The outside of the building has informational bulletin boards, mailboxes, and stagecoach stops that convey the architectural attributes of a post office.

The way the window has a bullet hole is really imaginative.
There is also great detailing on the front of the post office.

Funwhole have used printed clear pieces to make the windows regal and in keeping with the Victorian/steampunk era.
the windows look stunning once built and really shine when the lights are on.
The roof houses a section for storing the copter, landing lights and a landing pad.
this also functions as a lookout to watch the copter take to the skies.
Each floor can be separated and the back opens up to make it more accessible for play.
In keeping with the steampunk aesthetics funwhole have included a set of gears that link the first two floors together.
These gears work when you turn the handle and add to the overall design of the set.
“When the play is on, meet me in Balcony Theatre.”
-- Funwhole's first Multi-Form Modular Building set
【Uniquely themed, classic artsy European building】
There are 8 dolls with different personalities inside. Each doll has two expressions, corresponding to two scene activities. The rich design of dolls can bring more playability and scene placement gameplay for users.
The eight mini figures all have a second side to there face for more play ability and are the first ones to feature this.
This is a new idea from Funwhole and really is a leap forward for the brand.
As can be seen in the above picture when the front is lit up it looks amazing.
This is a grand building and as usual Funwhole have come up with some new lights and ways to hide the wires.
The fame design for the front light is very art decor in keeping with the aesthetic of the building.
Well what can i say?
Funwhole just keep raising the bar and the balcony theater is no exception.
The amount of detail and clever design thats gone in to this kit is staggering.
This looks amazing when lit up and would fit into any town scene or as a display piece on its own.

There are a total of 70 printed bricks in this set and the quality is second to none.
i think its always better having pre printed bricks rather than fiddly stickers.
The windows are also light up which adds to the theater mood.
Over all the theater has a lot of playability and some hidden gems that i wont spoil, so you can discover them for yourself.
The windows at the front of the theater have LED strips attached to them making the front of the building look really grand.
The first floor is the theater and stage.
The stage is big enough for a few mini figures and can be taken out for easy access.
There are plenty of seats for the audience and a drinks stand.
There is also a box seat and a VIP seating area.
The roof is the last part to be built and can be easily removed for access to the stage and seating area.
As can be seen from the pictures across this is a grand building and looks best when its lit up.
The entrance to the theater has a cloak room, ticket office and a double grand staircase.
The cloakroom can be opened up and has to mini figure bodies to represent coats.
Stage is set for the next performance as the actors warm up there voices ready for the show to begin.
Another great looking and functional set from Funwhole bricks.
Lots of little hidden bits and lights make this a great kit.
Its big as well so make sure you have somewhere to place it.
The set comes with.
The first bags of bricks concentrate on the caravan, which is styled after American caravans.
You have a choice of having green and white or red and white window covers.
The lookout post has a cozy room at the top for the park ranger to sleep in while of duty.
The room gives a panoramic view above the trees of the camp ground and nearby stream, with its design of having windows all around the room.
The camp really comes to life once its finished and the lights are switched on.
This is another great set Funwhole.
They are always thinking of new ways to incorperate lights into their kits as well as new themes.
This is a great set piece and really shows Funwhole at its best in turms of creating a perfect scene.
Yes it got to be at least a 10/10.

This campsite has a lookout station of to the side, where you can gaze at the stars with the telescope or settle down for the night in the comfy bed at the top of the tower.
There are lots of little bits of greatness in this kit.
From the warning signs to the frog in the stream.
I wont spoil it by telling you every little detail so you can discover them for yourself.
The caravan and picnic blanket are set on a grass scene and has a river running by them.
There is a fishing rod to catch something nice for tea, a fire and a picnic blanket to rest on.
There is also toilet facilities in the rear of the camping area.
A quick review for a quick built set.
This cute set is part of the road trip series
it comes with.
The car is the first part of this small set and goes together really well.
Its design is based on a classic American sedan and goes well with the road trip theme.
The car comes with storage in the trunk, a map, light up headlights and tail lights and a printed retro radio.
This maybe a small set but its perfectly formed.
Its selling point is it can be combined with other themes in the Funwhole universe.
Another great kit from Funwhole.

