LEGO EIFFEL TOWER

[@lukeink2640]

this set is really cool. Lego have really been releasing some really cool sets in the past 2-3 years imo

[@alexnunes]

It is pretty crazy to see this many large sets. It makes me wonder what we'll see next.

@@alexnunes I am building the Eiffel Tower right now and once you get to Box 3 It gets fun because the height really starts to develop!

[@jasonskinner9064]

@@saulgoodmanisrealI’m late,but I’m also building the Eiffel Tower. I’m where you build the two tan bases of the tower(bags 13-14) and not even close to completing the set. But I’m still having a lot of fun building the base and I’m really excited for the finished product.

[@Peter-tv7yz]

Must be so great to be able to do these kind of thing together with your son, i am betting you guys had a lot of fun together building this enormous set. :)

[@alexnunes]

It was great fun. I love it when he gets involved with builds with me.

[@stachcraft]

I absolutley love your videos. Makes my day when you post.

[@armaanr8169]

❤I wholeheartedly agree!

[@jeannine.]

Oh wow, Incredible! Amazing - lots of hard work for you 2 to build this set. Kudos to all your hard work. The first level looks awesome! I love all the trees, etc. Just gorgeous!

[@jimstewart4542]

Really cool set. Someone should tell Paris to make the bottom of the tower like this. Would be so nice if it had gardens and places to sit 😂

[@Erikve]

Right, I had the same feeling; in the reality it's waaaay worse.

[@franlpk9587]

Another fine addition at home for hat and coat rack!

[@alexnunes]

Perfect solution!

[@joshuam6587]

I'd put it on a short coffee table, it would drive me nuts sitting on the floor.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Nice spot to put this big set 🙂👍🤩👌. Lovley 🙂.

[@danahfaren74]

Looks stunning but I would not enjoy the building experience I think. Loved the video! Always fun to watch your reviews!

[@alexnunes]

That's exactly it, Danah! It looks stunning, but that might be about where it ends. That's why I think you really need to be a big fan of the Eiffel tower to pick this up.

[@danahfaren74]

And in that price range both the building experience and the result should be top nodge. Makes me think this product is in the end for a very small group of people who have that kind of money to invest, a big enogh space to put it and like you said love the Eifel Tower enough to put up with tedious building. I dare say this is a very small group.

[@Marvidsen1973]

Cool job, and great that you and Josh are building it as a father/son thing. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰🙌🏻

[@ThrowToTheWolves]

I really like where you put the tower. But something's missing. Maybe if you put it on top of a flat piece of wood slightly wider than the tower's base, it would make a nice frame for the bottom.

[@alexnunes]

You are thinking exactly what I am thinking. I am actually lookin for a solution in the office like that, but I need to get my kid's temporary desk situation resolved first. It should look good once it is all arranged. For now this will have to do.

[@TheOtherGuys2]

I've got the older super huge Eiffel Tower set. It's ridiculously blocky, but from a distance it doesn't look too bad. It too is impossible to display. :P

[@alexnunes]

I missed out on that one. It's still a very nice set and very much a collectors item.

[@TheOtherGuys2]

@@alexnunes For sure. Sadly I don't have the space to display it. I am considering selling it though. Even missing a few parts, it's got to be worth a fair bit.

[@meliodashadeyoshi2115]

29 hour's straight working on this set due to the fact I wanted to finish it over the weekend before going back to work and having no time lol but so glad to get it done and now I can admire it!!

[@wycee20]

Ooh I love the Eiffel tower, this makes me happy. I don't think I could talk Kris into building it for me lol

[@alexnunes]

It would definitely take him some time and baby would need to wait a few years to help. Christmas is right around the corner, so...

[@brickartisan]

Great job with the build and review. Would have loved to see it in Mindyapolis but it might be too tall and heavy for the table. hehe

[@alexnunes]

It might fit where the amusement park is. Maybe! I am not about to rip it all up again, but it does have me thinking about it though.

