Icons Eiffelturm Paris (10307)

Product Information

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!

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 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. Real Value [4]– It’s expensive but good value, especially if you factor in the Eiffel Apartment GWP When seen in the context of the larger model, you can plainly see that each corner of this module is another parallelepiped, but with a steeper angle than the previous module. I have made the editorial decision to not bother with step-by-step photos for the four corners of the module, since the building techniques are nearly identical to bags 19-28 which we already covered in detail. On the inside are plenty of fun facts about the history of the Eiffel Tower, and Gustave Eiffel who was primarily responsible for bringing it to life (although he didn’t contribute the design!), and how this 324m wrought-iron marvel came about and ultimately became one of Europe’s most well-known landmarks.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! Even just trying to carry the box into the house gave me a lot more information about the scope of this set. The box is very heavy and very large. I couldn’t tell for sure without measuring it, but it seems slightly larger than the massive Millennium Falcon set. I did take the Rok Zgalin Kobe’s advice (I’ll share my interview with him soon!), and had a few Eiffel Tower documentaries, videos and podcasts prepared for the build. These red and yellow lifts, which you may remember from the original 10181 Eiffel Tower also make a welcome return! A build like no other – Get ready to break records with this LEGO Eiffel tower model set for adults. Standing at almost 5 feet tall and with 10,001 pieces, it’s a collectible piece to cherish forever

Over the next 11 bags, we build the second removeable module of our growing Eiffel Tower model. The next module has the shape of a pyramid with the top cut off, which is called an Frustum. (I’m continuing to use this article to teach the names of obscure geometric shapes — Enjoy!) Set the scene – Take your time crafting the Esplanade, where ground-level details include Parisian lamp posts, benches, trees and shrubs 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. And for a better frame of reference that hopefully more people can relate with, here it is next to the LEGO 92176 NASA Apollo Saturn which is just over 100cm tall. November 2022: The LEGO Group has today revealed its tallest build yet – the breath-taking new LEGO® Eiffel tower set. One of the world’s most recognisable landmarks, the new LEGO set will immediately transport you to the heart of Paris.

Closing Thoughts

The Eiffel Tower combines different looks from different eras that amalgamate in what designer Rok Zgalin Kobe feels is the “ideal” image and vision of the Eiffel Tower. It’s not every day that LEGO crosses the 10,000-piece mark, or gives us a model that’s almost 1.5 metres (4.8 feet) tall, but that day has arrived with 10307 Eiffel Tower, one of LEGO’s most ambitious and impressive models to date. And because it’s so large, it’s also really satisfying seeing this incredible structure take shape in front of your very eyes. 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.

A gift for travel and history lovers – This LEGO set is part of a range of building sets designed for adult building fans who love iconic monuments, stunning design and elegant architecture 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 The real Eiffel Tower took just over 2 years to build, and was slightly delayed for the opening of the 10th Exposition Universelle (World Fair) in 1889 of which it had been commissioned for, so 15 hours+ of solo building isn’t too bad.Ready for an awe-inspiring challenge? Standing at almost 5 feet tall, the LEGO Eiffel tower (10307) set for adults is the flagship model in the LEGO Travel & History series. And it’s not just one of the tallest LEGO sets ever, it’s got one of the largest piece counts too – with 10,001 pieces for an immersive experience from start to finish. It also makes a top gift idea for travel or history lovers. Completing a smooth base is one of the first milestones in every LEGO Architecture model, which is why I was looking forward to completing bags 9+10. The last four holes in the base are covered by four more 16×16 x 2/3 Road Tiles (part 69958) in 330 Olive Green. The rest of the studded gaps are finally covered with a lot more tiles, and 1×2 tiles in 192 Reddish Brown which I believe are meant to represent park benches. A magnificent way to add a new display piece to your home, the 10,001 piece set is designed to authentically replicate the momentous wrought iron tower – complete with the beautiful truss-work, three observation platforms, landscaping, elevators, an office at the top and a broadcast tower and the Tricolore flag at its peak. The set can also be separated into four sections, making it manageable to build, move and play with. Includes collectible booklet containing information about the design, architecture and history of the building