There is a part that you can put the deer on to make it look like its leaping off the rocks.
The rocks include a cactus plant some grass and a rabbit, which all tie into the western, road trip theme.
Once assembled this kit looks really good.
You can display it as it is or add it to other kit.
The rocks could go with a western theme, the car with a retro theme or a camping theme.
As you can from the above videos the rock arch is built up in layers which makes it rather strong
A nice solid background for the car and deer.
The product has a total of 21 light-emitting positions, light tubes/spotlights and other different types of light, with ice blue/purple, etc., the formation of the cyberpunk world's unique neon pollution lighting system, the visual impact of a strong sense of darkness, differentiated from other series of light feeling.
this is the most and most complex lighting on any funwhole kit so far.
The kit also comes with.
This is the largest and most complex kit so far from Funwhole. So big it has two instruction books.
this is not going to be able to be built by young children so best for young adults and adults due to the complex light fittings.
The instruction book comes with a background story for all the figures that come with it and gives some insight into the inspiration for the kit.
This kit is big, the first parts of the build mainly concentrate on the foundations of the kit. Funwhole have also made a few alterations to the bricks. like the bricks along the bottom of the foundations have a pattern on them which ties in with the cyberpunk feel.
The garage where bikes can be fixed has a clear blue roller door.
This door has a turn handle on the side of the garage so you can open and close the garage with a quick turn.
This is a really great idea, well done Funwhole. which allows easy access to the workbench.
Showing the workbench/operating table before fitting it into place.
This is such a cool idea and adds more playability to the kit.
The smooth blue lines and yellow detailing add to the cyberpunk aesthetic.
This kit is amazing. from the cleaver use of lights and the clever way the wires are hid throughout the kit.
Funwhole have done it again with this kit, they are always improving on their last kit and coming up with some ingenious ways of making their kits special.
All I can do is say whether you like cyberpunk or not this kit is a must buy.
As a display piece it will get people talking.
I give it 10/10

As seen in the pictures above Funwhole have added a few new ideas to their lighting kits.
The biggest change being a round circuit that once you have built the Workbench/operating table allows you to spin it around while its still lit up.
The thing with Funwhole is not only do all their kits have lights but they are always improving and coming up with new ideas of how to hide the wires and add lights to the kit.
The roller doors in action.
The turntable workbench/operating table clips into place and can be used when its lit up.
once fitted into place it looks amazing and fits well with the cyberpunk aesthetic.
As I've mentioned Funwhole is all about finding clever ways to hide the wires for the lights.
The have made their own custom bricks that you can fit the wires into to hide them in walls and floors.
The second floor has another apartment and a robot workshop. also a container for a sapling.
The front of the floor has a strip of tubing around the front and lights up to look like neon lighting.
Once the base is built its time to build fried chicken shop.
The shop is placed on the side of the garage and has colours and style in keeping with the cyberpunk feel.
Inside the shop are a shelf of fries and lighting.
The first floor houses an apartment and a movable walk way.
This is built up over layers to add strength to the kit and more wire hiding.
This is what i love about Funwhole kits is the way they fit and hide the lights and wires as you build the kit and they are always making improvements.
The first floor apartment has an opening back to access it and add playability.
It comes with a bed, chair and computer station.
May your heart be of light.
The Funwhole limited edition Christmas newsstand.
This is another gorgeous kit from Funwhole and just in time for the holidays.
The kit is limited to only 7,500 units.
Funwhole have a gain packed so much detail into this kit, like all their kits the attention to detail is beyond anything any other company is making.
Funwhole have again come up with some ingenious ways of hiding the wires and the battery pack.
Th e pack slides into the back wall where its easy to get to, and hides it from view.
Part of this centre piece is the Christmas tree.
The tree is built up from four sides and then topped off with a traditional star.
Once the tree is built you can wrap one of the strings of multi coloured lights around the tree. Making it look authentic.
The lights are a first for Funwhole as they are a string and multi coloured. The lights look fantastic when lit and add sparkle to the kit.
IN CONCLUSION.
Another amazing kit from Funwhole and its Limited edition.
The kit shows again why they are my favourite block building company, for their design, attention to detail and inovation.
