FUNWHOLE Mountain Cabin Lighting Building-Bricks Set, 2255 Pcs Cottage

I absolutely loved building this cabin. The building instructions were really clear and simple. I actually found them better than Lego as they provide you a top view on some brick placements which made it easier to confirm the right location. The bricks all clicked in easily and the lighting effects were a great bonus. Such great value for the price! Only small issue was one very small piece (small single round piece depicting acorns) was slightly damaged so I couldn’t use it but I didn’t bother getting a replacement as it was so small and not needed for the build. There are two of the exact same piece in the kit and only one was damaged. Really excited about getting my next Lumibricks (FunWhole) build.

If you’ve never tried funwhole/lumibricks then you are really missing out. This set is 2255 pieces and the quality is top notch. If this was the top brand it would be between $250.00 - $300.00 and I got this for $109.00. I love the way you can open the back and see all the beautiful little details. You can also remove the roof for a better look at things. I love the mini figs that come with this set, they aren’t copies of other brands they are unique and actually really cool. The way they’ve done the lighting is really smart, you don’t even see the wires once completed and the battery pack fits into the house itself. I love the fact that it takes batteries and you don’t have to plug it in. It took me about 10-12 hours to finish. It keep me engaged the whole time, nothing about the build felt repetitive. The bricks are perfect, I didn’t have any problem with them snapping together and the whole house is secure. I’ve moved it a few times to show people and it together just fine. This was my first set from this brand and I’ve bought two more since and can’t wait to get another.

This build absolutely blows away everything I have ever built from the other big name competitor. I am more than impressed and already shopping for my next one. A fraction of the price and 10x the quality and detail. Just wow…Every room is thought out down to a wood pile in the corner…what??!! Who even thinks to add that detail that most would just miss looking at this?! The roof panels comes off to expose the inside of the top floor and a small door on the back swings open to see the detail in the middle floor. The whole setup is beyond cool. The structure itself is solid!Additionally, there are lights built in throughout the build to highlight key features. The fire place actually has a slow fade to simulate a fire burning (again, the detail is impeccable). Also a hot tub with the glow underneath to highlight it and a perfect spot for a mini fig to sit in it. There are also special blocks that the wires run through to ensure they stay hidden and not exposed. Adding the lighting to the mix adds an additional level of complication with the build which really makes it challenging and fun. It’s an aspect I have never experienced with the other name brand.Instructions are well thought out and explained in full detail and nothing is skipped over. The only thing I’d say is that the instructions are a bit dark and if you have a light overhead, the glare is really tough to deal with. Would love it if they could print this in matte instead of gloss.Took me a little over a week for a few hours each night once the family went to bed. I will say, the build is very fun and surprisingly challenging. I found myself having to go back a couple times to fix a previous mistake. Some of the details for which block to use are small and some block pieces are extremely similar. Makes it a bit tough at some points. For these steps with a similar part, a call out or warning would be helpful.Overall, I am beyond impressed with this brand. Cannot wait to order my next set and get started on it.

Half the price, added lights, same amount of Lego building fun. I am extremely happy with how much fun this build was. The instructions are easy to follow, there are even additional images with top shots to help orient pieces. Added feature of lights is so cool. Solid structure, only negative I found was the mini figs, broke an arm and they have round bottoms and slip out of chairs. I built an older model, and I can say the newer models provides extra pieces , like arms (phew). Also improved build to hide the wires. Comes with tweezers and a brick remover tool.

I honestly can’t believe the quality of this for the price. It is as nice as Lego. The instructions are very clear, there were no missing pieces (which I recently experienced with a different non-Lego building block company), it’s extremely detailed, and the wiring is super slick. Will definitely buy more for myself or as gifts.
