FUNWHOLE Train Lighting Building Bricks Set - Steampunk Ore Train LED Light Building Set 1056 Pieces for Adults and Teens

So I stumbled upon this set while looking at lighting kits for Lego sets and was delighted and then shocked by the low price. I thought it surely could not be as nice as the photos for that price. Took a chance and ordered it anyway. The box it came in is a very nice flap slot box that can be securely closed again, and the organization was a sort of half step between the Lego sets I got as a kid in the 90s and current (2022) style Lego packaging. The pieces are all in little sealed baggies with numbers to match each step, but in a more broad sense compared to the breakdown Lego currently uses. Rather than having 1 bag for step one, this set is broken into 3 main parts (train bottom, train top, and tender) so each part has multiple bags. Part one for example has all bags with (1) on them and each bag is generally sorted by part size. Biggest bricks in bag 1A and smallest in bag 1E. Separate bags for the lighting are also clearly numbered and used to sort components rather than match the current section of bags. The instruction manual is a nice bound paperback book, and I will say the colors on the printing job are a tad dark so definitely build in a well let room or download the digital instruction booklet where it’s much brighter. There is a business card to their website in the set where you can find it easily and for free. As for assembly, I would definitely say the detail in this set makes it more of an adult challenge so 17+ or so with experience recommended. The brick pieces are all solid and high quality injection mold style bricks just like Lego though perhaps a touch more flexible? It’s very minor, but the snap on some is slightly different and not as sharp. The only time I have had issues with bricks not staying connected though is where they have a wire running under the brick, and that’s just par for the course with adding something like lighting where the brick can no longer sit fully flush together. The lighting it’s self is also just beautifully done. Pictures just do not do it justice. I love how it looks and hiding the light box in the tender car is so clever! Wire placement in general is done really well as except for a few spots, they just blend into the model or are completely hidden. Now, I did have 3 pieces I was missing as I built the set but that just happens sometimes with brick kits and just like Lego, all you have to do is email them at their support email (there was an example email on their site for how to do it) and they will mail you your missing parts for free. From when I sent my email to when I got the missing parts was probably 5-7 business days total. Excellent customer service with prompt responses as well. Honestly just a great kit all around. I really enjoyed the challenge of building it and honestly can’t believe the quality for the price. I’m definitely considering getting the matching train station, and I might even load the bricks in this set into a brick set designing app to see if I can design a passenger car and a caboose to match! Excellent set. Highly recommend for an experienced brick builder looking for a fun challenge or even one looking to try lighted kits for the first time. 9/10 for the minor but easy to solve issues but definitely a 5/5 product.

My 15 yr old son has been a L*go builder nearly since birth. He has a whole wall of projets on display in his room. Over the years tho it has been hard to afford the sets to challenge him. I took a chance a few years ago on offbrand building sets and he was offended. Pieces were missing, bad instructions, blocks didn't all fit together well etc. etc. This Christmas, sorrowing again at the prices, I took another chance, but this time hit pay dirt. Not only were the instructions excellent, pieces all fit together, nothing was missing AND we got extra! There was a lighting kit included and it was a perfect challenge for my son to have to take extra steps to wire in the lights. He was entranced and enthralled. He was genuinely proud of his accomplishment. He did it in one day, cause he's at that level, and he loved it! Highly recommend.

Been searching for alternative options for Lego sets given how insanely overpriced they are. Buying this set cemented that fact for me. If you were to buy a similar set by Lego, it'd easily be double the price. I don't even know where to start. I'll just make a simple list. What I liked: - Price. This set is a crazy value. You don't need to purchase anything else to get the experience advertised. The only thing I needed separately was three AAA batteries but almost no one includes batteries these days. Actually, you don't need to buy the batteries if you have a USB powered port somewhere because it includes a USB cable that can be used to power the LED lights. Also has that piece used to pull apart bricks but better quality than Lego's. And my favorite part: comes with a little plier that you can use to apply the stickers. This thing's value is crazy. You can't help but question how can Lego charge us double for less. - Packaging. Comes in a smaller box but that's a good thing because less chance of the bags to be move around and possibly ripping. Happened couple times with official Lego sets. Everything was nicely and tightly packed in the box. - Quality. This is the most important part right? Well worry not. This thing is as good as Lego. If you gifted this to someone who is an official Lego fan, they wouldn't notice. Every brick fit nicely. The finished build looks just as good as the picture shown. I did not experience any faulty pieces. No complaints here at all. What I disliked: - Instructions. Possibly being a nit picky here or being a 'skill-issue' but some of the dark brown pieces looked way too dark that I couldn't tell which piece it was exactly and had to go back and fix a couple times. I was using PDF version on my tablet which is how I prefer to do even with the Lego sets, but yeah they could adjust the darkness maybe? Also this was the first build with LED lighting set up so I was a bit concerned but the instructions made it clear... almost. There were a few times when I had to zoom in and look closely. It just took me longer but if I can do it, anyone else can. Just pay attention. Conclusion: I highly recommend to every Lego fan if you're looking for a insanely valued alternative Lego set that comes with LED set up. I'll definitely be ordering more from them. Already got the station one ready to be built.

The Funwhole Train Lighting Building Bricks set exceeded all my expectations! The design is detailed and well-crafted, making it a joy to build. What really sets it apart is the built-in lighting—it adds such a cool and realistic touch, especially at night. The lights are bright but not overpowering, creating a fantastic display. The quality of the bricks is great; they fit together smoothly and feel sturdy. The instructions were clear, making assembly easy and enjoyable. It’s perfect for both kids and adult collectors who love trains and model building. Overall, this set is a fantastic combination of creativity and technology. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a unique and eye-catching piece to their collection!

Just finished building it last night and it turned out great. I do wish there were more extra parts, specifically for the coupling rods as they look very similar. I accidentally used the wrong piece (my eyesight isn't great) and went back to fix and redo it. The lighting setup is pretty easy to use and the wires aren't too obvious, which I appreciated. There's either a remote using 3 AAA batteries or a USB you can use a short USB cord. All in all, a solid, fun build ^_^

Looks phenomenal, and an excellent price. The pieces have great grip strength, which I was slightly concerned wouldn't be the case, since these off-brands don't always have the precise tolerances of the real thing. The LED lighting is gorgeous, and the ore car provides a convenient place to conceal the battery box (you can see it through the windows, but the glowing ore draws the eye so much that you don't really notice it). However, getting the wiring in place can be a pain (make sure to give yourself lots of slack; it seems like you won't need it but you will). Also, the lights are a bit finnicky, and stop working after a few hours. If you turn them off again for another few hours it seems to fix them, but it means you can't just leave them on for display which is a shame.

Le train a été construit en 3 périodes. Tout fonctionne bien. Il a manqué quelques pièces à l'étape 1 sur 3 mais le service à la clientèle a été très rapide et le projet a repris en moins d'une semaine. Le résultat est magnifique

C'est mon 2e model de cette compagnie cette fois ci il me manquais un morceaux important qui attache le kit électrique de tous les fils et m'empêche aussi de mettre une garniture décorative . Demandes beaucoup de dextérités pour installer le fillage, pour installer les roues du train ouf très fragile et ça se tient pas. J'ai mis malgré tout 5 étoiles pour l'ensemble du train. Et 8ans et plus dirais 18 et plus.
