Review: Lumibricks Autumn Farmhouse (Set 16013)

Welcome back, brick fans, to another hands-on review here at Its-Not-Lego! As the summer heat fades and the leaves start turning into those beautiful, crisp shades of amber and orange, there is nothing quite like cozying up at the build table with a brand-new set. Today, we are diving headfirst into the highly anticipated seasonal drop: the Lumibricks Autumn Farmhouse (Set 16013).

Lumibricks has been consistently knocking it out of the park lately with their heavily detailed, atmospheric builds. For the uninitiated, this brand specializes in sets that feature fully integrated LED light kits right out of the box.

Following their fantastic entries in the Farm Life theme—like the Dutch Windmill and the quaint Shepherd’s Cottage—the Autumn Farmhouse leans heavily into cozy, harvest-season aesthetics. Packed with pumpkins, vibrant foliage, and rustic architectural charm, this set aims to be the perfect focal point for your autumn displays or Halloween layouts. But does the build experience hold up? Let’s find out!

Thanks so much to Lumibricks for sending me the set to review!

Unboxing

The Autumn Farmhouse comes in a premium, thick, matte-finish cardboard display box wrapped in gorgeous graphic design. The front showcasing the farmhouse glowing against an autumn twilight backdrop is pure eye-candy.

Inside, the organization is top-tier:

• Numbered Bags: The 1557 pieces are separated into clearly labeled, sequential building stages (Stages 1 through 8).  There are two additional bags marked S for special parts and F for the minifigures.  I counted 27 parts bags in total.
• Instruction Manual: You get a thick, high-gloss instruction booklet. The print quality is exceptionally sharp, with the current build steps highlighted in full colour while previous steps are slightly grayed out to avoid eye strain.  Did you know that you can also download a PDF version of the instructions from the Lumibricks website?  Just follow this link and search the catalog for the set number.
• The Light Kit Box: Hidden away in its own protective cardboard inner sleeve is the electronics package. It contains neatly wrapped LED light strings, individual expansion boards, tweezers to help feed wires.  Two battery packs are provided in this set, the gray pack uses 3 AAA batteries for the farmhouse and a smaller flat battery pack that uses CR2032 batteries to light up the giant pumpkin. (Note: Batteries are not included).

The Build

1. The Brick Quality & Clutch Power

Let's talk about the physical plastic first. Lumibricks famously uses GoBricks as their manufacturing source, which means the clutch power is outstanding. The bricks snap together with a satisfying, clean click. The tiles feel premium, sporting smooth, glossy surfaces without micro-scratches out of the box.

2. The Build Process & Structural Design

The build kicks off with the sprawling rustic foundation and the outdoor landscape.  The irregular shaped base is 32 studs wide by 26 studs deep.   The actual farmhouse foundation is much smaller at 14x14 studs with the extension measuring approximately 10x12 studs at their longest dimensions.

As you can see, the farmhouse is equipped wth a large kitchen to make all sorts of jam.  The kitchen occupies the farmhouse extension and the dining table serves as a work and prep table as well.

Focus now moves to construction of the exterior walls to give the farmhouse it's unique shape.

For extra play and display value, the back wall of the farmhouse swings away.  

Check out the abundant vegetable patch!  It's got pumpkins, squash, carrots, corn, lettuce and much more!

There are a ton more details to add to the landscaping but for now we will look at the next part of the build, which is the attic.  The second floor houses a cozy attic loft bedroom, with a big comfy armchair, a long desk, and a pumpkin themed reading light.

Here are the assembled roof panels for the farmhouse.  As you can see, the attic is fully modular and the roof can be removed to allow easy access to the interior.

Wow, isn't this an absolutely cute farmhouse?  

And because it's the fall season, we can't forget about Halloween with a spooky tree and a giant pumpkin!

I thought I followed the instructions, but my apple tree looks a bit weird, hopefully yours will look better!

What's more welcoming than a pig sty right at the front door!  Just think of the smell on those hot summer days!

A welcoming scarecrow keeps an eye on the crops, complementing the rustic charm of our farmhouse, which doubles as a small market for fresh produce and homemade preserves.

3. The Minifigures

You may think these three minifigures are the stars of the show, but actually ....

... it's these three guys!   Two pigs and a chicklet!

But these are not small piglets, they are full sized hogs.  

The hogs just barely fit into the pigsty!

4. The Lighting and my Modifications

Ultimately, lighting is the defining feature that separates Lumibricks from its competitors. With twelve points of light, the light elements here may be sparse, but they are incredibly effective at bringing the set's atmosphere to life.

While the set provides the necessary battery packs to power the lights,  I decided to stick the the provided USB plug into a wall attached power source, as an alternative way to light up the farmhouse.  Here's a behind the scenes look at my setup.

Also, here's an alternative way to light up the pumpkin without using a battery pack.   You will need:

- a Lumibricks/Lightailing/Briksmax compatible four port hub and an extension wire about 15cm (6 inches) in length

• Relocate the original two-port hub from the farmhouse and attach it to the pumpkin light.
• Install a custom four-port hub onto the attic rafters to power the reading lamp.
• Bridge the four-port hub to the two-port hub with a connecting wire to feed power to the pumpkin.
• Result: This configuration successfully bypassed the default battery packs for a unified power source.

