The construction, or lack there of, makes this build extremely annoying. A great majority of this build floats and is not securely fastened. Too much pressure causing it to fall apart. Too little pressure prevents the pieces from securing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Looks amazing but not good structurally
on April 20, 2024
Posted by: Codemaster
Absolutely love this build, looks fantastic. Couple things I don’t like is the repetitive building, and the structure of it (not structured good). The repetitive building was a lot to take in with constant x2-x4 and going up to x64/x48 of certain things. Other wise it was a good building experience. The other thing that has me confused is how the structure of the build was designed. The cross-membering with the posts are not connected to the other post as well as the arches. It feels like the base could collapse at any moment. The third section of cross-membering is the pieces slide down way too easily. It should’ve had the effect of having two clips on posts like the bottom two sections or the bars should’ve connected on the opposite of the clip. Overall it looks really fantastic and the detail is superb but the repetitiveness and the structural integrity are my two concerns.

Really good… sort of.

Once built, it’s an absolute stunner! The attention to detail is amazing. The building was repetitive and tedious, although it was expected. I’ve built a lot of LEGOs, but this one, while the best looking, was the worst to build. Not to mention, incredibly fragile. All in all, it’s an amazing set… once built.

Amazing set with Quality Control Issues
on December 24, 2022
Posted by: Tony Y
Great set, but for this price I should not be getting wrong pieces multiple times. So far, bag 9 and 41 have issues, a scannable Mario tile instead of a dark tan plate with 2 studs and a 1x3 dark gray plate instead of a 1x2 dark gray plate with a bar on each side, respectively. LEGO's quality control is slipping.

Be prepared to be frustrated
on January 17, 2023
Posted by: SecretStick032
As a Lego collector and Eiffel Tower collector, I was excited. This was not a good experience though. The directions could have been better. You go through a hundred steps to go back and build an identical one. The real challenge comes with the second box. Arches do not stay up. One shake and pieces fall off. The arches fell Apart multiple times while installing. This was a boring build and too frustrating. It seems like the directions were rushed. I thought I would have a great display but when a duster breaks off pieces it is not worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Decoration Piece
on December 4, 2022
Posted by: Alexbou11239
Awesome decoration piece and worth the time spent building it! Just make sure to have a dedicated space predetermined to store it.
Like all 5000+ LEGO Pieces, this is a long and at time tedious journey. I built this piece in the span of 4 different days and spent a good chunk of each day soley focused on the LEGO. Like the Titanic and the Colesseum, the build would get monotonous and repetitive, however, this piece suffered the least amount of boredom.
Highly recommed the build to anyone with the time, money, and space!
Final complaint, would be that though there are 1:1 pictures on angling many the pieces, many of the aesthetic flairs can be too easily moved. This complaint might have more to do with my perfectionist mindset wanting each piece to be perfectly placed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

disappointing build
on February 13, 2023
Posted by: GenerousLion078
I loved almost every Lego set I have built over the last 30 years. I was excited to get this set and was extremely disappointed. Yes I expected the repetition build and that was fine. The problem was it fell apart so easy. You can't move it to it's display space because it falls apart way too easy. Unless you build it in the space you plan to showcase it or you glue it together. There's no way to "play" with it. Sorry Lego you really duped a lot of people with this terrible and expensive build.
