Gorgeous set
on November 30, 2022
Posted by: MessyMango072
I will start with my only personal con for this set, which is that i love jigsaw puzzles and part of that is putting them together, taking them apart, and putting them together again. I do the same thing with Legos...most of the time. I would never want to put this Eiffel tower set together again though because of how repetitious the process sometimes was. Also, it is so beautiful all put together, i would feel bad breaking it down. But the initial build, i honestly barely noticed the repetition, and even though it was repetitive, the Only tedious part in the entire build for me came with putting the rivets around the middle part of of the tower. Otherwise, i really loved this build from start to finish. Took many (30+) hours and watching it slowly come together, even when some of the parts seemed "messy" at first (i.e. they didn't click or stay firmly in position), when you see it all set up, it is a proud accomplishment. Plus, so many hours of fun and a true work of art at the end for only 630? Great value for the money! I found the process very relaxing and fun, but i can see some children or adults with shorter attention spans not liking this set and that is totally fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So Excited So Disappointed
on January 31, 2025
Posted by: FLYBOY727
Verified Purchase:No
I was extremely excited about this build. I have had a great experience thus far with all my sets.
However, again, everything was great until I finished the build. Not too long after finishing the build it started to fall apart. All the other builds that I have done, I did not have this experience. My expectations were to have a solid, sturdy product for the price that was paid. Many people suggest having glue. I agree. The bricks become loose and eventually fell apart. Trying to rebuild it again but if it falls apart again, I will disassemble it and place back in box. Keep as wasted time and money.

Awesome
on November 30, 2022
Posted by: PuzzledTable045
Definitely a set that deserves first place and amazing display piece.. to let people know that are buying this set its held up simply by beams that you make so it is not a set you want to move around allot so I would recommend picking a spot and leaving.. you can stick minifigures on it but like I said you'll be putting force on the structural build which could cause pieces to fall off so it's more of a display piece not a play piece.!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Why Oh Why Do I Love Paris
on January 8, 2023
Posted by: GloriousAvocado085
Most of the reviews here are as repetitive as the build was. But I love Paris and I loved making this model of the Eiffel Tower. It doesn't look at all Lego-y but rather looks very Eiffel Tower-y. Many have said that the Lego model is a work of art. If so, it's only because the real tower is a work of art.
I've been to Paris 4 times and to the top of the tower 3 times. On the 4th occasion, I didn't have reservations and didn't want to wait in line so I satisfied myself with climbing the 300+ steps to the first level. Even from this lowest level, the views are amazing.
When I saw this while Christmas shopping, I knew I had to treat myself to an early Christmas present. I enjoyed everything about building it--- with the possible exception of the toll that it took on my 73-year old fingers. Out of an astounding 10,001 pieces, I encountered no missing parts although there was one piece that was mangled and had to be replaced by Lego (It took around 10 days to arrive but I was able to work around it.) As a retiree who seeks out projects to work on, I loved building this despite the repetitive nature of some of the tasks.
I'm considering adding lights but am waiting to read reviews (I haven't found any so far) to compare the various 3rd party offerings. I also am worried that all the wires used will impair the model's elegant beauty and will make it less easy to separate the tower into it's 5 component parts. I'd love to hear some feedback from anyone who has installed lights on their Eiffel Tower.
I put the completed tower on a 32" round pedestal table looking out from the 15th floor at the panoramic views of the New England city where I live. It evokes strong reactions from all who have seen it.
This was my first venture into Lego-land---and perhaps my last---but I am so glad I took the journey.

Work of art

Not for everyone. Worth the price and time. Be prepared to put it in a prime spot at home or office. It can be a centerpiece anywhere you display it.

Quite the set, but……
on December 8, 2022
Posted by: Emersonthedog
I have to say I agree with this review……
‘This set is extremely repetitive, boring build. Honestly after building the first leg I wanted my money back’
But, to be fair, that’s my problem. If you don’t mind thousands and thousands of boring gray pieces (small ones at that) and an extremely repetitive build, then the product is just fine. Its an exercise in tedium for someone with way, way too much time on their hands.
So, why five stars?
Well, I’ve got to admit this is quite an impressive set. The effort that Lego put into it is incredible. So, let the thumbs down begin from the Lego cultists whose only adjective is ‘awesome’.

The Longest Build Ever
on December 10, 2022
Posted by: Shrooma
I will admit that I was excited to obtain this product due to the brick count and hight, being 6'4", I should've also taken into account the tedious repetition tolerance to build the frames.
The one drawback many lego builders hate is repetition and this set s exactly that. The time that it took me to complete this massive project is one week due repeating the build instructions for the frames and let's not forget the tedious detail on the ground, building trees and assembling the street lights.
Like with others who had difficulty assembling the different segments into the tower, I too had pieces fall off, a minor negative but it wasn't too bad. Apart from all of these minor negatives, taking a week to build this tower while asssembling the Titanic took 3-4 days, I am satisfied with the results as I always enjoy building structures that come close to my height.
As for my advice to anyone who is debating about buying/ building this set and stumbles upon my review, you are warned that this structure is similar to that of doing a Lego Art products "slow, tedious and constantly repetitive". You will want t take breaks after building each of the frames, and the base structures for each segment... trust me.
While I would say that I would recommend this set, with how detailed and repetitive it is, I would only recommend it to those who have a high tolerance, patience and delicate touch as while the frames are sturdy, you will be making a lot of adjustments to bending, twisting the supports so everything lines up correctly.
All in all, I gave this set a 3/5 due to the drawbacks when building this set, similar to that of building the Colosseum
