FUNWHOLE Balcony-Theatre Lighting Building-Bricks Set - City Town Creator House LED Light Multi-Form Modular Collectible Display Kit 2445 Pcs for Adults and Movie Lovers

If you like modular buildings, you need to try Funwhole. They're really leaving Lego in the dust, with better and more innovative designs, integrated lighting, and far better prices. This theater set is absolutely gorgeous, features a bunch of interesting and relatively advanced building techniques, and boasts design ideas that make even Lego's best modulars, like their recent Tudor Corner set, feel boring and predictable. As you'd expect with a modular, the roof and floors can separate, but here, a whole subsection of the building slides out for display or play, and there are multiple swing-out hatches that allow you to view the interior while fully lit. (Funwhole's Record Store, arguably the most advanced commercial modular ever made, does something quite similar.) As is typical with Funwhole, there's an enormous amount of detail, and in miniature form, you get an entire theater, with ticket booth, lobby, coat check, bar, orchestra and balcony seats, a private box, stage with rigging and functioning lights that can be positioned... Never mind all the exterior details! As usual with Funwhole, the bricks are top quality, no different from Lego other than the lack of the "Lego" brand name on the studs, and all decorated pieces are prints--no stickers, unlike so many Lego sets! Lego purism is a thing of the past. There are too many great sets from competing brands like this one. If you want to expand your brick-built city or street scene, or if you love theater, this set is a must. Beautifully designed and lit, it's one of Funwhole's best sets.

As a long time Lego collector, I've pretty much 'grown up' be skeptical of alternative brick brands over the years, and honestly use to justify the price of Lego against what else was out there... NO MORE! The Theater has been my 11th FunWhole model for 2023 and they really took it to another level with this one! The design is extremely clever with a lot of fun and unique build techniques, the brick quality is 100% on par with Lego (you would never know the difference if not for the Lego logo), there are only printed pieces (no stickers), and the cherry on top is the light kit, which installs with custom bricks for easy and bespoke integration. The price? As Funwhole models are typically always sold at a discount, It's literally 50%+ LESS than a piece compatible Lego model. If you enjoy Lego modulars, and want to add more variety to your city, or if you're burned out on Lego prices and just love brick building, than this model should be on your list - as should the Antique Store, and the Bookstore Cafe'... I have all three, and they fit in perfectly with my lego City (I've been collecting the modulars since the beginning).

The pieces for the minifigs break so easily, and any moving part sounds and feels like it needsa full bottle of wd-40. other than that, great build, looks amazing

I am an avid Lego builder and have about 70 sets. I wanted to try these sets and was extremely pleased with the value and quality of each set. First, the price is extremely reasonable for the sets, especially knowing you get a light kit included in the price. If you haven’t put together sets with a light kit they really bring them to life. The assembly takes some patience but if you pay close attention to the instructions (including reading ahead a few steps to ensure you route the wires correctly) the build and final product is satisfying. I will buy more of these sets to augment my Lego collection.

Super cute, very easy to follow the directions, and full of detail! I did not notice any missing pieces (there were actually some extra). The pieces fit together perfectly, lighting is easy to install, and the build itself took several hours (in the very best way). 100% worth the money. I like these sets better than the big brand name ones.

Great set, probably one of the more complex Lumi sets to put together which was a positive for me. The lighting is incredible. There was almost no repetition in the build process and no pinched wires. A warning to those who are colorblind. They use red and light brown pieces which look almost identical in the instructions. I kept having to use neighboring bricks to see if I had the correct colors. The set would have benefited by being a little wider and on a standard 32x32 base, but they really squeezed a lot of detail into the interior.

Awesome building experience, and the whole thing opens up, many ways. Lighting great as well. Top-notch!

Hubby and I have done about 10 different builds from Funwhole. Love this one. Everyone has come w easy instructions and they all light up. Not like the “other company” where you have to buy the lighting set-up separately. This all comes together. The prices are incredible. Always have extra pieces, never short. Love building w my hubby and grandsons.
