Gorgeous set

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.
First off, this Lego set is extremely large! Which is awesome! I really enjoyed the build and is a very accurate and stable Lego model of the Eiffel Tower! I would 100% recommend this Lego set. The price is also pretty fair in my opinion. I hope everyone else enjoys building this set as much as I did!
This is one of, if not the most spectacular looking lego builds I’ve ever done. The attention to detail, scaling and miniaturization of its real life counterpart is readily apparent when the final structure is finished. First, I would like to say how much I personally appreciate how this set is in line size wise with the Titanic and Statue of Liberty. Putting them all three together, one can truly appreciate how they relate to one another in the real world.
Yes, it is true that this build is repetitive. I think this horse has been beat to death on YouTube reviews and on other reviews on here. I believe that this repetitiveness represents the repetitive nature of this and many other architectural landmarks across the globe. It comes with the territory. If one wants to build this for the experience, you may find other sets you will enjoy building more. But I will wager that when they are finished, they will not be as nearly polished, pristine and elegant looking as this model.
In short, you have to ask yourself, why are you building Lego? If you’re building this for the looks, and the finished product (which is stunning) go for it. Put on some music and enjoy your building experience. If you’re looking for a non-repetitive building experience and are less worried about the finished product, you may find this build daunting. Personally, I believe sometimes you can’t have one without the other. Lego took a risk here and it payed off with its target audience.
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.!!
LOVE this set so much, as expected it was very very repetitive. Lego took this thing all the way and it shows. Very cool building techniques, when you buy this expect to do things over and over and over again but in the end the final product is absolutely stunning. A must have for any true Lego collector. (Makes a good Christmas tree lol)
I'm sure you're asking is it repetitive? And the answer is yes BUT it's not as irritating as you think it will be. I built this set over a period of 3 days and I honestly didn't find the repetition bothersome at all. And as someone who built the colosseum and found the holding process to be extremely dull I was pleasantly surprised by this set. It's not nearly as bad some reviewers on YouTube has suggested. BUT this is my personal experience and everyone is different. However even if you do find it extremely dull to buil you are left with one of if not THEost beautiful set in Lego history. Plus the size of it makes it an excellent conversation piece. Overall I am extremely happy with this set.