An easy 10/10.
well done Funwhole.

There is a side cylinder with two festive posters inside that lights up and also revolves to show which poster you like the best.
This adds an extra layer of playability and customisation when placed in your town or display.
The fridge display that housed drinks during the year has now been replaced by fresh seasonal cookies and there is a vat of free mulled wine for the customers to enjoy with their morning paper.
Funwhole again have done their best to hide the wires and that's why I think they are the top of their field.
The second set of coloured string lights can be threaded through the holly over the front of the roof of the newsstand to give it that extra Christmas cheer. But you dont have to they can be placed anywhere on the kit as it says in the instructions they are extra.
I've shown the original newsstand to show how much they have changed it to make it Christmas themed.
The roof of the newsstand is covered in snow in keeping with the Christmas feel and has a place for the squirrel to sit and watch the passer-by's and maybe get a few cookie crumbs.
The awning has been replaced by a seasonal red and white colours and can be retracted at the end of the day.
On the floor in front of the newsstand are several presents and a snowman to tie in the Christmas vibe.
The side of the newsstand has another window and poster bringing Christmas cheer. some magazines an inside accessories to sell .
The new Funwhole cheese house is part of the Funwhole farm series.
Its yellow roof and light yellow walls make it look like its made out of the cheese they sell from the house, and adds an extra layer of cuteness to the kit.
【Cozy Cheese House Charm】Experience a cozy farm atmosphere with our house design, inspired by authentic American architecture. The warm yellow tones evoke the essence of cheese, creating a welcoming home vibe.
Whats in the box?
As with all Funwhole kits this kit includes lights that are built in as you build the kit.
Funwhole use a unique design of bricks to hide the wires as seen in the above video.
Funwhole have once again mastered the art of hiding wires within the walls of the cheese house so you cant see them.
This is what i love about Funwhole kits, they really think about wire placement and ways to hide it so once lit up it looks stunning.
Featuring two sets of lights with five custom glowing spots, including a porch oil lantern, outdoor light, two indoor lamps, and a flickering light for the fireplace.
A close up of More of the wire hiding process.
IN CONCLUSION.
This is another great kit from Funwhole.
Lots of detail, clever ways to hide the wires for the lights and in two half's so you can explore the house through play.

The design of the cheese house is made for exploration.
The quick-release roofs and 180° opening back allow for effortless exploration and interaction with the interior space of the house.
The roof sections slot into place and can be easily removed so you can access the interior of the house.
There is also a large vat for hanging and drying the cheese, ready for the next stage in the production process.
True to the Funwhole brand there are a lot of details to this kit.
From wheels of cheese, milk cartons, a mop and a cheese press to name a few.
There is also a cold room with a selection of cheese produces and a handy thermostat to make sure it doesn't get too hot.
The cheese making area is finished of with a lit fire, utensils and a large removable pot for making the cheese.
Everything a good cheese maker could want and need to produce the best cheese ever.
The cheese house comes alive when the lights are switched on.
As with all Funwhole kits lights are an integral part of the model.
I've put it with the farm store and cow barn to show how good they all look together.
The funwhole cow barn.
Find the kit here.
https://www.funwhole.com/products/cow-barn-1368pcs?ref=rmujhgyc
Funwhole always have lights.
Mooove Over,Cow-ntless Fun.
This is by far the cutest of the funwhole sets I've built so far.
This is designed on the classic American red barn, with two floors and symmetrical gradient roofing tiles.
The set has a barn for the cows, an office area, milk storage area and hay storage in the roof.
Set includes
The office area is filled with a milking schedule, milk bottle samples and a desk.
Within the milk storage area you will find the vat for storing the milk.
I love the fact that Funwhole have decided to use silver bricks for the vat as it gives a more realistic feel to the kit.
The vat also has a temperature gauge.
Securing the wires for the lights in the roof.
The roof is made up of new roof tiles that look amazing and the roof pieces slot onto the roof for easy access to the play areas inside the barn.
They add to the original American red barn look and look great.
No barn would be complete without a weather vain.
IN CONCLUSION. This is such a cute set and looks great when paired with other farm series kits.
The barn comes alive at night with the LED's and makes for a wonderful display piece.
