Good review, thank you. I very much like Pantasy products - the designs, the quality (and quantity) of the bricks, no hurting fingers as you mentioned. As for the lack of Minifigures - it is better this way. As a Lego fan, I have thousands of those and love them and will not use off brand minifigs. But a well designed European building is always a welcome addition to all my Lego official modulars, MOCs, and off brand brick buildings. I think I am adding this one, too.
LEGO does seem to have the monopoly on quality in terms of figures. I'd like to see some other brands start pushing them! Glad to hear you'll be picking up the Pantasy Bakery! Don't forget to use the discount code for 10% off if you do!
My favorite is the Bookshop. The bright blue townhouse next to the warm earthtones and dark reds of the bookshop, plus the Autumn foliage are all really beautiful.
@@JoshtheBrickworm As with any other new brand they will have issues with quality when it comes to mold fitting and even color formula. The longevity of the brand and possibly of the product. Also the resale value, it’s just not LEGO so it won’t hold value as well for when I decide to sell my collection which would make this more of a toy rather than a collectible.
Pantasy sources their bricks from GoBricks though so I have faith in the over all quality. In terms of the collectible value, that's fair. I think that if you're going for building a city or buying things for display, that these are high quality alternatives but they certainly aren't an investment that will beat the market like LEGO is.
I haven't done any FunWhole sets yet, but they are on my list to try! I have a big back log of things to get through before I get to FunWhole though. If you're interested in lighting kits, JMBricklayer sets also come with lighting kits and I have built one of their sets and it is good quality.
Thank you! Yeah, I have way too big of a backlog to buy any new sets from any brand! But, once I do start buying I'm tempted to try one of these off-brands @@JoshtheBrickworm
I think it's great to have a blend of MOCS and sets. LEGO and LEGO alternative sets provide you with some awesome buildings to put into your city that look amazing. For collectors who prefer not to MOC, it's especially great to have sets that can fit into a city.
This looks awesome - just finished the Pantasy Steampunk Railway Station on my channel. Nice job and it looks great
Pantasy is really becoming one of my favorite brands! Nothing but quality from them so far!
my favorite modular is the palace cinema set 😏😏
A worthy favorite!

The bookshop is a great one! I think that the bakery actually would slot in perfectly with that one in particular!
I got my copy of the set today
Awesome! Let me know how your build goes!
This was such a great build
I had a great time building it and the end product is so beautiful.
My favorite parts are the gym and the coffee cup sign.
the assembly square set gives me a huge city vibe which I enjoy the most 😊
A good choice!
My favorite modular is the Parisian Restaurant. Clever part usage, so much detail, and cute stories.
Gotta love a set with good part usage! Always is a winner for me!
the jazz club because it reminds me of my favorite music shop growing up when my dad use to take me :)
Love it! It's cool when LEGO meets the real world.
My favorite modular is the natural history museum. I'm a huge museum nerd, and I think the designers just nailed it
That's a great one! Probably one of the best! I usually see it in top five rankings.
You seen Funwhole sets yet??
My favorite is the new new museum one. I really like the dinosaur in it!
The Museum is definitely a top tier set !
I like the detective office set!
A great one!
Sherlock holmes has been my fave
It's really such a good set!
I still don’t own any modular sets but the Diner set was my favorite a few years ago 😊
also question, does my entries previously don’t count anymore?
You previous entry is counted! I'm just giving new subscribers a chance to enter!
Love it! (But a clear bathroom door!?!?!) Thank you for thoughtful reviews of this and the Baker Street sets. Subscribing for more reviews.
The clear bathroom door is highly questionable. xD
I would still not buy off brand Lego but it works as a great MOC to build with actual Lego pieces. I thought the treadmill was pretty creative!
What's your objection to buying LEGO alternatives?

Have you also done the FunWhole sets? I am tempted by the light kits that come with it

@@brickblums You'll be surprised at how close the quality is!
It would be even more cool if the toilet flushed
The idea of lego is CREATE YOUR OWN
Its' not YOUR city if you don't. It's nothing more than a set of franchises ultimately owned by other people.
