Today's Review: Funwhole Lakeside Lodge FH9004 Building Set

The Lakeside Lodge by Funwhole is a rustic cabin by the water's edge.  It's the second set by Funwhole, the first being the Wood Cabin FH9001.

I think both of the buildings complement each other nicely.

The Lakeside Lodge comes with 1969 pieces and has interior and exterior lighting included to really make the set shine.

What's the Best Package Tracker? (Every Package Tracker I Use)



Have you ever ordered something from Aliexpress.com or another Chinese shopping site and wondered if the tracking number provided was actually trackable?  

In my years of shopping for alt Lego, mostly on Aliexpress, I've used various tracking websites.  I haven't found a single package tracker yet that can track everything, so I've had to rely on a few different ones.   Try them out and see which ones work for you.

Here's a complete list of every package tracker I've used.  


Package Tracker URL
https://www.17track.net/en
https://track.4px.com/#/
https://www.cne.com/track/
https://global.cainiao.com/index.htm?spm=a3708.7860690.0.0.71434321F7xWc7
https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/track-reperage/en#/home
https://parcelsapp.com/en
https://www.ship24.com/

Please note that the Canada Post tracking site only works for shipments to Canada, all of the others should work for global package tracking.

If you received a valid tracking number from your online purchase, it should work on one of the above sites.  If not, you probably got a fake tracking number!

Funwhole FH-9001 Wood Cabin Review: What's in the Box?


What's up brick fans?  I'm back to show you the latest brick set that isn't Lego.  Today, I'll be unboxing the new Funwhole FH-9001 Wood Cabin set, so you can get an idea of what to expect when you open the box.  

This post will be the first part in  my comprehensive review of the Retro House Wood Cabin.  Future posts will look at the lighting features and the subsequent build process.

This set was kindly provided to my by Funwhole and it came within two weeks, which is superfast.  What's cool is that they sent me the entire box, which is something I don't normally get with brick sets I've bought before.



The box features a picture of a nicely lit constructed Wood Cabin set.  In the foreground, there appears to be a quirky brick sheep.  The large letters F.O feature prominently on the box, but I'm not sure what it stands for.  Underneath that is the brand Funwhole and the set number which is FH-9001.  The set contains 2097 pieces and is called the Wood Cabin, Retro House.   

What's unique about this set is the fact that they include an LED lighting kit to light up the house.  Normally you would expect to see this as a component you'd have to buy and pay for separately, but you get it included in this set by Funwhole.  I guess that's why their logo is Delight Day and Night.


On the side of the box, the official manufacturer's name and address is indicated and they also have a couple of contacts in Europe, namely Germany and London.

On the back of the box, the Wood Cabin is featured both at night and during the day, so that you can enjoy the lighting effect.

Wow, there's a whole lotta stuff inside the box!   Let's check out what we got.


The first thing one notices, is the thick instruction manual. I didn't count the pages, but I would guess there's about one hundred pages.

Inside the manual, you get an introduction to the company.  Although it's a new brick company, it says it was founded in 2014, so I'm surmising that they had forays into other business ventures before getting into building blocks.

In the manual, they even provide instructions on how to use their proprietary brick separator tool.


The instruction manual gives you an inventory of the lighting accessories.  There are actually a few more parts than pictured.  In my next post, I'll look at what you can expect from the light kit and how to do some preliminary testing before you incorporate the parts into the wood cabin set.  Funwhole assumes you already know how to use the light kits with the bricks but I think it would be worthwhile going over.

Earlier this year, I had an opportunity to sample some Lightailing LED light kits and the accessories here look very similar.  In addition to the lighting accessories, I got a battery pack, the brick separator and a bonus set of tweezers, they don't tell you about.  

Here are all the bags and baseplates that comprise the 2097 pieces of the Wood Cabin set.  Each set of numbered bags pertains to the section in the manual.  Here's the breakdown of parts bags per section:

Section 1: 6 bags
Section 2: 6 bags
Section 3: 5 bags
Section 4: 4 bags
Section 5: 6 bags
Section 6: 5 bags
Section 7: 4 bags

A customer service contact card is also provided if you discover any issues with your set.  I hope I don't have to use it!

Finally, here is the sticker sheet.

Well, that's it for this post.  You can find my full review of the Funwhole Wood Cabin set here:  https://its-not-lego.blogspot.com/2022/07/funwhole-wood-cabin-building-set-review.html

Lego Compatible Product Collaborations in 2021


Welcome to itsnotlego! Looking back at 2021, this was the year that I started collaborating with brick stores and brands.



My first partnership was with the company called Brickkk.com back in August.  They offered to send me a set to review but I wasn't sure if it was a scam or not, so I just asked them to send me a small set.   Turns out Brickkk.com is totally legit and I had nothing to worry about!


The new brand was called Pantasy and I got to choose one from a variety of diorama sets that they called the P-box series.  Here was my first review in September 2021 for Brickkk.com, it was the Pantasy P-Box DJ Booth set 98001.  I was pleasantly surprised by it's unique design and the quality of the bricks used.   





In November, another company that specializes in Lego lighting kits reached out to me and asked if I wanted to review their product. 


The company called Lightailing.com let me choose a lighting kit to review.  I chose the Briksmax brand lighting kit set bx036 for my Detective's Office modular building around late November 2021.




Brickkk.com was very receptive to my initial review for them, so they offered to send me Pantasy's latest product, a very nice set called 221B Baker Street residence based on the Sherlock Holmes character.  This was more like an interior diorama and it was jam packed with details.  Again, the quality of the bricks was excellent.




Finally, towards the end of the year, I had the opportunity to work with Lightailing.com again to light up my the Blade Runner police spinner MOC set.  I got to design my very own light kit, working with the Lightailing designers.




I'm so humbly honoured and appreciative of these companies reaching out to me to review their new products.  Thank you so much Brickkk.com and Lightailing.com for such a unique opportunity.
