It's nice to see people are starting to try these alternative sets. Although I mostly own Lego sets I do own several of these other sets and love them.❤

@oldcitybricks9153 3 месяца назад

Excellent set. Excellent value. great build!

@alandrielstern2354 3 месяца назад

Looks brilliant in your city! Glad you kept the FO Figure selling the news! This set was my first of the brand and I love it! The build was fun and it keeps away a lot of trouble with joining the lighting into the building process. There really seems to be a huge development in the line and how exciting to think about lighted modulars from them 😍

@stephanprommer347 3 месяца назад

I bought this one as an experiment to see if I enjoy "lighting" sets up. It now sits proudly on the desk of my GF and looks super awesome. Funwhole for me at least is on par with Lego.

I actually watched your more recent video before this one & I literally thought this was a really good moc- I had no idea this was a funhole set- and you’re right- the little minifig kinda has some wonky charm.. maybe that’s the fight between the newsstands.. his is older & his arms are weird- so the other news guy is all “I’m new and in shape- not all wobbly” lol, I need to wake up before writing comments. Haha. Excellent set! Great job!

@HighTeaToys 3 месяца назад

His made me laugh so much 😂 I think you should write more comments like this 😂

@reneecohen9447 3 месяца назад

This set is really nice. They do have a bunch of great sets and quality has gone up!!

I think Funwhole has come such a long way like you said. I am obsessed with this new stand and I highly recommend the Apothecary if you ever make a medieval build.

@xanthicdragon6510 3 месяца назад

I really like this set I saw it on another channel and you just made me want it more! I'll be clicking that link soon 😄👍

Very good review, thank you. What good value this set is. I just purchased the Lego Telephone Box set. Nice set but £100 and still a sheet of stickers, sigh. If Funwhole can offer printed items then why can’t Lego? I’ve never had a Funwhole set - but this video has encouraged me to visit their website.

@HighTeaToys 3 месяца назад

Amazing, I am personally not too against stickers, but it was super fun to build this set without them as all the prints were super nice. This totally made me excited for more, and they have awesome other sets too, though some of those may have stickers as the other two sets I reviewed previously did have them. They are super fun and detailed builds though and at this cost, definitely worth it.

I bought this set! It was fun to build. I also got the saloon

@memyselftheone 3 месяца назад

I love the set. I got it a month and half ago and I've since moc-ed it and it's currently sitting on a square that's in front of my Natural History Museum. 😁

@HighTeaToys 3 месяца назад

It works so well near the history museum. The colours really compliment.

@mohanc2010 3 месяца назад

The plug/expansion board is actually compatible with other brands, funwhole just make the plug that will work two ways so you don’t have to worry which side you plug that in.

@danjal87nl 3 месяца назад

It probably wouldn't be too big of a thing to make a switchover or even solder the two lighting styles together. Even if connectors are differrent they likely use the same voltages anyway so it should be easy to make it compatible.

@johngodfrey7388 3 месяца назад

Thanks really interesting and persuaded me to dip in and order the car they make from Amazon, it’s 25% off today so only £18.

@CardmakerNr1 3 месяца назад

Great review Johanna, very helpful. It looks like the company is developing in the right direction although it is a shame that the lights are not compatible. I would have to put my own lights in then which adds extra costs. But I do love the look of it and it’s exciting that they want to have more city sets.

@HighTeaToys 3 месяца назад

I couldn’t agree more. Though two lights would be all that is needed. Or if they just sold a separate component that made it compatible

@vdan2879 3 месяца назад

Fun hole! haha. I told that to my GF.

@WonkoTheSane99 3 месяца назад

Personally i prefer the lights off when entering the Fun Whole 💡

@lifesabrick5104 3 месяца назад

These are tricky. You can't patent an idea but you can patent the details and engineering, otherwise, we'd only have one brand of refrigerator. But in this case, without having done any research whatsoever, I feel quite confident that every company like this has copied Lego clearly in at the very least, unethical business practices. Having said that, I would buy this one and try to build it as much as possible by substituting Lego brand bricks, using only the printed plates where possible. I'd use the Funwhole bricks in mils plates or mountain and terrain areas where they are hidden. I'm sticking with Blinky Bricks here in the U.S. for all my lighting.

@caronmills8983 3 месяца назад

I've got this one in my stash to do. It looked too good to pass by. I've got a few new brands in my hoard to try out now.

@samwalker8893 3 месяца назад

I whole heartedly agree with your comments on their current production BUT the history and thefts in the past cant be excluded because “now they can afford to be more ethical”

@donald2818 3 месяца назад

That set at 0:30 is so nice.

@HighTeaToys 3 месяца назад

The interior was super amazing, the building experiace, not the best.

@censorbleep3018 3 месяца назад

in a way, this is good, the leading brick company needs to feel competition so they might keep their prices down.

@countrabricksbuildcraze8916 3 месяца назад

😮 oh that's actually great it. Come s with the light ..wow. LEGO so need to. Do that ..than paying $500 for moduler then $150 to $250 more for lighting kit. I guess Lego. Is behind in. Not saleing. Thay own lighting Lego brand kit s. Fact this set come with the lighting kit is very good.

@kentslocum 3 месяца назад

Someone gifted me a copycat set from a LEGO competitor, and it was awful. The clutch power was excessive, the prints were excluded, and the instructions were confusing. So I'm not eager to try other non-LEGO brands, even though LEGO's quality control has been slipping lately.

@HighTeaToys 3 месяца назад

I think the variety of non lego brand out there is wild, there is a huge difference between brick brands that are just exercising a cash grab, piggybacking off of lego's success and brands that care. You can't paint them all with the same brush. This brand is worth a shot, though there are many I would not say the same of.
