FUNWHOLERecord 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.

Funwhole's modulars go from strength to strength. Not only do they come with integrated lights and all prints (no stickers--Lego, take note), but they are densely packed with details, fun for experienced builders looking for something new, and they're innovative. The innovation of this set is the unprecedented level of accessiblity it offers in a commercial modular: in addition to the usual removable stories, the whole set hinges open, and the floors slide out for play or for adults to appreciate the ultra-high level of detail. This is a game changer that makes Lego's modulars seem quaint by comparison.As usual with Funwhole, the manuals are beautifully printed and clear, the bricks are of the highest quality, and the prints are also top notch. And of course, the pricing is way better than Lego, and the lights are beautiful.Most highly recommended.

What an excellent build! Turned out great. Was an easy build, instruction were clear and easy to follow. No missing pieces, awesome attention to detail, value exceeded expectations. I love the lighting and printed pieces. Looks amazing on display!

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!
