Review of Lumibricks Record Store UK

We were so excited to start the next build from the lumibrick brand of alternative toy building bricks. After enjoying the street fusion lumibrick skate shop, we decided to go big and loud with the lumibricks Record Store set.

So what does a 1980 piece set get you? It sends you back in time.. to the late 1980’s or 90’s for a truck load of funk with an urban jelly jazz flavour!

The technical bit

The lumibricks Record Store F9058, features three storey forming a modular building that is rather unique.

You get 1980 pieces. We wonder if yhe piece count was selected on purpose to reference for 1980s? You also get six lumibrick style minifigures.

Best of all there are loads of printed parts and zero stickers!

The set included an excellent lighting kit:  29 Elements (with LED lights, brick connectors, tiny wire cables)

For the printed plates, we’re talking graffiti walls to retro signs and vinyl records from the street, this set captures the essence of cool style from the last century. lumibricks have put so much detail in this set, you could stare at it for hours.

What’s lumibrick brick quality like?

The set is a joy to build, with bricks that feel exactly like the market leading brand and instructions that are in the same class. Normal size and feel. Perfect clutch grip. FunWhole has done a first class job making this feel premium in every way. The clever Panorama Street View drawer-type floor removal system is incredible, allowing you to easily take out the floors on each level. One of the real plus points about this set is the lack of stickers. We all hate them… and FunWhole know that, providing proper high quality printed bricks and plates instead.

How easy is lumibricks Lighting to install?

As you build this from the ground up, you install the light wires as you go. This is so easy. I want nervous about this initially, but it couldn’t have been simpler. The instructions go overboard making sure you have it just right and are following along correctly. I really appreciated that. The tiny wires hide inside special bricks and then thread behind items and furniture so it’s discrete and looks perfect. When the lights turn on… your build becomes something special.

Who wants to build the lumibricks record store?

Aimed at afol’s ; Adult Fans of Lego, and Lego city builders… this is a detailed, rich building experience. However, it’s full of Easter eggs, play features and interesting details that younger builders will love. That makes it a perfect ‘family’ build you can work on as a pair or group.

In conclusion, we loved this build from start to finish. A larger set than the also popular lumibricks skate store. A solid 98% score
