FUNWHOLE Record Store Lighting Building Bricks Set - Street Fusion City Town Audio Shop Multi-Form Modular Collection Kit 1980 Pcs for Adults & Teen & Music Lovers

First thing: I am an AFOL. I have hundreds of official LEGO sets and something like 200K pieces. I own a couple Lenin / Chinese clone sets and have seen the rapid rise in quality from these Chinese knock off brands in recent years, ranging in quality from awful to identical.I would recommend Funwhole as an affordable extension of LEGO. The quality is honestly on par with LEGO. The builds are interesting, take more chances, avoid annoying stickers, and the included optional lighting really dials up the value immensely. I will emphasize “optional” here, as alternate pieces are provided for all prewired pieces if you don’t wish to use the lights. The box, book, and accessories are all better than LEGO, printed in full color with clear instructions and individually wrapped and sealed similarly to LEGO but with added tools like tweezers. I had zero missing pieces, zero broken pieces during the build, and a handful of extra pieces.A set of this size without lights would easily be 2x the price from LEGO, but Funwhole is delivering at $130 (before the seemingly permanent coupons). I ordered another set at the same time and both were of the same high quality and worth far more if we’re comparing to LEGO pricing.The minifigs are awful. LEGO still has that copyright and there’s no way around that. It is what it is. I simply didn’t put them together.This is the first brand I know that is delivering a consistent quality that competes with LEGO at a price point that makes it hard to justify LEGO. I will be following them and keeping an eye on new sets as these 2 were a pleasure to build. Already have another 2 saved for future purchase.The only downside is that while most of their colors are the same as LEGO, they also expand on colors to fit the builds. This will make it hard to organize, as these pieces are quality enough that I won’t be sorting them separately from LEGO in my storage, like I’ve done with every other Chinese knock off brand so far.Highly recommended. Glad someone has stepped up to the plate and I hope they continue to deliver.Also the brand name is hilarious to me.

Wow, just wow. Dare I say, it’s actually better than the OG??! Brick & build quality are on par with the major retailer, but add on cleverly integrated lighting, all prints (no stickers), finished flooring throughout, next-level details, enhanced accessibility … even the instructions, packaging, and ease of sorting pieces is top-notch. If I had to nitpick, well, there's the minifigures ... they're a bit finicky to put together and of course, they’re not the familiar favorite. However, I respect their aims and they get mad points for personality - they definitely add character & flare to the set regardless - it's just a matter of time for them to "take hold". Anyway, though the cost of these sets are wonderfully low, I want to be clear that this is not just a “budget” alternative, but a MUST-BUY, especially for loyalists. DO NOT MISS OUT!

Excellent build, cool lighting, great printed pieces. Good instructions, one booklet even came with a sheet of corrections but I didn't even notice what was being corrected. Pretty much agree with what everyone is saying about this set. In addition the largest window panes were individually the packed to protect them from scratches. The largest printed sections were also wrapped individually to protect the prints. Several cool recolors of existing Lego-type parts, lots of silver pieces including double doorways.The wiring of the lights added a whole new dimension to the building experience and look great. Best of all is the modular nature of the lighting system so you can power it via the battery brick or just plug it directly to a USB outlet adapter.Really my only major complaint is that the base plates are full plate thickness and not thinner like Lego baseplates so the model is a bit taller when side-by-side with Lego Modular buildings. Also would like to see more stud connections to place mini-figures, the model is pretty much all smooth tiles. The figures are throw-aways as far as I'm concerned but at least the hats/hair still work with Lego minifigs. Only piece that wasn't quite perfect was one of the double doorways where the doors rub ever so slightly when closing all the way.Lots of extra leftover pieces, some look like replacements for the lights if you don't want to wire it but some are extras used in the set and a few are completely random (1x1 red bricks that appear no where in the build). One 2x14 plate in clear was simply used to hold the large sign together for shipment, cool to get a big plate in an irregular color, actually made use of it during the build to hold the second floor sections that swing apart together while assembling it, made it way easier especially when wiring.Awesome value especially with the coupon, pretty much half the cost of Lego.Favorite Print: The box of Cat Food.Favorite Brick: The cat in a light tan color.

This was my first build using a Funwhole set and it was a complete joy! I am now fully addicted to this company’s builds. The details, graphics and quality are all top notch. I love buildings and the lighting brings them to life. It has become disappointing when I build one from the L company because they seem so dark compared to Funwhole builds now.There is also the cost side and even with light kits they are much more manageable. I now have several sets to build and am looking forward to more!

Even better than the big brand! Except those funny minifigs but that can be worked around.Cheaper AND with lights!

Great set. Love all the details!
