Yeah, I watched this about an hour ago.  I couldn't stand his earlier stuff, mostly because of the "Arm-sweep" video that he did years ago but he has matured and I have started watching his channel fairly regularly.  I believe that Ryan covered the Bakery set as well.  
BTW, I found that he was spot-on with his assessment of the final top piece.  It's a shame that the final piece kinda sours what is otherwise a great build.  Did you find it irritating on your build?

I didn’t really notice it but that is the second time I saw someone point this out. I just tried a quick fix 4 of these in trans clear placed on the 4 inner studs of the top side of the dome. It elevates the lid a little but it won’t fall off.

No reviews yet on this one but $68 for a Modular with no stickers:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8J92MC6?m=AL2L6RXHQLCYK&ref=psp_pc_a_AYJMSM28ZB7LS

 

Also watched this interesting review:

 

 

Coming from a NON modular collector, I think this looks great.  The lighting and all the printed pieces for $68 seems like a steal.  The only thing I see so far that I'm not a fan of is what appears to be oversized hands on the minifigures.  

*Edit:  I wish they would include dimensions because I never know if Amazon's dimensions are box or product.  When researching their website for dimensions (not listed there either), I did notice this photo.  I really like that they include closed rear that swivels open to reveal the floor rather than having to take each section apart:  image.thumb.png.b96fb0f72b6c1866f8d5d98a6d40340b.png

One thing with the Funwhole modulars, this is the second and they have another one coming out this month as well as some other new sets, they don’t really fit into a city row display like Lego modulars unless you are willing to cover up the windows and other side display elements. 
 

I just built this Funwhole set yesterday it was only $18 on amazon but I don’t really recommend it unless you are doing their Farm Life collection of sets. It does have 2 lights but I don’t have it hooked up yet. 
 

The minifigures come totally unassembled legs, arms, hands and all and they give you extras of the arms and hands.

Boggles my mind how these knockoff companies invest tremendous time energy and money to launch quality products, and come up with these bizarre sounding names. Any native english speaking 5 year old could come up with something better.

I’d this a homeless guy in the lower right hand corner? If so, love the commitment to current economic accuracy.

I received mine today.  I had also ordered 3 of the 6-pack Series 26 minifigs boxes from Amazon.  Stark contrast.  Amazon's minifigures cames in a soft "paper bag" mailer.  The Hot Dog Stand came in a very nice double-walled box.  Opening that, I found the set was boxed in a decent-sized clamshell box.  I had expected something akin to a $20 LEGO box and received something closer to a $70 set.  Although a little smaller, packaging was just like the old Big Bang Theory set or the Yellow Submarine set.  Solid.  And for some reason, I thought that they were shipping the freebie without lights.  Not so!  Light kit was included.  I looked through the instructions and they are not only easy to read and understand, but offer the perfect lighting and contrast to be able to tell the different colors for even these 64 year old eyes.

If I had paid full price for this set, i would have been pleased.  Free made it killer!  i can't wait to build it and put it beside F.O's Newsstand model.  Thanks @Pseudoty for the heads-up!

I will update you on the next giveaway but this one will be harder to get a limited edition of 7.5K remake of the Newsstand for Xmas.

Well, you've piqued my curiosity with these sets.  I'll have to order up the chili dog stand, and I would really hope to be able to snag a holiday newsstand for my winter village

Looking at the Funwhole website, looks like the holiday newsstand is already sold out for the US.  I'm guessing that's accurate?

The Chili dog stand might still be available for free checkout that post.  And the holiday set isn’t available yet it should be on Amazon soon that is how they fulfill US orders.

I was able to successfully grab the chili dog stand for free.  Thank you for the assistance with the process there.  As for the holiday newsstand, I'll keep my eyes peeled for any post from you, and I'll monitor Amazon as well.  Thanks for the tip!