This is a great kit and Id recommend this to everyone.
Thank you for reading this.
Have a great day.

Lets begin the build of the cow barn.
Part one of the build is the foundation for the barn and two mini figures.
The blocks in the cow feeding area even have hoof prints printed on them for extra effect.
What Ia love about all Funwhole sets is the fact they come with lights and you fit the lights as you build the set.
There is always lots of little details and the fully printed bricks are so much better than trying to line up stickers.
The barn doors are on sliding bricks so they can open and close freely, and the printed barn doors look great.
The second floor of the barn houses a crane to bring up the bails of hay for storage and also has the battery pack and wires hidden inside.
The battery pack is accessed through an openable back panel so it can be concealed from view.
This is one of the things i love about Funwhole not only do they include lights but they have ingenious ways to hide the wires and the battery packs.
The lights in the cow barn are bright and clear without being too bright.
They ad a nice glow to the model when being played with or as a display piece.
When finished the cow barn looks so cute and i had to pair it with the Funwhole farm store as they go together so well.
The farm store can now have a steady supply of fresh milk daily.
Linking the cow barn to the farm store is perfect and looks amazing together
Funwhole freight train F9036.
Get the kit here.
https://www.funwhole.com/products/western-freight-train-1524pcs?ref=rmujhgyc
Theme: Ride into Old West Adventure.
Lighting kit is always included!
Price: $89.99 in North America; 99.99 Euros in Europe
Background to the story of the train set.
"This is their final heist before calling it quits—robbing a treasure from a wealthy merchant on a train. Bandit Bill and his gang (the outlaws waiting at the train station) once ruled the entire West, but now they’re on the run, scattered during their escape. Bandit Bill, growing impatient, decides to take matters into his own hands. The train rushes towards him, and from afar, he spots the familiar figures of cowboys on board. Will he succeed?
The kit comes with.
Piecing the engine together is easy and straight forward.
Once done the cattle grill and wheels are placed onto it, it looks impressive and is topped off by making some smoke for the funnel to finish the look.
Last piece of the train is the carriage, this houses luggage and a seating area, with desk and route map.
Again the amount of detail is great from the train route map to the pile of luggage. Funwhole have out done themselves with all the printed bricks in this kit.
The last section of the build is the water tower for the train.
The design of this is made up of separate pieces rather then two round pieces and I think it looks a lot better and unique, being built this way.
The look of the water tower with its weeds, planks and water drip, give a really nice finishing touch to the kit.
IN CONCLUSION.
This is another great kit from Funwhole.
With lots of detail, clever ways to hide the wiring and top quality printed bricks.
This is great for anyone wanting an old west theme or just as a display piece.
An easy 10/10
I would highly recommend this as something unique and different.
Thank you for reading.
Have a great day.
Amanite.
I love the amount of detail in the instruction manual that goes into the back storyof the train set.
This kit comes with six mini figures.
it has a lot of detail in the cab, including lots of valves and a roaring red fire.
The main engine of the train is made in parts one and two of the kit.
Building the engine for the train is seerate and clips onto the wheels ready to roll.
The axels holding the wheels can both move freely so the train can move around a bend in the track.
Once the coal truck is assembled it is used to conceal the battery pack that powers the lights.
The coal truck has a removable lid that the battery pack and wires are hidden in. The lid is decorated with black bricks to give the impression of loose coal ready to be used in the engine.
Video of how good the tree trunks look with their printed ends.
Fitting the lights to the carriage is the last set of LED's for the kit. and easy to fit.
You can see from the above pictures just how affective the LED's are in bringing this kit to life.
They are bright without being to bright and add to the play value of the kit.
The LED's make for a really nice display if you dont want to play with it.
Funwhole mountain cabin.
SKU: F9035
FUNWHOLE KITS ALWAYS COME WITH LIGHTS.
Link to the kit is here.
https://www.funwhole.com/products/mountain-cabin-2255pcs?ref=rmujhgyc
Funwhole have done it again.
They have outdone themselves again in terms of design and the inclusion of lights.
The kit includes some special light features and cleaver hiding of the wires.
From the two cheeky squirrels looking for acorns to the hidden battery pack, Funwhole have squeezed a lot of ideas and creativity to the set.
