Icons Eiffelturm Paris (10307)

Product Information

Real Value [4]– It’s expensive but good value, especially if you factor in the Eiffel Apartment GWP The aesthetics, size and how accurate it looks are really secondary to me, and that it stands so well constructed pleases me to no end. NOTE: Bags 51, 54, 57, 59, 64, 67, 71-74 were found inside of the smaller white box (6418327) rather than loose inside of Box #3 (like the rest of the bags). I do not know why they did this only for just one of the three boxes. Bags 41 – 51: Frustum-shaped central module The downward force is distributed evenly between all four legs (which fun fact, points to the four cardinal directions), is just so cool to behold, and a great lesson on LEGO engineering. That said, on the fist platform, you’ll notice plenty of these repetitive patterns, which aren’t necessarily fun to build, but are really aesthetically pleasing.

On the sides of the Eiffel Tower, 72names of French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians are engraved in recognition of their contributions, and they’re represented here by the dark grey “gold bar element”, with 18 on each side! Faithful geometry – This 360° model closely follows the real Eiffel tower’s decor with arches, supports, cross bracing, railings and even a faithful view when looking up from beneath From the first bag, I was captured and hooked, and the anticipation in seeing this massive model come together was very enjoyable, and a testament to Rok Zgalin Kobe’s immense talent and efforts. And because it’s so large, it’s also really satisfying seeing this incredible structure take shape in front of your very eyes.Ascend the tower – Head skyward as you assemble the 4 plinths, 3 observation platforms, lifts with cabling, Gustave Eiffel’s private office at the top and broadcast tower medium unmarked bag: containing 6x – 8×8 plates with grille (part 4151) in 199 Dark Stone Grey Dark Bluish Gray.

In North America, it will be available starting at midnight on the east coast, which means 9:00pm on November 24th (Thanksgiving) if you live on the west coast like I do. First Impressions It would be even cooler if the build process mirrors how the actual building was built in some way. I do not know whether a central support structure was employed or not, but I hope we learn detailed information about the real building in the building instructions. Repetition and these intricate iron-wrought lattice that make the Eiffel Tower’s aesthetics so iconic draw the eye in, and the techniques employed to create this effect is simple, yet effective. Fun fact, the Eiffel Tower was meant to be disassembled after 20 years following the Exposition Universelle in 1889, but Gustave was a savvy and cunning operator, and managed to keep the tower intact by making it host scientific experiments, as well as radio antenna, which the French military found useful, and they decided to extend the life of the Eiffel Tower, and it ultimately stands to this day.The Eiffel Tower is split up into 3 main sections, and each box is fully self-contained, so this is technically a “Build Together” set, and you can share the joy of building with up to 2 other friends, which I recommend as it drastically cut down the build time, and mount of repetition by sharing the load. Eiffel Tower was such a pleasant surprise, and I liked it a lot more than I initially thought I would. After seeing it in person in Billund, I was of course impressed by the height and scale, but came away fearing that the build would be bland, torturous and repetitive. Here’s a look at the second platform, where you’ll notice the use of new dark grey sausages for the arcs. Set the scene – Take your time crafting the Esplanade, where ground-level details include Parisian lamp posts, benches, trees and shrubs medium unmarked bag: containing 8x – 8×8 plates with grille (part 4151) in 199 Dark Stone Grey Dark Bluish Gray.

The box is absolutely huge and features the 18+ / ‘Adults Welcome’ branding along the bottom edge — which seems very appropriate for size of this scale. The color of that band is 199 Dark Stone Grey Dark Bluish Gray, which makes sense since almost every piece inside the box is in that color! The Eiffel Tower narrows as it approaches the pinnacle, and here is the Top Platform, which among other things contains Gustave Eiffel’s apartment, offering commanding views of Paris. This light kit features a sky-high individual count of 289 LEDs. Including 11 Light Strings, that each contain 15 Large Warm White LEDs, creating the classic, dazzling and authentic hourly light show the world-famous landmark is known for - once connected to our Sparkling Effects Board of course! Just like the original construction, this collectible model is assembled in 4 sections. The process closely follows the way the real tower was built, giving you a unique insight into Gustave Eiffel’s engineering brilliance. Discover true-to-life details throughout, including landscaping, 3 observation platforms, lifts and a broadcast tower, topped off with the French flag. Travel somewhere new with LEGO sets for adults.

The end result is stunning, one of the most awe-inspiring retail models that LEGO has ever produced. Seriously, if you were to see 10307 Eiffel Tower at a LEGO Fan Convention, you’d walk away impressed and awed, so being able to translate that into a set you can walk into a store to buy, AND make it accessible, even for new adult builders cannot be overstated. This clearly isn’t the case, and a lot of effort has been put into the building experience to make it quite intuitive, seamless and as pain-free as possible. While it suffers from a high price-per-part, this is a physically large set with really fun play features. There are about 12 parts that come in quantities in excess of 100, including 704x of the badly damaged 1×1 clip mentioned below, and a potentially ‘evil’ 666x 1×6 plates. Naturally, almost all of these high-volume parts are 199 Dark Stone Grey Dark Bluish Gray. The exception is 1×1 Round w/ 5 petals (part 24866) which you get in large quantities in both 37 Bright Green and 28 Dark Green Green. Injection Moulding Quality Issues
