FUNWHOLE Medieval Watchtower Lighting Building-Bricks Set - Guardiance Castle with Soldier Farmer Minifigures Collectible Display Set 1625 Pcs for Adults and Teen

This is one of Funwhole's best sets! The design is really attractive and well conceived, with a lot play features/functionality, too, like a portcullis and drawbridge that can be both raised and lowered, a ballista mounted on a swivel and one on wheels, an ox cart, multiple figures, extra weapons, etc. This is a dream for castle/medieval fans who are sick of Lego mostly ignoring the theme and drastically overcharging for everything. As usual, Funwhole bricks are as good as or better than Lego, the manual is better, and the box and overall presentation are more attractive and upscale than Lego's cheap-feeling manuals and boring box art. Funwhole really puts a lot of care into their sets. You get all prints (no stickers), integrated lights, and a fun build. The only drawbacks are very tiny: a few questionable color choices--the orange of the thatched roof is gaudy--and the crank arms on the ballistas can fall off easily. An awesome value, period, particularly at Funwhole's low prices.

Lego does not have enough castle sets that are a reasonable price so we settled for this set but, WOW!!! This set has so many fun details and is really well designed. The wiring and lighting has a little bit of a learning curve but makes the castle look so pretty. I also appreciate that it is a not a direct Lego knock off. Obviously they use Lego compatible bricks and building techniques but the design is not a copy of an existing LEGO set. My teenager (who got it for Christmas) was skeptical at first but quickly became very excited as he built it. He is very happy with the overall build and especially with the playability. He hates it if he spends hours building something and then you can't easily access the inside for setting up scenes. The whole model is designed to be opened and closed easily and doesn't fall apart at the slightest touch. We were a little "meh" about the minifigures at first but little guys grew on us. They aren't Lego Minifigures and have their own personalities and are just better quality than the typical "this is not a LEGO minifigure" guy. We are definitely buying more of these sets from lumibricks!

We love this brand of brick block toys. Ive given each of my adult children and their mates one every Christmas. They are a better price than the original brand (lego), are of great quality and they are very detailed. We always get the light kit with it which makes it even better!

I love the look of the Funwhole Medieval Watchtower, even with the lights off! I appreciate that there are no stickers, and I especially like the large wall panels with vines and bricks printed on them. I like that there's both a gate and drawbridge that can be raised and lowered, and I like that there are two staircases in the tower (not just ladders). The figures and ox look good, although I wish the ox had two 1x2 tan plates and a 1x2 tan tile rather than one 1x2 brick to fill in the void. That way, it wouldn't have two visible studs on its back. I appreciate the few pulsating lights that mimic flames, but really all of the lights should have that feature because they all represent fire. The two LEDs on torches beside the front gate should have orange flame pieces on top of them. Also, the battery box tends to fall off when I try to power on/off the set. Aside from these minor quibbles, this set looks great in my medieval village, and I'd love to see the wall extended with future add-on sets. Better yet--how about a castle for the walls to protect? (I have no doubt Funwhole could produce a castle as good as Lego's Lion Knights' Castle and for a lot less than $400--and it would light up too!)

The look of the characters takes a bit of getting used to compared to another major brand of bricks, but super fun set to put together. The lights and a fun challenge, but the directions are simple to read and help it go together easily. I will definitely buy more of these sets, they are a great deal, especially when they are on sale.

My just turned 10 year old daughter LOVED this set! She did a cool school module on the Medieval age and I bought this together with the Medieval Town Square lego kit (she liked this too) for her to make a whole community type set up, as a birthday present. That said, she does unaided lego adult advanced builds generally, so was not sure if this would be a wash and completed in just a few hours, sigh. To the contrary, not only did it have the structural interest, she was excited about putting together the "electrical" components to light up certain parts and other engineering moving parts like draw bridges. It was not difficult but had a number of bumper pieces filled bags and interesting "side" projects to make this come "alive". Took her about 12-16 hours to complete over a few days, as we had a lot going on at the time. HIGHLY recommended!

To anyone concerned about Lego constantly rising prices, look no further for a replacement option. Funwhole sets provide folks with Lego quality builds, clear and concise instructions, AND LIGHTS! I personally love adding lights to certain sets to make them a little more fun and inviting but having it as the standard, already included and easily integrated into the set while building. It's really a no brainer. And there's more than just medeival themed sets. The new cyberpunk and street fusion stuff looks great. Plus they've got western, steampunk, and more conventional city buildings.

Love this brand. The builds are always fun to do , ive never had any issues with the lights not working. Quality product.

Es un set muy bien logrado

Rien de négatif à dire. C’est des blocs avec des beaux modèles . Faciles à construire. Les plans sont clair. Mon 2 iem set que je construit. Je n’ai 2 autres qui s’en viennent à la poste. Je conseil aux amateurs de blocs .

Absolutely buy this set if you like building with little blocks for a fraction of the price. It's great quality, instructions are clear, all the pieces were there. The lights are such a fun touch. I've already bought another set from the same brand.

Great build quality, great designs, easy to follow instructions, fair pricing for what you’re purchasing! We have avidly stuck with the “LEGO” brand sets for about 9 years- while the figures are clearly different my son found them compatible and everything looks amazing! He was very impressed with his first set from this company and has a list a mile long of the next ones he wants to get! We LOVED the lighting! Highly recommend trying this brand out- you will not be disappointed!!