The wires are again hidden by funwholes use of custom bricks that are put together around the wire to hide them in the walls of the cabin.
Each time funwhole bring out a new set they up the cleverness of how to hide the wires.
The first floor of the cabin now starts to take shape.
The floor are put together giving the aesthetic of wooden beams for the floors and the walls.
All the bricks lock solidly together and hold really well, giving this kit a good strong feel.
There are a few bikes for the visitors to use to explore the mountain side and one is being fixed. They even have printed frames, a repair stand and tools.
The loft of the cabin is were you will find the bed, bookcase and bedside table lamp.
The bedroom looks really cosy and inviting
Roof pieces are made to be on a slant and have some leaf's covering them. They really ad to the look of a mountain cabin and slot together so you can remove them to gain access to the floors of the cabin.
Again funwhole have used there design of connectors to connect the wires from each floor so the cabin can be taken apart and played with without the need to remove and refit wires.
In conclusion.
This has been one of my favourite builds to date.
The amount of detail and unique printed bricks and the way to hide the wires is incredible, well done Funwhole on another amazing kit.
I have no problem recommending this and giving it a 10/10.
Thank you for reading.
Have a great day.

Mountain cabin unboxing videos.
The first part of the Mountain cabin is the foundation and the hot tub.
The hot tub uses a glitter plate and water plates to create an illusion on bubbling water, complete with two clear bubble bricks.
This is such a cleaver idea and adds a nice touch to the build.
The wires and the battery pack are cleverly hidden under the stairs and accessed from the back of the cabins ground floor.
The cabin foundation takes shape through parts 2 and 3 of the build. There is use of the special wire hiding bricks.
The mountain theme is carried through with the use of printed bricks to look like rocks and foliage on the front and side of the kit.
Now we start the second floor room.
The room has a chair, pictures on the wall and a warm glowing fire for those cold winter nights.
The fire has a clever breathing red LED to simulate the fire is alit and really looks amazing.
There is also a tool station with spare bike helmets and riding gear.
The last section to build is the poplar trees.
These were very easy to assemble and look great next to the cabin, giving an affect of being in nature.
Videos demonstrating the way Funwhole have worked out how to hide the wires.
In the box.
This is a beautiful kit.
The kit comes with everything you need to build the farm store including some spare parts.
The bricks go together and fit solidly with a satisfying click.
The instructions are very clear and easy to follow, showing in great detail how to put the parts together.
The numbered bags are easy to sort and clearly marked for each stage of the construction.
What i loved about this kit is the fact that you can use the battery pack to light the light bricks or if you want you can use the included usb adaptor and run the lights of a usb source instead.
The way the Wires are hidden in the bricks means you cant see the wires and they even have special bricks that they have made to hide the wires and keep them clamped down as you can see from the pictures below.
In conclusion this is one of the most detailed kits I've ever had the pleasure to build.
It is fun and easy to build, very clear instructions and lots of stickers.
I would give this kit a 10/10.
I cant recommend this kits enough for anyone who has a city or country build as this would fit in with either scene.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day.
Amanite.
The minifigures are easy to build and all come with great facial expressions.
As you can see from the above pictures the amount of detail that has gone in to the kit is amazing.
The fridge is my favourite as you can see it is full of produce and lights up as well.
The attention to detail is amazing even down the vegetables and the wood facing on the building.
The best part of the kit is when its finished and the lights are switched on.
As you can see the interior of the store is lit up very nicely and the fridge is especially bright and at the forefront of the kit.
This is another great kit from Funwhole.
The kit is quite large and packed full of detail even though its only 556pcs.
There are no stickers with this kit as all the blocks are pre printed to the highest quality.
The LED light kit is included (batteries not included) and requires 2 c cell batteries.
The drinks cabinet is a great idea and has a pleasing glow when the light kit is switched on.
The other great idea they have put into this kit is the canopy at the front of the newsstand can be set in an in or out position, great for when its raining in the city.
Once built the kit is lit up really well by the LED lighting kit and includes a shop owner figure and a delivery moped.
This is another great kit full of imagination and play from Funwhole.
Id recommend for any one who wants to add a little something to there city and give this kit a solid 10/10.
