Thanos75 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I have a good buddy in our Lousiana Lego group that really likes many of the " Alternative " brand modular sets. He gives me the instructions for the ones I like and I just make them out of Lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickStanley74 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Is the Funwhole brand as good quality-wise as Pantasy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only built the newsstand so far and her is my mini review of it posted back in March: These are all original designs not stolen IP that come in boxes better than Lego and include some very unique elements that lego does not produce. I just did a cheap trial set, The Newsstand, for $28.50 and it includes a light kit. I have never built a Lego set with a light kit only light bricks and on this one it is totally integrated into the build so that nothing is visible. All very nice high quality printed parts and a horrible minifigure. The fit and finish was very good with no missing pieces and they do have a parts replacement option although I did not have to use it. The tolerances are so good that the clutch power is so strong that parts are difficult to separate which can be a bad thing. I was thinking about picking up the Farmers Market and Lakeside Cottage but not sure if I want to spend more money on this line. Update: I did pickup the other 2 sets from Amazon along with a farmer truck that goes with the market because they had 25% off plus 10% off and had a GWP promo that I received a lighted minifigure set limited to 200 units, but have not built them yet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, awesome. Sounds just as good as, if not better than Pantasy then! I've just finished building their Sherlock Holmes set over the weekend, and it was pretty incredible to be honest lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 (edited) Finished the Pantasy Retro Gumball Machine and it is definitely worth the $58. No missing pieces, no stickers, numbered bags, good build with a great assortment of parts. The only negatives would be the swirls in the previous posted pic on the flat gold tiles which aren’t even seen in the finished build so not sure why they were used instead of just grey or white, the instructions element placement is very hard to see outlined in a fine line of green and perhaps they could have included more capsules to fill the clear dome which although being packaged seperatly still had some minor scuffing. I didn’t do the mini builds to fill the capsules yet, those are in 2 bags #6 because I will probably either fill it with large gumballs or put Lego minifigures in the capsules will see another day. If I told you this was a $100 Lego set because of the huge dome elements and all of the gold and silver lacquered elements but you could get it for $80 you would be thrilled. Build 7 Play 7 Display 8 Value 9 ETA: not pictured is you build a little toy shop with its own micro gumball machine in it and I guess with that and all of the micro builds to go in the capsules the play for a kid could be a 8 or even a 9 Edited July 9 by Pseudoty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudoty Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 I never saw this lady before and found her classic English hard to understand at times but she has some good critiques of the set which is down to $128. Also at the end she has pictures of the next 3 modulars they are doing: bookshop, skate shop and theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
