- The latest wave from Funwhole continues to impress but the Street Fusion Skate Shop F9051 is my favourite. My thoughts and LEGO modular compatibility.

Funwhole sets have been fantastic to build and for sure giving LEGO a run. Skate Shop is one of my top 5 favourites so far. Love how the building turned out. 👍
thanks for watching! The Skate Shop is actually favourite too but seeing the new record one... looks like I have a new favourite 🤣
An extremely cool set. Got it as soon as it came out and built it right away. The quantity and quality of prints and the attention to detail are better than Lego, never mind the lighting, which is really well done.. And the subject matter and theme are cool. Nice to see a more realistic depiction of city life than perfectly uniform and maintained buildings. The variations in wall texture and color and the grafitti really make this feel fresher and more interesting than most of Lego's recent modulars.
thanks for watching! its a great theme they have with this but generally their designs are really exciting - and I'm not getting that at the moment with LEGO. The Boutique Hotel was the last modular that really excited me, the new Tudor one doesn't look bad at all though :)
Great review!🔥 So far, everything I've seen with FunWhole has been very positive and I'm getting closer and closer to just pulling the trigger and picking up a few!
Thanks for watching ! Hope you end up getting one, I’m working on a video at the moment for their smaller builds a cheap way to test them out.
I've just ordered the skate shop and the record store from FunWhole and I plan to place them next to the Lego detective's office. Those three should look good together giving some New York style vibe.
Oh that’s a great idea! Think it will look great next to the Detectives Office a modular I sadly missed out on but I’m very tempted to get the parts and build my own version of it.
@@artofmanslife it would be great if you manage to build your own version and share it with us here
I love that they are pushing the boundaries of occupied space for modulars. Compatible is good, but they shouldn't be tied to the restrictions Lego has put on themselves and I'm happy to see them try new things and sizes.
You’re right and it’s a nice challenge to move away from the standard format and shake things up … definitely gives a city a unique look.
This is a tremendous review. Thanks for giving alt brands the coverage and detailed analysis. I hope you keep making these as I feel interest in alt brands has really boomed recently.
thanks so much for watching!! Oh I definitely will continue if they bring out sets like this!
Ali, I am so excited about Funwhole. The funny thing is I don't care about lights. Now, no stickers/only prints I DO care about, lol. However, what I like most about Funwhole is the cool, fresh, sharp vibe in designs (not sure how to be more specific). The new Street Fusion theme really has me intrigued. I'm definitely getting the Skate Shop -- and the upcoming Record Store looks amazing. I'm also getting the Cyberpunk Apartment.
thanks for watching as always! agree its such a nice refreshing vibe and totally up my street (pun intended!) the cyberpunk is really cool but I think it needs more buildings of that theme next to it to truly appreciate it I think. as a standalone it only looks nice from one angle...
I transferred to mills plates after the first modular broke when i picked it up. I have 3 mills plates of various widths already made up so no matter which size i need next, I will be ready
oh nice one! I'm OCD and my city is all based on multiples of 16 studs 🤣
@artofmanslife same. The pre-made mills plates are 16x32, 32x32 and 48x32 that way it stays truly modular and can be easily swapped out. I ran into the issue of one of them being a few studs to wide once before and realized how much of a pain in the butt it is to just change around a few things.
I have a few Funwhole sets... they are terrific, and are the new standard for brick models.
definitely a brand I'm constantly excited to see what they bring out next!
2:57 No exposed Studs??? What are those four things I'm looking at in the upper right part of this timestamp frame??? They look like exposed studs to me!
Those are studs to place the figures; he's talking about the floors and roof of the building which are all finished... as opposed to the new Lego Tudor Corner that has fully exposed studs on its roof & floors.
I love the FunWhole modular series. I'm currently not adding them to my small Lego city as I feel they just don't fit in with the style. But some day I hope to be able to have a FunWhole city as well! I just hope they keep producing these modulars at a very reasonable price 😊.
Update: I've just ordered the Skate Shop from Amazon UK and the Chili Dog Trailer (it's cute!) which I got £12 off with a voucher.
thanks for watching as always! oh I'm so glad you got it - this set has been in and out of Amazon UK and had to be really quick! I got the Chilli Dog trailer too and its really cute I agree!!
to me end day it not Lego and mini fig are ugly to me. building sets like this never be worth anything in value like you get from Lego sets. I don't see point buying building sets like this it not for me
The point is that it's a great design, interesting theme, has tons of detail, a light kit, all prints, and it's half the price of Lego. And the quality is the just as good. The manual is better, actually.
fiar enough but I'm not really an investor for LEGO - having said that though some of alternative builds are in demand once out of stock seen some higher than retail prices on eBay...