Thanks for reading my review.
Have a great day.
Amanite
The first part of the kit goes together really well and is quite big.
What's in the kit?
The battery pack is cleverly placed inside a wall so you cant see it and the wires hidden with special bricks.
There is a side window and a backdoor to the newsstand
The side of the building also has a rotating window with two different posters inside as seen above, so it can be changed as and when.
This adds another layer of customisation and personality to the kit as you can also change the order of the magazines on display.
Lit up without the roof on so you can see inside the kit and see how easy it is to remove the roof for playability.

Box contains.
This is an amazing kit.
Large and full of detail and a perfect addition to any city.
It comes with some novel lighting ideas and ways to hide the wires as well. The bricks click together solidly and there are no lose parts.
As you can see from the pictures they use a lovely salmon colour for the flooring and it has a large shelve unit that can be accessed from every floor. The use of curved bricks for the front door step is very good and adds something abit different to the kit.
This demonstrates the ingenious way the wires are hidden in the walls of the store so you cant see them.
FUNWHOLE have made some unique bricks that allow the wires to be threaded through them and then bricks clip on top of them to hold the wires and hide them.
The back of the store can be opened to give access to the store for play value.
The outside of the store has many features as well as the inside.
From the intricate windows and stone cladding to the big bay window above the double doors at the front of the store.
The amount of effort gone into the smallest of details is incredible and well worth the effort to build them.
This is truly a store that has been looked after over the years and is in itself an antique.
My favourite part of the kit has to be stained glass window on the top floor.
The way it has been made is ingenious and looks so good when its lit up.
the window is on the back of the time picture and made up of an LED plate with clear coloured plates held down by black plates that let the light shine through, making a stained glass effect.
See video opposite for a demo of the lights.
Antique store F9033
As you can see there are a lot of bags for this set. At least 3-4 bags for each of the 12 sections of the kit.
There are 2 instruction books and three sets of lights.
There is also a bag with some of the printed pieces in it, The quality of the printed pieces is 100% top quality.
This is some of the ways the wires are hidden through out the model and clearly has had a lot of effort put into hiding the wires .
The chandelier in the photos was an excellent addition to the store and adds class to the kit. very easy to put together and shines very bright when put into the roof of the store.
Each floor of the store can be separated to accommodate playing with the kit without the need to remove the wires as there are special plates that connect from the floor above to the floor below. These plates allow for the store to still light up if you remove say the roof or second floor.
putting the floors back together makes the connection between the floors and lights up the floor above.
This is an incredibly good idea and one I've not seen on other kits before.
Here is just some of the amazing details you get with the store.
From the large pictures on the wall to the hourglass on the side of the store. there is so much detail. I wont show everything here as i want to leave some as a surprise when you build it.
Here are just some of the pictures of what to expect when you light up the store.
The lights are all bright and the lights in the store give it a warm glow. Adding to the welcoming feeling of the store.
Box contains.
The female owner Elsa is a young French girl in her twenties. She is the daughter of a newsstand grandfather and grew up in a coffee bookstore. She loves writing and is the grandfather's number one fan. Currently, she is mainly running the coffee bookstore. While running the coffee bookstore, she reads and creates, hoping that one day her works will be successful.
See pictures above for how the wires for the lights are hidden.
This is achieved by the use of special hollow bricks that you place the wires into and then cover with a special top brick.
This is the best solution I've ever seen for hiding wires in a kit. Well done Fun whole.
The first picture above shows the connector for the lights between the floors of the store. This has another connetor on the underside of the floor above and fits into place so you can use the store with lights on and have the second floor unattached for extra play options. When the second floor is put back on the store the connectors allow the whole store to light up.
This is an ingenious way of being able to seperate the floors of the store without having to remove the wires for the lights.
This is an amazing job by Fun Whole and i can see it being used in more kits to come.
I love the way that the story of the book store has been tied into the newsstand and that it is incorperated into the store by a picture of the newstand on the second floor.
Book café.
A Parisian themed café and book store.
The set comes with everything you need to build the kit.
It comes with the lighting kit.
4 minifigures (green Lego one not included just for showing the size comparison of the FO minifigures).
