Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO Make & Create Eiffel Tower 1:300
Customer Review: The Eiffel tower is not made of bricks
Summary: 1 Stars
Wow... that's awful. It looks like an early web graphic with the jaggies. Fundamentally, you cannot acheive what Eiffel did with his tower in masonry (bricks). That's the entire point of the tower; and industrial era architecture. It's a no-brainer.
If ever a project was determined to be developed in Lego's Technic system it's this tower. Technic's girder-like pieces would be perfect for reproducing the tower's members, at actual angles. But Lego can't seem to get past the concept that the Technic system is only to be used for vehicles, not buildings. This doesn't even get the color right (It's brown). I would pay this hefty pricetag for a Technics version of the Eiffel. But this? The designers who developed this kit are kidding themselves if they think the towers diagonal lines can be executed in junky analog version, patched together from orthogonal shapes, and retain any of the tower's grace or meaning.
Customer Review: 16+ no kidding
Summary: 5 Stars
Very high in detail and exceptional structural design. The durability is very good consider it's a plastic brick toy. Some reviewer compliant about is not durable after done building it, I don't agree. If you are a seasoned LEGO builder and know where to push or hold when you put together pieces so they would stick together very tight, I would say this LEGO Eiffel Tower is very sturdy. I have tested by dropped it from the table height and of course the tower break but only those little pieces (like the flag, the radio pole, and the little decorate vertical brick) the core structure still hold pretty good.
After finishing this piece make me want to buy LEGO Taj Mahal (wait for the price drop).
PS: It isn't kidding about "age 16+" on the box, building this set require lots of effort and patience (took me 14 hour to complete it).
Customer Review: A triumph in Lego engineering
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a Lego fan since I was a child and bought this product the moment I saw it. It took me and my girlfriend about 10 hours to complete. The final product is very tall (box says 42" tall, but mine measured about 45") and absolutely beautiful.
Amazingly there was not one point in the instructions that was in any way confusing. Only difficult part of building it is digging through the 3400+ pieces to find the one you need.
For years I've wished Lego would make models of real-world skyscrapers. I guess the Eiffel Tower probably falls more into the world monument category. Either way, I look forward to more world monuments and skyscrapers in the future.
Worth every penny!
Customer Review: The best Lego Set 5 Stars
I recently got the Lego Eiffel Tower.My mom said i should put this on here so, i'm 10 years old and i finished building the Lego Eiffel Tower in 1 day. The easiest section to build is the 2nd one. The 2nd and 3rd sections are pretty durable but the 1st section isn't very durable. Never try to take this somewhere by car. Pieces break off and then you lose them. Over all, this set is awesome. It is very detailed. Make shure you don't let people touch it cause that can break it to. KEEP PETS AWAY FROM IT. And NEVER let your little siblings play with it or around Following these things will keep it from breaking.Customer Review: 4 missing pieces, yet completed after receiving 4 replacement pieces from Denmark
Summary: 5 Stars
At long last, I have finally completed my Lego Eiffel Tower model yesterday. Soaring 3 and a half feet above my folding table is a thrill to watch. It took 8 months and a lot of patience to create this must-see Parisian landmark with over 3,000 plastic pieces. The only disappointment is that towards the end of constructing the top portion of this tower, I shockingly discovered last month that 4 pieces were missing. I had to temporarily halt construction as a result of this. Every piece makes a difference when constructing with Lego bricks.
