Tuomu is one of those brands I always wanted because of their quality - both pieces and designs - but they never had just the right set for me. Well, until they released this one - Solar System Music Box (T1123, 989 pcs) - earlier this year. Solar system sets are very popular among Chinese brands, and even Tuomu themselves have more than one. However, here it is Solar system AND music box AND it also has lights!
Ordered at AE Yes Blcoks Store for 31,20 Eur (sale coupon+coins), 16 days to the EU. Not a cheap set, yes. But its Tuomu quality and again - it has music box and lights. Also, came with its original box (though damaged).
Relaxed building took about 3 hour and 50 minutes.
Brick quality: I still don't know if Tuomu uses GoBricks, but it looks like GoBricks - at least quality-wise there is no difference. This build is mostly technic and the tolerances are Lego-level. No scratched pieces, even the huge dome is perfectly fine. 10/10.
Design: The construction is essentially hollow which makes it lighter (despite being at least 2 times bigger than I expected) and also provides access to the main light. I say "main" light because the "Sun" has its own light pieces and it's the first design flaw - you have to remove the dome and disassembly the sun to turn it on or off. The solar system itself is purely symbolic, I appreciate that they made it moving - the "Sun" rotates and the "planets" rotate around the sun, but I surely don't like that the "planets" are placed randomly, there are just 7 of them (plus one moon), and some are hardly recognisable. Of course I can see Saturn, maybe also Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Neptune, but what are the rest supposed to be? Uranus has wrong colour and is too small, and if it's Earth and our Moon, then Moon may be ok, but the Earth is too big and also weirdly coloured. The music is working well, the main lights have tricky access, but are also nice. I don't know much about Zodiac, but I believe the signs are not properly corresponding to their months, though it's an easy fix, I was just too lazy and did as instructed by the manual. 6/10 for too little actual Solar system in this Solar system set.
Stickers/prints: no stickers as always with Tuomu, all prints are nice and clean. 10/10.
Instructions: came a bit damaged - I guess for the same reason as with the box. The paper is a bit on the cheap side. A bit too much steps per page, but I like it. Perfectly clear, there are 3 main steps, the bags are numbered and further sorted within one step. The final step which was mostly system parts took me twice as long to accomplish because placing all the decorations was a bit tricky. 8/10.
To conclude, 34/40, looks stunning, functions well, but too many compromises were made in regards to depicting our Solar system.

拓木是我一直心心念念的积木品牌,不管积木零件做工还是造型设计都很出彩,但他家始终没有一套完全戳中我的套装。直到今年早些时候,这款太阳系音乐盒(型号 T1123,共 989 块积木)问世,我才算等到心仪款。
太阳系主题积木在国产积木品牌里一直很热门,拓木自家也出过不止一款同主题套装。但这款独一无二,它把太阳系造型、八音盒功能、灯光组件三者结合在了一起!
我在速卖通的 Yes 积木店铺下单,叠加优惠券和平台金币后实付 31.2 欧元,物流耗时 16 天送达欧盟境内。这套积木价格确实不算便宜,但胜在拓木一贯的做工,再加八音盒与灯光双配置。包裹原配彩盒完整寄到,只是外包装有磕碰破损。
全程慢悠悠拼搭,总共花了 3 小时 50 分钟。
积木零件品质
我至今不确定拓木是否采用高砖零件,但手感和高砖高度相似,做工水准不分高下。这套以机械组零件为主,拼接公差能对标乐高;零件无划痕,就连超大半球穹顶件也做工完美,品质满分 10 分。
造型设计
主体内部为中空结构,大幅减轻整体重量(实物尺寸比我预想至少大两倍),同时方便检修主灯光组。之所以区分 “主灯光”,是代表太阳的模块自带独立灯件,这也是第一个设计缺陷:想要开关太阳灯光,必须拆掉外层穹顶、拆解太阳组件才行。
套装的太阳系仅做象征性还原,优点是可联动运转:太阳主体自转,各大行星围绕太阳公转;但槽点不少,行星排布毫无章法,整套只有 7 颗行星加 1 颗月球,多数星球辨识度极低。能勉强分辨出土星、木星、火星、金星、海王星,剩下几颗完全分不清对应天体。天王星配色出错、尺寸过小;如果那一大一小是地球和月球,月球比例还算合理,地球却做得过大,配色也十分怪异。
八音盒发声顺畅,主灯光效果好看,只是拆装检修十分麻烦。套装附带十二星座图案,但我对星象了解不多,能看出星座标识和对应月份匹配有误,这点其实不难修正,只是我懒得额外调整,完全按照说明书原样拼装。
整套名为太阳系套装,对真实太阳系的还原度太差,设计仅给 6 分。
印刷件 / 贴纸
拓木一贯不用贴纸,全件印刷,图案清晰干净,此项满分 10 分。
拼装说明书
说明书和外包装一样,运输途中略有损坏,用纸质感偏廉价;单页标注的拼装步骤偏多,不过我个人能接受。图纸逻辑清晰,整套分为三大拼装阶段,积木分包有编号,同一阶段内零件也做了细分收纳。最后一步主要组装太阳系联动结构,耗时是前面步骤的两倍,各类装饰件对位安装很考验耐心,说明书综合 8 分。
总结
综合得分 34/40。成品外观惊艳,灯光、八音盒等功能运行稳定,但在还原真实太阳系这一点上做了太多妥协。
