Mecrob Arvostelua 129

I was excited when this kit arrived. Early in the assembly I realized that things were not going together very well. There were times when it was very difficult to get the screws and nuts assembled and it became frustrating.

In the end, I found that the gears did not move smoothly and some parts could not be properly put together.

I was not impressed with this kit and probably will not attempt another.

Bought Aetherwing kit earlier this month. Was not expecting such good quality and thoroughly enjoyed building it. Kit arrived within 2 weeks, all parts clearly labelled, and detailed build manual. Now saving up for another of their products.

Absolutely top quality, detailed models. I have built four and I’m just starting my fifth. They can be challenging to assemble but very satisfying when completed.
Customer support has always been excellent and they are very responsive.
Only downside is that the delivery timescales can be long...but good things come to those who wait 😁

The model was poorly designed to get to work well. More improvements in the way it is put together is needed so gears line up better. Gave it two stars for looks only.

Can’t even review the product yet as it hasn’t been received. Ordered several weeks ago. I am in total belief that this company is somehow making up tracking data. Item gets to a location then sits for several days with a USPS tracking number that if you go to the USPS tracking website it says waiting for item then it sits for days. I totally understand sitting possibly for days waiting for the item to clear customs but once it’s in country it just sits with false misleading information.

I built the Athercore Base. It is very difficult to assemble. Getting some nuts on screws in tight spaces is very difficult. The gear that moves the arm up and down has too much play because the holes holding it are oblong with nothing to keep it in place. It doesn't align and mesh. There was one minor part missing that I could do without. Sad to spend so much time and effort building this and it malfunctions.

La commande s'est bien passée même si, c'est vrai, j'avais des doutes sur le sérieux de la boîte. Les délais de livraison ont été annoncés et respectés. Le système de suivi de livraison est parfait. Le produit est qualitatif et les explications de montage faciles à suivre. Je suis contente de mon achat.

Bought a combo Aetherwings and Aethecore which once built, are outstanding to watch The models are not easy to assemble it at least the one i did, the customer service could be better, they were very nice to ship the order and some replacements parts free of charge which I broke during the assemble,the only reason why i did not give 5 stars is because instructions manual are too little and if you need some help with support or delay of you parcel you don't really get any responses, which it's not very nice. Besides that the models are outstanding.

I'll admit I was a little anxious about ordering from Mecrob. Would the kit be as good as described? Would I actually be able to build it? Would it even arrive?

Well, I'll never be anxious again. Minerva's Mercy arrived in the stated time (around 2 weeks, perfectly acceptable) and was beautifully packaged and presented. The instructions were pretty clear and easy to follow. There were a couple of ambiguities but they resolved themselves as the build progressed.

There were no missing parts and, in fact, plenty of spares should anything break (nothing did).

Including decent tools was a boon. All I had to add was a couple of pairs of tweezers - try screwing on a 2mm nut with fumbling, slightly shaky sausage fingers :-D

It took me about 3 days to build as I've never attempted anything like this before (and I'm old and shake a bit) and I have to say I enjoyed every moment.

The end result is fantastic, absolutely awesome.

I won't hesitate to buy another model as soon as funds allow.

Thank you, Mecrob, for being true to your description of this fantastic kit.

The nidhogg main body does not include head or wings. Intentionally misleading your customers is not cool.

I ordered 2 kits, and got a great offer on a 3rd, so I ordered that one also. Got both sets in less than 2 weeks, and even got some freebie specials added, which was great.

I can't give them 5 stars. It's true they're not 100% on the parts. The first small robot kit I built, one piece was missing from Step 1. Not a good way to start. So far I'm though the 2 small kits, i was able to rig the piece I needed. But if you don't have extra parts, you might be stuck.

A really good company to deal with I have bought several models from Mecrob and the after sales service has been second to none they really bend over backwards to make sure you have a good build and best of all they always reply to e mails promptly As long as I am able I hope to buy a few more models from Mecrob.Bernard

Ordered the scavenger and spider that did arrive in good time but was disappointed with the model as I found the cheap ones went together better than this and I completed it in at least half time less time than stated, It doesn't stand very well, After giving them a low review on website they have removed it and probably why there's not many reviews on there, For this alone I won't buy from them or recommend them

Was a little concerned ordering from them due to some poor reviews, but I decided to take a gamble.
Really pleased with the lantern fish I purchased. Item arrived in about ten days from china to the uk. Really nicely boxed and good instructions. The model was a joy to make and had plenty of spare parts left over. If I’m after another model to make I would decently use mecrob again.

Loved it!!!

The kits are really fun and challenging to build. The packaging is good and the instructions are well laid out. I've built several of the Mecrob kits and plan on building several more. The kits make you use your hands and brain which is very beneficial at any age!

Snelle zending en goede kwaliteit product.
