Opinion
Turning the Pharos of Alexandria into a set is a great idea. Funwhole has delivered again a high-quality product, this time with prints even. The set represents quite well one of the known interpretations of what the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria may have looked like.
I welcome that Funwhole is entering the world of ancient Architecture with this set. As usual, the set comes with high-quality packaging and lighting is included as well. The piece quality is great across the board. We still have to deal with micro-scratches though.
However, the power connections between the tower modules only work with lots of applied pressure, and one wonders why an Architecture set needs to be modular in the first place. Moreover, the hidden Easter egg between the floors does not correspond to the historical evidence. Also, they could have hidden the wiring in the courtyard better.
This is great set with the usual strengths and weaknesses for this manufacturer. Whether you like the orange banner Tiles is a matter of taste though.
