this set just dropped on lumi’s site or amazon and figured it looked like fun while waiting for the cyberpunk train station set (which came out yesterday, september 12th) a little quicker than expected but i’d already bought this one, might as well full send. also this was the first one i got with only the lumibricks branding — much, much better brand name than funwhole, right?
update: 18 september 2025: finished
Front of the box, AKA how it will look at the end, dramatizedMore dramatic shots and a lot of text from the back of the boxLayer 1: StructureLayer 2: Additional structureLittle work bench and some flooring…After and before – that piece on the right is one big weird brick and there’s 4 of them that make these neat little mountainy thingsScenic photo, everyone takes thatThe first of the lights – above the deskThe first fixtures and some detail work…Installed more floors. And a wall. And a bookshelf!Probably hook up this wiring at some point and make things interestingBunkbedsSecond set of lights and more wallsCloseup of the wall detail (poster)More interior detailFirst time turning the lights on outside of testing – the first junction box is installed (rear)A slot for the battery boxA sliding device to mask the slot for the battery boxStarting to look a little like alpinesWe’ll just put a cute little crag right here…
lotta work done today don’t usually smash through almost an entire booklet of instructions in one day but might be a little excited for the cyberpunk train station
edit: okay so i finished up the actual rest of the book, first time i’ve finished a book of instructions in 24 hours but here we are, i’m going fast so i can get to the next one(s) i guess? and then i’ll have ……………
Just a cute little desk I didn’t mess up on at all and had to completely redo because of that little grey slice…Outside of (easily) removable wallInside of (easily) removable wallIt feels like this is probably all of the first floor and I should be working on the rest in the next book. Will I finish tomorrow? Will I no life Destiny Rising? Tune in next week
yeah yeah did more the next day (sunday 14th september)
FloorBut also ceiling and useful bits. The thing on the lower left with the wires coming out of it is the pogo pin power connector (so it’s kind of plug and play)Side wall and maybe like an AC unit or somethingOffice coffee pot and model rocket, standard office decorBooksBooks on a bookshelf (and desk, computers, lamp)Outside lightingWindows are inLights work!Pies cooling outside on a windowsill? I will stealThis looks neat but is on an exterior wall…Oh, the wall swings out. Convenient.Stairway to the observatoryI will steal.Outside lighting checkInside lighting check. There’s a sweet little planet display that rotates and the moon rotates around the planet as it goes around the Sun. If this was motorized, I’d lose my mind
tuesday, september 16th saw more building, few more steps (#10, 11, and 12) two left – but one of those is just finishing touches. this last step should be the projector level (neat) so i’ll be able to figure out which i want to “project” of the five that came with it — i chose constellations
Another floorWhich is also another ceilingThird floor balconyNeat little lit globeLooks like the start of an officeHandy outside lightingNo office would be complete without six screensSweet little lightbox that’s going unseen 99% of the timeGlobe lights upCeiling lightbox lit. This one is neat it should be on the wall or somethingSpeaking of walls, here’s a wallStart of the projector/telescope boxProjector bitsKinda looks like a cameraProjector: openProjector: closed
finished up today so here’s the last of the pictures. we were just about done last time with only a few little bits to add really