I especially like the way the wires for the lights are hidden using special bricks as seen in the picture.
The lights when lit are clear and bright and add a really nice touch the the store.
As you can see the Store sign has been pre printed onto the blocks which is better than trying to line up stickers. This touch is great as it adds to the premium feel of the kit.
As you can see from the pictures the amount of detail gone into this kit is incredible.
The banisters on the stairs are a nice touch.
At the back of the store is the coffee and espresso machines and the use of silver bricks really makes the machines pop and look more real.
The back wall of the store can be opened to allow easy access to play with the coffee machines and till arrear. giving easy access for more play options.
The second floor houses the library and a cosy chair and reading lamp.
I especially like the use of the salmon coloured tiles for the floor as it adds to the uniqueness of the store.
The back wall up here again can be opened to allow easy access to play with the figures in the library part of the store.
I'm sure you can find the right book for you in our collection of books while enjoying a freshly ground expresso.

As seen in the pictures the light connectors and the are cleverly hidden under the stairs and the battery pack clips onto the back wall hidden from view. You can also use the enclosed USB cable to power the lights, Which is a great touch.
The book cafe really comes to light when the lights are on and the clear bright lights make this kit pop.
As you can see the the whole store lights up and brings it to life.
The funwhole travel trailer set includes.
Unboxing the new funwhole trailer
A quick overview of the finished travel trailer.
The kit doesn't come with the base plate, trees or sand castle as i added them for scale and a more beach looking theme.
Just some more of the detail that has gone into this kit.
From the aircon on the back to the shower with its temperature guage.
Fitting the lighting block in the toilet area to power all the lights.
Putting the roof together was easy and has some of the essentials on top as well as 2 ceiling light.
There is a box for drinks, a folding table, 2 folding chairs and part of the stand for the BBQ all stored on the roof for when needed.
There are also 2 solar panels to make this a very eco-friendly way of powering the trailer.
The 2 surfboards and cloth awning finish the look of the trailer off nicely.
The kit doesn't come with the base plate, trees or sand castle as i added them for scale and a more beach looking theme.
In conclsion.
This is a fun and detail kit for any fan off the open road and trips to the beach.
The travel trailer is an excellent addition to any collection and loks great on display both with the lights on or off.
Funwhole again have outdone themselves with the lighting and the way they hide the wires. Well done.
I can give this a super easy 10/10.
Thank you for reading my review.
Have a great day.
Amanite.
Again Funwhole has out past it self in turns of the light kit and the way they fit the lights.
As you can see from the above videos they use a combination of special bricks used only by them and some clever design ideas to hide the wires.
The best one is the yellow four stub long hollow brick that the wires sit in and then this is covered by a thin lid that holds the wire in place but also makes it the same size as a regular brick.
Funwhole is the only brand I've seen using this idea for lighting their kits and is such a clever way of holding the wires in place and also tucking them out of sight.
The travel trailer has everything inside you would need to relax.
There's a sofa, microwave, fridge, water dispenser, bed, lots of storage space and even a mini Funwhole kit on the windowsill.
A fridge to keep your drinks and BBQ meat cold is also included and so is a cool box that is stored under the bed for all your BBQ meat ready to take outside and cook up a nice treat.
The microwave and bedside table lamp both light up with a warm glow as part of the lighting kit to make it look cosy for night time building of the Funwhole kit at the end of the day.
The trailer has a pull out step to get in and can be safely stored away when being towed.
Some more of the incredible detail that has gone into this kit.
The toilet has toilet paper, and some towels as its next to the shower.
There is plenty of storage space for anything else you may need or for souvenirs from your travels.
Showing how the battery pack is fitted underneath the trailer.
also the number plate and 2 stands at the front of the trailer to make sure its securely placed on the beach.
When the roof is fitted on, which is easily removed for more play options, it really brings this kit alive.
the lights in the microwave and bedside lamp are warm and ad a nice cosy feeling to the kit and the ceiling lights are bright enough without being to bright.
There is also a battery pack and gas bottle on the front of the trailer to provide all the power you may need.
A video showing how the connectors on the underside of the roof connect to the connectors on top of the wall to power the 2 ceiling lights.
The travel trailer looks great outside in the sunshine.
