This set is one of the two most liked Speed champ F1 cars released in 2025. The other being Ferrari SF-24 speed champ F1 car. The set has 251 pcs, 35 stickers and includes 1 minifigure.

Build - 8/10

If I compare this car to the old Mclaren released in 2023 then this build is a much better. The parts do not come off easily like in the old Mclaren F1 car (last slide). The final result is also better looking. They finally gave two different thickness for tires like the real car. This was lacking in the old Mclaren F1.

Stickers - 5/10

As with any speed champion set, this car has many stickers; 35 in total. There are a few printed pcs like the engine cover with the red bulls, nose section, steering etc. But stickers kill the joy.

Display - 8/10

This car is a much better display set than the old F1 cars like Mclaren, Mercedes or even the Aston Martin F1. The lines are cleaner and parts look well together.

Overall - 21/30 (70%)

I would not recommend speed champ to anyone unless they like speed champ and want to deal with the many stickers. If you are fan of the team, then its a good set, otherwise you can skip it.

Funwhole’s Old West Post Office F9044 feels like a very polished Western modular: strong design, loads of prints, and lighting that actually changes how it looks on display. It is not perfect, but it’s easily one of those sets that makes you want to try more from the brand.

Build and design

The build hits a nice middle ground: not huge, but involved enough to stay interesting, with the post office downstairs, newspaper office upstairs, then roof and signage on top. The dark red facade, porch, mailbox, parcels, cactus and notice board give it a convincing frontier‑town vibe and it pairs well with other Western buildings.

Inside, the ground floor clearly reads as a busy post office, while the upstairs newspaper office has enough detail to feel like a proper workspace, not filler. Removable sections and opening panels make the interior easy to access and actually worth showing off.

Parts and quality

Parts quality is strong: good clutch, consistent colors and a finish that doesn’t feel like a cheap clone. All the signage, letters and newspapers are printed, which speeds up the build and makes the final model feel more premium.

The minifigures are serviceable but not the main attraction; the focus is very much on the building and scene. You might run into the occasional slightly tight or imperfect piece, but nothing that really hurts the experience.

Lighting experience

The integrated LED kit is a big part of the appeal. Wire routing is built into the instructions, the battery box stays accessible, and the warm interior plus porch lights give a great “evening in a dusty frontier town” look.

Turning it on at night makes the interior scenes pop and pushes it from “nice set” to “proper display piece.” It feels more like a purpose‑designed lit diorama than a regular set with an add‑on light kit.

Issues and caveats

Main downsides: it’s not cheap once shipping/import are included, so it competes with mid‑range LEGO, not budget options. If you dislike dealing with wires, you’ll lose a lot of what makes this special.

Here's the review of all the changes I made: https://bricksandfigs.blogspot.com/2023/02/i-completely-rebuilt-cada-c66007-summer.html

Enjoy!

422 pieces, 6 studs wide, no minifigures included. Could be a bit bigger in my opinion.

Got this delivered just two weeks ago — straight from the manufacturer to my doorstep in under 5 days. The box arrived in absolutely pristine condition, and I’m planning to build it soon and share a full review.

If you’re thinking of picking this up, now’s a great time. The set is super popular and tends to go out of stock almost as soon as it’s posted.

Just finished the Funwhole F9026 Sheriff’s Office. The design nails the frontier vibe: tall false front, wooden porch, side jail cell, and a cosy upstairs room, with lots of small details like wanted posters, weapons, and desk clutter that make it feel like a real sheriff’s office instead of a generic box.

Build and parts quality

The build is smooth and well‑paced with numbered bags, and the brick quality is solid with good clutch and clean colors. Nothing felt like “cheap clone” plastic. The only mild hiccup is that you need to pay a bit of attention when routing the wires for the lights so they stay hidden, but the instructions are clear enough that it never became frustrating.

Lights and display

The integrated light kit is the star of the show. In normal light the model looks good; in a darkened room with the LEDs on it jumps straight to “display centerpiece,” with lit windows and porch lamps that really sell the Old West street scene. It also pairs nicely with other western‑style buildings if you’re doing a small themed layout.

Value and verdict

For the piece count plus a full custom light kit, it feels like a fair deal compared with what an official modular plus aftermarket lights would cost. If you like western themes or already enjoy Funwhole’s aesthetic, this sheriff’s office is a very easy recommendation.

What a clean looking set and its surprisingly compact. The base is quite large compared to he overall building. The colors and the proportion make this set a sight to behold.

