the end it becomes a life lesson :p

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some bugs

Highly recommended! - Puzzles

My eight year old bought this product and we put it together. It wasn't difficult but it took a long time (about 4 hours). We found using tweezers for tiny parts was very helpful. The device itself works better than expected. However, the bulb is very bright, so it works best in near-total darkness. My son loves this!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Fits

Not exactly EASY to assemble, but challenging and fun

I find it funny that one of the qualities you are asked to rate in this review is "easy to assemble". I bought it because it is definitely not easy to assemble but very difficult. I enjoyed every second! I gradually collected it, and it took about a week. I didn't want to try everything at once because I wanted to have fun and take my time. I tasked my 5 year old with helping me find and deliver certain pieces, although this is definitely not appropriate for a child in general. Parents should…

Poor quality materials/workmanship

This is my first experience with Robotime 3D Puzzles. I had the pleasure of collecting a treasure chest from Ugears and expected the same quality of materials and craftsmanship. Unfortunately the wood split easily and the laser cut was suboptimal. Many parts had to be sanded to remove the splinters. This puzzle also has design issues. Several pieces had to be clamped and glued to hold them in place. I give toy manufacturers points for imagination but will return to their competitors in the…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Almost never

Another great gift for dad

Started buying from this company to give dad. He's great at puzzles and building, so I knew he'd love it. Crafted items are somewhat interactive with cranks and gears. So far he has built a locomotive that races across the ground and makes chugging noises, and a marble maze/roller coaster. He was glad to receive it out of nostalgia. It has a real reel of film, a generator to turn on the lights, and authentic clicks. He reports that these kits are made from quality materials and take him about a

  • Great price

Doesn't move after assembly

Wow that was a great build, I think it would be difficult for a child. I did most of the assembly and my son helped put the pieces together. Several pieces were difficult to put together, not at all as easy as their video, which must have had perfectly smooth pieces. There were several burrs and splinters on the pieces popping out of the board. They provide a skinny 1 inch square of sandpaper. Three pieces broke during assembly, but only 1 came with a spare so I had to apply superglue. Luckily,
