As per request, here is an unboxing of Seoul Hipjiro that I filmed a while back, but for some reason, never got around to posting.
What I DO remember is that it is comparable to Kowloon, Yowarat, Shanghai and Paris Midnight in terms of that ERA of Anavrin, and that it is, by far, their most colorful kit.
Can anyone tell me what all of the Korean says?
Guys,Guys, Gals, and Book Nook Pals Today, we're taking a look at—The 1950s Diner Book Nook by —Fifijoy
Fifijoy is really cooking up something with another original book nook. This two tier 50's style American Diner is something unique.
While some people may not love the mascot, there are lots of interesting 3D elements and some novel building materials i have not yet seen in a kit.
Thematically, its also one of a kind and a welcome addition to someone who wants a diverse collection.

Guys,Guys, Gals, and Book Nook Pals Today, we're taking a look at—-the Brand New Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City (in the 1990s) book nook by — Book Nook Global
Did you know that Saigon and Ho Chi Minh City are different names for the same place? You do now!
If you're not familiar with BNG's signature style, they were the manufacturers of Anavrin's early Book Nooks, and they specialize in a layered design with multiple thinner layers to create a wonderfully intricate final result.
This very colorful model gives a beautiful snapshot of Saigon in the 1990s

Tonecheer wanted me to reach out to the community and warn you guys of a surge in sites selling counterfeit versions of their kits (or just straight up scamming and stealing your money)
These are all sites "selling" unauthorized versions of their kits....for example thygarmen has "sold" 4000 units of their new Howl's Moving Castle kit without purchasing a single one from Tonecheer. So buyer beware from any of these sites.
Its almost always better to buy direct from the manufacturer.
Also, we are looking to do an event with Tonecheer with this kit so if you are interested, and can wait a bit, it'll be cheaper soon

Guys,Guys, Gals, and Book Nook Pals Today, we're taking a look at—Cat's Crossing by —Anavrin
TRIED SOMETHING NEW WITH THE CAMERA ANGLES.....PLEASE BE KIND
This is Anavrin's first Book Nook in a while after a few non-nook products. And even still, this nook is non traditional with a side, corner, and front exposed.
Lots of new crafting elements and materials in the kit.
The Anavrin Quality is as always there.
Other new things include an upgraded packaging tray and bespoke battery pack.
Is it worth it at $115? I'll let you decide. Perhaps its not just cats who have enough curiousity.

Guys,Guys, Gals, and Book Nook Pals This is my unboxing of the —Magic Platform by — Tonecheer... their whimsical take on platform 9 3/4.
This subject matter is not new to the book nook space, but Tonecheer has done a wonderful Job here bringing something new to the table with their unique feel.
All of the quality and style expected from a book nook from tonecheer, and regardless of if you're a fan of HP or not, a great addition to any collection.

its 130 AM and I still have to verify everyone met the requirements (which i will do later today after i sleep) but I wanted to get out the tentative list asap.
Please see this list for all the winners. I will also paste the names below and hopefully everyone who won will be tagged.
If you were one of the 35 "winners" you get your prize choice up to $60 (or coffee factory)
If you were one of the 7 "super winners" its the same as winner (unless you wanted the Typewriter - then you got that) plus a blind box from their Nanci series
If you are one of the 3 "grand prize winners" its the same as super winner except instead of a blind box you get an entire set!
congrats everyone
there is also a chance at swapping your prize for a soon to release book nook (I'm waiting on permission to show the promo image so final list may be delayed a day or two to accommodate)

Guys,Guys, Gals, and Book Nook Pals This is my unboxing of the ROKR Typewriter by Robotime
Im posting this on a NO NOOK MONDAY because rumor has it, the top 10 out of the 40+ winners of this event will be able to bypass the $60 prize limit for this $120 behemoth
Taking a look at ROKRs newest, and by their own estimation, most difficult build.
The TYPEWRITER. If you are looking for an intricate mechanical build like nothing else on your shelf this may be the kit for you.
If you are one who loves vibrant colors and graphics...maybe not.
Not only is the physical scale of this set on another level.....it freakin types!! Its an actual functional typewriter, not that I would use it for any business letters.
But any measure of actual utility in one of these builds other than aesthetics is a novel concept and Im here for it.
Please Join us on the subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/booknooks/ for all the book nook content you can handle including charity raffles and community events where you can win a free book nook for yourself. The current event has over 40 book nooks being given out as prizes.

Reposting because I accidentally put the wrong manufacturer
I’m really loving this kit so far…
Super high-quality pieces almost no glue has been necessary. Everything fits together really well
very good descriptions in the instruction manual as to which pieces to use I haven’t felt confused as to what goes where…
I did have to make a tiny mod to the triangle pieces on the floor, and I left them out and just painted it gray instead.
Also, my big complaint with this kit… And it’s not insurmountable is that pretty much every decal has to have a piece of clear plastic secured over it both these spheres on the buttons and the monitor screens. However, like any glue dissolves the graphics… So you’ll notice the solid green screen and that’s because I decided to use ultraviolet glow in the dark paint to cover up a blurred decal.
I’m sure there’s a fix for it… But overall loving this kit