Final Thoughts

Lumibricks has struck absolute gold once again with the Autumn Farmhouse! 🌾🏡

The assembly process is a masterclass in stress-free building—smooth, intuitive, and beautifully relaxing from start to finish with absolutely zero frustrating surprises. Both the rustic exterior facade and the cozy interior spaces are packed with exquisite, meticulously designed details that tell a wonderful story. 🍁✨

While the lighting scheme remains elegantly simple, it punches well above its weight, instantly wrapping the completed model in a warm, magical ambiance. 💡🎃

Why Lumibricks "The Bodega 26" is a Must-Have for your Lego City

Hey brick fans, it’s review time again!

Today, thanks to Lumibricks, we are going to look at one of their newest and most highly anticipated additions to the Street Fusion lineup: The Bodega 26 (Set 19017).

If you have been following my blog, Its Not Lego, you know that I have a massive soft spot for modular street scenery that fits perfectly into a bustling brick town layout. As many of you know, Lumibricks was originally known as Funwhole before their complete rebranding. 

Despite the name change, they continue to be the absolute pioneers of building block sets with fully integrated LED lighting systems. They don’t just slap a third-party light kit onto an existing build; they design the structures from the ground up to hide wires, route cables, and cast a cinematic, warm glow.

The corner bodega is a staple of urban street culture—a 24-hour haven for quick snacks, hot sandwiches, late-night lottery tickets, and a friendly chat with the neighborhood owner. Seeing Lumibricks tackle this distinct slice of city life on a compact scale had me incredibly eager to get my hands on it. The set officially drops on August 26, 2026, but I managed to secure an early copy to give you the full breakdown. Let’s dive straight in and see if this small build packs the flagship punch we’ve come to expect!

The Specs

Before we crack open the box, let's look at the core specifications for The Lumibricks Bodega 26:

Unboxing

The packaging is exactly what we have come to expect from premium Lumibricks releases. The box features beautiful matte-finish artwork showcasing the Bodega in a typical urban setting. A lot of people have wondered if the taxi depicted on the box is included in the set, but I'm sad to say it's not.

Inside the main box, you are greeted by parts bags, an orange packet and a colourful instruction booklet.

The parts bags are numbered 1 through 4 to correspond to the steps in the instruction manual. I counted a total of 11 numbered bags.

There are 2 extra parts bags marked S and a parts bag marked F which typically contains special bricks for the lighting elements and the lumibricks style minifigure.  Also, there is a dedicated, separate orange packet containing the delicate LED component pieces, including the proprietary thin wiring, light elements, and a CR2032 battery box (batteries not included). 

The 163 page instruction book is excellent, featuring a little blurb about Papi, the Bodega owner, his cat, and the features of the Bodega with clear and colourful instructions.

Here are the stars of the show, that pigeon is cool too!  The bodega cat and the pigeon both feature turnable heads so you can pose them any way you want.

Building the Bodega

Building the Bodega is an absolute joy, especially if you love highly detailed micro-interiors. Unlike standard modular buildings where you build the structural walls first and drop the furniture in later, Lumibricks has you assemble the vibrant interior layout right from the get-go.

Step 1 - the base

On the compact 16x24 base, every single stud of real estate is utilized with surgical precision. You start by laying down the tiled flooring and immediately building up the tiny store fixtures.

Step 2 - the interior

There is a detailed sandwich counter counter complete with a tiny coffee station, a deli counter, a cooler fridge,  rows of printed soda cans, beer bottles, and individual snack bags.

Step 3 - the walls

We placed the walls, windows and awnings for the bodega.  So many printed parts make up the awning.

Step 4 - The roof

The roof lifts right off but you can also see inside via the skylight.

The Features

The lighting and Printed Pieces

There are three points of light in the bodega, one is inside the shop.

Another is over the bodega entrance.  The sign is busy and colourful!

Lastly on the corner to light up the sign.  My wire was a bit short and couldn't reach the peg to hold the light so i just left it loose.  I wish the Papi Grocery store was backlit like the Lumibricks Barber shop sign.  Access to the rooftop is via the ladder.

More missed opportunites for more lighting could have been the 8 Down soda sign or the Deli sign.  Lots of prints though!  I like how 8 Down is a play on 7 Up.

For play and display, the rear wall swings open for easy access to the interior!

Here's a closer look at the features out front.  Love the ATM machine and the gumball machine.  Even the window glass has prints all over it adding to the realism.

Extra bonus!  The entire front wall can be removed for even more interior access, so cool!

If I had to complain about one thing, it's that the hotdogs are way too high, can just barely reach them.  I think I might have to lower the counter, Papi's getting old and accessibility is an issue.

Final Thoughts

If you are an adult fan of bricks (AFOL) looking for an evening build that you can easily finish in a single sitting without sacrificing premium detail, The Lumibricks Bodega 26 is a must-buy. Coming in at just 618 pieces, it packs a massive amount of personality, urban character, and vibrant display value into a modest footprint.

It provides an unparalleled, cozy, real-world city atmosphere that major brick brands simply do not offer in their standard line-ups. The fact that it comes packed with a custom-engineered lighting kit and 100% fully printed parts makes it an incredible value statement for your custom town layout. I highly recommend picking this up to add some authentic street fusion to your city block!

I'll give it a 4.7 out of 5 score, only because the exterior lighting wire was a bit too short, and the hotdog counter too high, otherwise  the play features like the opening back wall and removable storefront were great features!  In my opinion the lighting for this set is just ok.

Here's a look at how I integrated the Bodega into my city!  And the taxi has arrived!

Now available on the Lumibricks Amazon store and on the official Lumibricks website!
