ROKR 3D Wooden Puzzles Luminous Globe 3D Wooden Model Kits to Build for Adults Brain Teaser Puzzles Bithday Gifts

Purchased as a Xmas gift. Bought Roka models previously so knew they were good quality.

These look awesome, such good value for money. First box served damaged, but second one was okay. Really looking forward to seeing the receiver open up the present. They saw one at a garden centre, they have their own to build.

Bought this as a gift for my partner and it was good. They built it in 1-2 hours. Some of the bits were a bit fiddly but they got there in the end.

A good build, but very fiddly and awkward in places. Especially awkward were getting the longitudinal struts to stay together whilst fitting the latitude horizontal rings - flying together would have been easier with hindsight. The odd the first struts broke and its a credit to Rokr that they posted out replacements free of charge. Despite the wire being very carefully fitted as the instructions showed, and the tiny plug pushed into the corresponding socket - the he right way up as the instructions show - it did not work. Tried switching on and off a few times. So the Illuminated aspect of the Globe - doesn't. *Edit - following a fast on Facebook which I saw, I half peeled away some of the Globes segments, with difficulty, and changed the orientation of the tiny plug, with difficulty, pulled it out and pushed it in the WRONG way ROUND according to the instructions, and then it lit up! It's a gorgeous item. All the gearing and rotation works. And now it lights up too.

I purchased this item for my husband. He really enjoyed making the globe. Took him a couple of days because he didn't want to rush it or break any of the tiny parts. He's really happy with it.

Why did you choose this product over others?: I really like this product but the one thing that made it really hard to create was that the instructions were terrible and not very clear.

I absolutely love these puzzles, this is my 3rd one and I have just ordered another one. I am going to run out of space soon. The instructions are nice and clear and there are sections that have QR codes so that you can watch videos on how to assemble parts of the model. I have this infuriating ability to put parts on upside down, only to realise later on of my mistake meaning I have to disassemble and correct it, so watch out for that. Over all they are fun and can be challenging to build. Some of the pieces are quite fragile and are easy to snap, you do get multiples of some pieces incase of breakage/loss. I think this one took me a good 5-7 hours to complete (I can’t remember exactly).

Nice project & lovely ones built. Instructions sometimes not so clear , but thanks to Utube plenty of people have done it before! My only complaint is that the plastic segments of the map even using the self adhesive tape come a bit undone. Mechanisms a bit stiff , but someone had a good tip about using Vaseline to oil wheels.