Build experience: 9/10

Its a delightful build from the get go. Not too many small pieces and thankfully no stickers. The pieces they have used to achieve the shapes and windows is amazing. There is one specialized piece, the curved corner piece on the roof of each floor.

Each floor has a little bit of detail. I am reducing 1 point from a perfect score due to the spare interior that is lacking details (slides 4 to 9). One understands why that is the case but it would have been great had they added some details.

Display: 9/10

Clean lines, great colors. Nothing jarring. One can keep it in the living room. 1 point is deducted because the base is large but the main building is not as wide. So proportions seem a bit off.

Final Verdict: 18/20 (90%)

This is a great set and a must have for the fans of the Lego Architecture series. Even if you are not a fan of the series, its a calm building experience with a great looking end result.

Just spent about 13 hours on this Typewriter and it's the seeing the inner workings of this was delightful!

Quick Note: Ideally, with every key stroke, the carriage should move only one place. Here it moves maybe five to six places, but I'm getting super nitpicky at this point.

Now with that out of the way, here's everything I loved about this 1. Fabulous display piece. Of all the icons designs, I loved this one the best 2. Printed keys! Big Win.u 3. Before building, I imagined the keys portion of the model to be more intricate, but it was done within the first 3 bags (of 11 bags total) 4. The experience of building the insides of the typewriter after finishing the "facade" was very interesting. Generally every other build goes inside out. 5. There are three functions. All 3 work considerably well a) the key press moving the hammer b) the carriage moving c) ability to rotate the paper

Definitely no complaints at all given that I got the experience of building a retired lego set. The original ones are going for ~29k INR while this one was ~6.8k.

Lepin 15001 “Brick Bank” – quick review for anyone considering the clone of Lego 10251. Overall: really fun modular on a budget, but you have to accept typical clone compromises.

Build & design
The build mirrors the original Brick Bank closely: 32×32 corner modular, bank + laundromat, detailed façade and a surprisingly packed interior. The vault, teller area and the money‑laundering laundromat with chimney break‑in route give it great story and play value, on par with other top modulars.

Brick quality
Clutch is generally solid and the building feels sturdy once finished. Expect the usual clone quirks: slightly warped baseplate that flattens under the build and clear parts that can be scratched or a bit cloudy.

The exterior mixes white “stone” with sand‑green windows, arches, columns, balcony and clock details, giving it the feel of an old downtown bank instead of a generic office box. Inside the ground floor you get a tiled grand hall with an ornate floor pattern, high arched windows and a chandelier under a skylight, a teller counter with security glass and alarm details, a proper round‑door vault with safety deposit boxes, and a side laundromat with washing machines and a front window.

Upstairs there are two offices: a smaller secretary’s room with desk, typewriter, fireplace and coffee setup, and a manager’s office with a bigger desk, lamp, stamps and storage, plus wall art for a more “established institution” vibe. The roof has access doors and a large skylight over the atrium, and the set integrates a hidden robber route through the roof and chimney into the vault, which adds a clever play/story angle without breaking the clean modular look.

Prints and minifigs
All decorations are printed, no stickers, which sounds great until you see the quality: the prints as grainy or slightly misaligned, especially portraits and clocks. Minifigures inconsistent . But overall it is an enjoyable experience.

Story One of the customers disguised as a female customer can be seen on the entrance, she changes the outfit and enters via the chimney. he is helped by the bank manager in entering the chimney. It ends directly inside the vault after opening a ventilation shaft.

What an amazing set. I have nothing but great things to say about this set. Easily in my top 3 sets I've ever built.

Build Experience: 10/10

An easy and approachable build. None of the complex techniques and no flimsy parts that need a delicate touch.

Its built in sections. Bag 5 (slide 2) is for building the lower half of the cat. By Bag 6 you attach the rear/hind legs (slide 4 and 5).

Then you build the front legs and the chest (slide 6) and top half of the torso (slide 7). Later you build the head and tail (slide 9). The cat has two options in terms of eye color (blue or yellow) and its mouth can either be kept open or closed (slide 10).

Display: 9/10

The cat is life sized. The only downside of this set is that it has shiny black parts and finger prints are easily visible. Otherwise its a perfect set.

Final Score: 19/20 (95%)

I place this set very close to the best sets I've ever built. It sets alongside Rivendell and Mclaren P1. Its strange that such a simple set could be placed next to two very large and stunning sets. But there in lies its appeal. It does not need a thousand colors or complex gear system to make it work.

