So recently, I did a google search on the Fanhome Robocop build and to my surprise I’ve seen people completing their models. There is an active Facebook group that shares a lot of pictures. Anyhow, I started the RoboCop build on 6/24- about 2 years and 2 months ago. Initially building it, I completed the lower half (legs and hips) as well as the arms. There were a few shipments that came with duplicate parts which Fanhome replaced with the proper parts within a few months. In one box, there was a package that was completely missing an important part that connects the head to the upper torso. I contacted Fanhome expecting a speedy shipment but that was in May. I have not received it. Now, what I have done is the legs and hips as well as arms. At some point, I was supposed to receive the package that connects the lower half of the cyborg to the top torso half but it’s been on back order since 12/25. Now, being on expected package 25 with a few more to finish the model I am left with random parts of my cyborg but unable to put it together. I am so close the end but i am reconsidering spending the 270 or whatever dollars it’s going to take to complete it. I am nearly 2,000 dollars in on a set of random junk.

When I initially started this model it was 70-75 dollars a package monthly, now it’s 90. The customer service isn’t necessarily bad but leaves me wondering where the parts are. I believe I will never do a subscription model again because of the amount of time it takes. Also some parts of the model are poor quality while other parts are metal. Now the excitement of wanting to complete this model has diminished and I just want it over with. Should I wait it out?

Finally going to get this build started. Have all the parts. For those of you that have built it, is there anything I should know before I start? I saw a few posts about the gold peeling on some people’s builds…any recommendations on how to avoid this?

Thanks in advance!
