Sun Chaser

Pas facile au départ mais un plaisir a faire pour se détendre. Je vais en commander un autre !

Great product! I have many of Mecrobs sculptures and all of them have been intricate and fun.

it definitely took me longer than 6 hours like it said on the box, more like 11 but that's not a complaint. Directions were very easy to use and all the parts were packed very well.

Takes time to put together all of the pieces

Had a lot of fun building this! And the end result looks great. The only thing I have is that the lights in the eyes stop switching from blue to red after they are on for some time and just go on and off in the red color. I don't know what causes this but when I leave them off for some time and put them back on the blue is back for some time again. Anyway, other than that I'm very happy with this and i recommend it.

took me longer than 6 hours but that’s expected cus it was my first time building something like this. i really enjoyed building it and was a great challenge for me. highly recommend!

I was certainly skeptical about how easy it would be, and whether the item would match the actual description/photo. But it did! It seemed daunting because of all the different parts but they are all labeled and the directions are so clear! Compared to the other mechanical puzzles, this is definitely the best as far as I can tell. Definitely good for beginners in my opinion! Lead time was around 1 month for delivery, but I know they recently ramped up manufacturing so it might be faster now! I just ordered the lamp and it shipped out next business day!

Gorgeous build!!
This is my first assembly with mecrob. I had so much fun! The instructions are detailed, many parts came with extras, nothing missing, everything fits.

I am currently putting together the Anglerfish. This is my first kit and it is really cool. Exactly what I was hoping for in a challenge. Went ahead and ordered the bull for when this one is done.

A few things that would help the average builder.... (1) more separation of the parts by style (per bag) to help locate during building (2)Larger blowups of the construction steps. I found the online manual to compliment the small paper one, but zoomed images get pixelated. (3) better quality wrench (or better yet 4 individual handled drivers) rather than a tiny combi-wrench. It's too easy for the nuts to pass too far into the wrench and end up too deep inside and not turning.

Other than the tools, materials are great quality. Shipping times could be better.

Takes a little patience, but the instructions are easy to follow and when you're done you have a very cool metal insect.

For people asking about batteries, the batteries are LR-621 watch batteries.You can buy them almost anywhere. Amazon has 2 10 packs for about 9 dollars.If your lights do not work then the batteries may be upside down. Try turning them over.Worked for me.

Hours leaning over the workbench, and getting all of those little nuts started in tight spaces was challenging, but putting all of those hundreds of pieces together made me better able to savor the complexity of this little robot ... and unlike most models, the closer you look, the better it gets! It isn't just super-cool, it is a super-cool thing that I built.

Advice:
- small 4mm and 5mm nut-drivers will make much work easier.
- the pieces on the legs need to be very tight (from the start).

There's pros and cons to this. It took a month to finally arrive which was annoying. I figured it's because they had to get the parts and package each type. Each piece came identifiable in small bags, but there's a lot. Like, a lot... don't try to do this unless you have a big and flat area like a table or desk that you can use. Some pieces are small and are frustrating to use. For example the lock nuts. I need to use the pliers and screwdriver to tighten the lock nuts which is very frustrating at times. The tools it came with are pretty good quality. Especially since they didn't *have* to include them. Directions are easy to follow and straightforward. Not to mention that this looks so cool once you're done with it.

I got this for my husband as a surprise, and it took probably 2 weeks to get here. Difficult to keep it a surprise for so long, but he loves it! He was a Lego kid and this really is just updated adult legos. Definitely worth the wait for it to get here

I really recommend this one. The result is super beautiful. I’m an adult and did this pretty much quick but I think this would be a great gift for a child or teen that likes to build stuff !