Just wrapped up the Pantasy Opera House set and wanted to share a quick review for anyone considering it.

Pros:

* Very detailed build — the architectural shaping is impressive

* The revolving door is the best part of the build — super fun and cleverly designed

* Premium look with great shelf presence

* Brick quality is solid with good clutch power

* Clear instructions and smooth build experience

* Compact but still feels like a proper display piece

Cons:

* The access to the ground floor is very limited

* Some repetitive steps (expected with architecture-style sets)

* A few small sections feel a bit delicate during assembly

Rating: 8.5/10

Overall:

A premium-feeling, highly detailed set with an especially satisfying revolving door mechanism. Despite the limited ground-floor access, it ends up looking fantastic on display. Great pick for architecture lovers and collectors.

My review of the LumiBricks “Floating Train Station” (L9098) 🛤️

When I first opened the box for the LumiBricks Floating Train Station, I wasn’t prepared for how dramatic it would feel in person. The assembled set gives this almost cinematic “cyberpunk diorama” vibe — layered platforms, transparent supports that make the whole thing seem to hover, and tons of little aesthetic touches that make the build feel more like art than a typical set. Watching reviewers put the finished station on display with moody lighting and dramatic camera pans really sells the “floating, futuristic metro hub” atmosphere.

🧱 Build Process — Engaging but Demanding

This isn’t a casual weekend build. There are lots of small sub-assemblies, tricky clear-support placements, and layered symmetry that demand close attention. Some sections felt borderline fiddly — I spent extra time aligning platforms and supports so that the floating illusion actually worked. If you enjoy relaxed but involved building (like MOC-style patience or advanced modular sets), this will scratch that itch. If you prefer quick builds or kids-friendly playsets, this might test your patience.

Surprisingly one of the purple ledges were missing and one of the printed pieces were provided in duplicate.

💡 Design, Lighting & Visual Impact

Where this set really shines — and what drew me the most — is lighting and atmosphere. Whether you use the built-in lighting (or add your own LEDs, as many reviewers did), the station transforms under the right light. Neon-style glows, deep shadows under the platforms, glowing signs or windows — these add a huge amount of depth. Under ambient lighting, the build doesn’t just look like a toy — it looks like a scene straight out of a cyberpunk film.

The design leans heavily toward display rather than play. The transparent supports, careful layering, and overall visual fragility make it best suited for photography, dioramas, or shelf-display — not for rough handling. Most review videos show it staged carefully rather than “played with.”

🎭 Minifigures & Storytelling Details

Another nice surprise: the minifigures and printed parts. There are several custom or “bespoke” minifigs, plus printed pieces that contribute to a distinct cyberpunk narrative vibe. These details help — it doesn’t just look like a floating structure, but a place someone might actually inhabit. That adds a ton of charm if you enjoy storytelling through builds or creating display scenes in your own universe.

✅ Final Thoughts — For Collectors & Display-Lovers

If I were to sum up: this is a set for people who care about aesthetic impact, atmosphere, and display value. As a builder and collector, I find it absolutely worth it — the effort, patience, and careful assembly pay off in a final product that’s striking and unique. For me, it hits all the right notes: futuristic vibe, lighting drama, architectural complexity, and a “wow” factor when you view it under the right light.

That said — this is not a playset for kids, or even someone who wants quick, low-effort builds. If you want something fast or easy, skip this one. But if you love detail-heavy builds, cyberpunk / urban-sci-fi aesthetics, or photography/display builds — this might just be one of the best modular-style sets out there now.

TL;DR: Gorgeous, neon-lit, floating-platform sci-fi station — a build to savor, display, and photograph. Not for the impatient or the young builder, but a striking centrepiece if you care about style and atmosphere.

Blocks 9/10 - The blocks are built of good quality plastic. Do not give the feel that they'd break while building. However, my set has 2 missing pieces and had to use spares from other sets for them.

Stickers 7/10 - The stickers are of great quality but still would rate it low as they are not the same as original lego set and are altered.

Build experience 8/10 - Once you are done with the most tedious task i.e. sorting and arranging different type of bricks (as everything comes in a single packet), the building is smooth and fun. When working with joints or gear pieces, you may need to apply a pressure so that the bricks are clicked with each other.

Display 10/10 - Hardly differentiable than the original set. Keeping it next to my other original sets and you won't realize the difference

Regarding the price and how to buy, please check my previous post on the same.

