The Growing Series of Lego Architecture: The Eiffel Tower

Previously presented by Lego, the exclusive Eiffel Tower now has a smaller version presented by the Architecture series. This version contains 321 pieces and only costs $34.99 on the online Lego shop. Compared to the previous version this one seems more legit because both sets do not have minifigures since they are not in scale. Buying a cheaper set for display is more logical so people are heading to buy this version of the Eiffel Tower. The exclusive Eiffel Tower version has retired and can be found on Ebay for $850+. This is the great thing about Lego. Once a set retires you can sell it for a much more profitable cost online to make money.

When it comes to the set itself, Architecture has done a great job in fitting lots of details on a small scale. The grill pieces give it a very nice texture of metal. It looks very realistic just like any Architecture set and does not have any playable function. It comes with a lot of elements in the same color so even if you want to break the set down for your own creations, this set would do the job since it has a variety of elements. The exterior details are neat while the path is represented by grey smooth tiles below the tower and green smooth tiles for grass. Overall a 10/10 for display purposes which would be a good idea to gift someone who like monuments or is an architect. Do not buy this for your kid because most likely they would not like it much since it has no minifigs and is quite boring to play with.
