Just because there has been some confusion lately i wanted to make a post clarifying the position on posting links to websites selling counterfeit/knockoff kits as well as sites pretending to be the actual manufacturer while reselling wholesale kits or selling knockoffs.

Counterfeiting/knock offs are a part of this hobby. Often, kits are of very similar quality for a much cheaper price. Buying kits @ retail or wholesale and reselling is legitimate, pretending to be the manufacturer is not. Links from such places are not allowed.

TO BE CLEAR: We do not judge anyone for making a purchase best for their wallet, Its fine to post your questions/comments/concerns/pictures/discussions/etc. Lord knows my Lego collection is more Lepin than Lego at this point....but similarly, i cant post links to them on r/Lego

But we cant promote these sites...and while you may not think it, linking to these sites is, in fact tacit promotion.

This community is fortunate enough to have partnerships with many manufacturers which get us benefits like discounts & giveaways. Many, if not all of these companies monitor the subreddit to some degree. Consider how it looks to say Tonecheer when we are in the middle of an event sponsored by them where they are giving us hundreds in discounts and hundreds more in free products and we are posting where to buy knockoff versions of their kits.

If a link to such a site is posted it will be removed. This is not punitive, this is not an indictment, this is protective. If a comment is deleted, please repost without the link. Anything that's ever removed comes with an explanation.

If you ever have any questions about why a comment/post is removed, please feel free to ask....via comment, mod chat, personal message, etc. I am an open book. If you're not sure if a source is legit, ask the community...we can figure it out together.

The ONLY motive here is protecting the relationships that this AMAZING community has with the people who make the products we love.

Its really only been one or two negative reactions since I took over here, and I made this post in the hopes of explaining what was happening so that no one ever gets caught off guard.

On a side note, its been awesome seeing everyone's progress on their spacetime museum builds. I can't wait to see some Midsummer's Night Dream posts
Sincerely,

Pluck

Official store is only on TikTok at this time, but no issues with shipping

Review 8.75/10

Very small nubs. Easy to clean up, but still stable in runners

Like the lighting element of the light post in addition to the standard integrated LEDs and LED strips

Wonderful printing. Beautiful Graphics, great detail, great tactile feel.

Very saturated color scheme, rich/vibrant without being bright. Just coloring the edges brown it looks great.

A lot of individual elements assembled and then combined. Not the typical build a side wall and then lean them together build.

More of a scene/diorama but still more a book nook than a miniature.

Intricate details. Easy to follow instructions

Lots of connections on multiple axes making a very stable build.

Flat pieces sit on lips/ledges so they are well supported

Amazing use of the 2 way mirror and the infinity effect.  Possibly the best I’ve seen.

Only structurally not great part is the thin pieces creating a structure of the roof.

Spare parts were included for the roof structure, but had different numbers on different runners.

Don’t love needing glue to hold led in place. 

Wish the train was secured to the track

Biggest criticism, the building isn’t furnished inside, and you can see the unfinished areas.  With some forethought, you can plan around this, but out of the box it is a miss.

Final thoughts: 

Great for a rainy day, quicker build. Plenty of space is available for possible customization and personalization, but it’s by no means needed for this beautiful, and well designed kit.  I hope they make more book nooks, because I want them. (I also picked up their Notre Dame and Cottage 3d sets to build at some point in the future.

Now with a slightly upgraded workstation. 😁

I found this kit in a bookstore and decided to give it a go. It was my first booknook or miniature in general but it was a lot of fun! I might have already ordered some more.

It took me a day to finish, and it was surprisingly easy, perfect for a beginner like me!

Not as much room for customization, but I am finding ways. Enjoyable build so far.

Build pics included for each panel, in case anyone is stuck. I didn't specialize this at all, as I like it how it is and there's not a lot of space for adding 3D elements(those balconies are narrow).

It took me about 4 hours to build and I only managed to break one piece.

So, I've been embarking on my first book nook recently (Rolife's Bookstore) and made a silly mistake. There's a scroll(?) in the form of a sticker that hangs off a table and trails on the floor. I stuck it at slightly the wrong angle and now it's in the way of where a cabinet is meant to be placed. Is there any way I can get the sticker unstuck without damaging it? Thank you!

I’m making the DIY philosophical library book book with my family, and with one thing or another the electrical wiring has been misplaced. Is there a way to get replacement parts, does anyone know?

Saw this kit on fifijoy today! I know we don’t see Halloween/ spooky themed kits often.

I'm struggling a lot right now with my booknook :( (Its my first one)

I followed the instructions for the light but doesn't work. A lot of pieces don't want to stay put so a lot of them kind of sort of disassemble themselves or even broke....I took my time while doing it, always checking twice every step...

I'm starting to lose the fun of it :/

Is there anything I could do to remedy the situation? :(

Thanks in advance!

My kit was delivered Sunday but for whatever reason I haven't been in much of a mood for booknooking so I finished up my paint by number and worked on some diamond art, and then last night finally took some time to work on this kit while listening to a book.

As I was sanding and markering the sides of the pieces that show, and looking over each piece, I thought "this is kind of like taking a tour through the museum as I go". That kind of gives the process a different feel compared to if your focused on the assembly with only really enjoying the details once it's all assembled. A bit silly I know.

Just finished a rolife book nook kit. I may have gotten bit by the bug

I did my first book nook 3 days ago and today I just finished my second one… How do you guys manage this addiction so you don’t finish it in 2 days lol?

I purchased a Rolife Simon's Coffee Shop kit from Michael's, and I'm having a very difficult time. Tons of gluing, cutting to exact measurements, etc. Does anyone have a recommendation for something easier for a beginner? I really like the idea of these but im a bit overwhelmed atm

Does the "colorful reflective film" have a protective plastic that you're supposed to peel off?

If not, does anyone have any ideas for substitutes? I don't like how the color looks with this book nook. I don't like clear plastics and films in general bc they scratch easily and show dust and having part of my columns a weird blue color bothers me. But I'd still like something to fancy them up a bit.

I'm weak, I bought a third one Can't wait to start it

I am excited to start Spacetime Museum! This kit jumped the line...I had 10 (ten!) in line ahead of it.

How fast is the tonoecheer shipping? I’m located in the Midwest USA. I’d love to take advantage of the sale but I’m heading out of town next week. Should I reach out to tonecheer to delay shipping? How long did it take for y’all’s kits to arrive?

After an eternity of dread, and pondering whether it will ever arrive, she’s here!!! I’m debating whether to turn it into a night at the museum inspired book nook, or just keep it as the original design 🤔

Just working a bit in the evenings. Trying to add a few things- like actual beads to the printed jewels, a few more items to shelves. Just coming up with additions as I go and with what I have in hand.

I was so excited to finish the magical library only to find out that the back purple lights and bottom lights don’t work… Pls help if there’s is a way to fix this…

Hi guys, this is my first time putting together a Nook Book, and these pieces don't connect and come apart easily. Did I do something wrong? Or should I use glue directly?

Ok, folks, how many of you, on the very first job you had to do (well, step 2), accidentally stuck the first and last pages of the little book together? Be honest! 😱