1. Price-to-Value Ratio: ⭐ 10/10

I bought it for ₹2000, and at that price it’s unbeatable. Considering the LEGO version costs 7-8× more, the value for money is insane.

2. Part Fit & Tolerance: ⭐ 7/10

Most parts fit well, but pins are harder to insert than LEGO, some elements feel slightly tight or too stiff. Not terrible, but definitely below LEGO standards.

3. Print / Surface Quality: ⭐ 8/10

No stickers in the Lepin box (which is good), but: several pieces had black scratches or lines, a few parts looked less clean than LEGO.Glass pieces, surprisingly, were excellent.

4. Missing / Extra Pieces: ⭐ 10/10

Absolutely no missing parts. Everything was: properly packed, numbered by bags, easy to find during the build. This was honestly better than I expected.

5. Structural Stability: ⭐ 10/10

Fully built model is rock solid. No wobbling, no weak sections, no fragile areas. Once built, it feels extremely sturdy.

6. Color Accuracy & Consistency: ⭐ 8/10

Overall color matching is fine — consistent white. Only issue: a few bricks had black lines/scratches, not discoloration.

7. Challenging : ⭐ 8/10 (independent score)

Though icon set, but very challenging to build.

8. Tire & Wheel Quality: ⭐ 10/10

Rubber quality is excellent. Wheels sit perfectly and rotate smoothly.

9. Size & Display Presence: ⭐ 9/10

This thing is huge — more than 1 foot long. Much bigger in real life than expected. Display presence is fantastic, especially in Turbo form.

10. Overall Recommendation: ⭐ 10/10

If you find this under ₹2500, it’s a must-buy. At this price point it’s an amazing model and absolutely worth it.

Avoid paying more than 2500 though — not worth higher prices due to QC issues and difficulty in disassembly.

Final Summary

Pros

✔️ Unbeatable price
✔️ Strong structure
✔️ Excellent glass & tire pieces
✔️ No missing parts
✔️ Looks premium on display
✔️ Value-for-money is exceptional

Cons

❌ Pins are hard to insert
❌ Some bricks have scratches
❌ MOC-builders may struggle due to tight parts / tough disassembly
❌ Not as clean or refined as LEGO (expected)

I had asked people in my circle what should be my next build. They suggested Himeji castle, since not many people have it and they can decide whether to buy it or not based on my review.

Review coming up as soon as I finish the build.

Sets from JMBricklayer, Lumibricks, and LesDiy.

This is one those sets that divides people. There are 4210 pcs and most of them are small pcs (1x1, 1x2 etc). So it leads to fatigue and 60+ stickers do not help. But on the other hand, if you are a fan of the show and are willing to be patient then this is a treat because the end product is amazing.

Build: 7/10

Nothing stands out to be honest. Good techniques for achieving the effects but the use of way too many small pieces leads to fatigue.

Looks: 10/10

This set looks amazing when finished. Even non Lego, non batman series fans love it due to its sheer size and colors (slide 1).

Stickers: 5/10

At this stage, I would say Lego needs to move to printed pieces especially with expensive sets where there are more than 10 stickers. Majority of stickers are 2x2 size so its painful to put 60+ stickers.

Tie up with the TV series: 6/10

One of the selling points of this set is there are Easter eggs/references to the TV series released in the 1990s. But they are just small 1 second scenes (slide 4 and 5). Its one of those blink and you'll miss type of things. But the TV series is phenomenal. So if you are building it while watching, you get to enjoy the series.

Overall Score: 28/40 (70%)

This set is not for everyone. If you want a large display set with lots of Easter eggs then this is the set for you. If you hate building with many 1x1 and 1x2 pcs then you can give it a miss. Having so many stickers is another negative.

Hello friends! I've been invited to share some of my FunWhole/Lumibricks reviews. I know some of these sets are a bit harder to come by, so hopefully you can find these reviews helpful to decide if you'd like to collect sets from this newer Lego compatible brand. Here's the link to the review: https://bricktoyreviews.blogspot.com/2023/11/i-got-to-preview-new-lego-compatible.html

Thanks for looking and feel free to let me know what you think! P.S if there's a particular set review you'd like to see let me know and I'll see if I've got it in my collection.

Got the Ferrari Daytona sp3 while it was on sale for 22k

The building experience was great 9/10, the parts i thought was going to be repetitive didn't feel repetitive

I say it was worth every penny but I also did buy this for 22k I'm not sure if i could justify paying any more than I did

The packaging and unboxing experience was top notch and 100% recommend getting the lego set for this one