[@tallmantoo]

@@alexnunes you are bound to rebuild the park at some point with additional rides hopefully being added😆

[@minfol]

that is one behemoth of a set

[@JMEDBRICKCLIX]

I'm still amazed the LEGO refuses to make any Eiffel Tower in it's color and only ever has used light bluish grey. I was really hoping for a realist brown or dark tan color rather than bluish grey. It's the only model I can think of that they flat out refuse to make 100% realistic with the correct color being the most basic aspect of building a world monument. Of the 7 Eiffel Towers that in sets that I know of all use the light bluish grey. It's a simple color change in the molding machine to get these parts in the correct color if they don't already exist and at $630, this needs to happen.

[@alexnunes]

They emphasized this in the instruction book, but you're right, no attempt to match the different colors of the real tower. I guess it would be different if we displayed the LEGO set against the Parisian sky. Indoors does not have that same effect.

[@SueBobChicVid]

Alex got the scoop!

[@alexnunes]

😅

[@DaMnUFo0]

I really enjoy the way you present these review videos. Looking forward to the upcoming 2023 modular review.

[@alexnunes]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I am looking forward to the new modular as well. I think we might finally get some news after Thanksgiving.

[@emiliebriggs8992]

Awesome build!!

[@vonfragyou]

I have the original Eiffel Tower Lego set. Does not look as good but the build seems to more normal build techniques. I wonder what it would look like if you took off all the decorative pieces and only had the main structure?

[@alexnunes]

It would look pretty naked for sure!

[@Craigmt12]

This set looks incredible, but the thought of all of those small pieces is soul destroying. Goodness knows where I'd display the model. It's massive!

[@Dewebje]

Well, the repetition aspect was to expect. And indeed, you have to think about that. I mean: this is not the mega figuren of Harry Potter where you build in fact the same figure twice. But you can take more time between the two. A month, a year..whatever you want. But thats not the case with this. However, the result is amazing.

[@BrickHQ]

This set is awesome! I would get the titanic first though. I wonder if it would fit in the city

[@alexnunes]

I am definitely thinking about adding it to the city. It might be a bit of an eye sore though.

[@IAmJames_Art]

I’d also love to see the weight with The Falcon and AT-AT, considering their far higher prices. I have a hunch the Falcon may still be the heaviest.

[@bricklover2258]

I still have to do the 2019 black Friday set the 1989 batmobile so I plan to build that hopefully next year. This set is nice but is not something I would get or have room for.

[@brickinamsterdam7444]

what a beaitifull set

[@testpeer]

It looks nice, the price is fair, and it's a lot of building for its price. The repetition would be a bit troublesome, just like the lack of space in my apartment

[@CaChuaTV380]

So amezing Eiffel tower

[@creeperexplodes45]

Just got mine. Looks awesome definitely not the most fun build but I will stretch it over a couple weeks to avoid the tediousness

[@ivansmith654]

What would be fun to see, and hear is how you work as a team of two! Who did what, and how you came to decide this!

[@dd_zzero6827]

Great review Alex. You are one of the most underrated reviewers of Lego out there. As for the placement of the tower. I am not sure about it. lol! Looks like you are running out of space.

[@alexnunes]

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I agree that this placement is not the best. It will not stay there for very long.

[@ChopxAnkx]

Great review 👏

[@MOTbSKULL]

It would be awesome in your city

[@ODAWW]

They need a proper Space Needle like this!

[@alexnunes]

Ah, yes they do!

[@bdonaghu]

I know this is not minifig scale, but would this fit within your city display, or would it be too tall for the table?

[@caetanolopes2766]

It's so big that goes well on a city. And if it's a city with no tall building even better cause it really recreates the view from arc de triomphe where you only see rooftops and then the giant eiffel tower.

[@alexnunes]

It would fit where the city is at its lowest and the ceiling is at its highest. So either by the port or amusement park. I am thinking about it for sure

[@gregluck6879]

Where did you purchase your great cabinets that you have your lego models displayed?

[@alexnunes]

I believe they are all from IKEA.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Hay yar Alix. It's my new Christmas treet this set lol 😆...

[@kennethsullivan2764]

I believe the reason the Titanic is more expensive is because of its demise, as the Eiffel Tower anyone can go to now. Anyone today whether a child or adult is fascinated by the Titanic, as I definitely rather spend my hard earned money on the Boat rather then a boring Tower. That's my opinion anyways. Great job Alex & Josh.👍👍👏👏

Hey from Sydney, AU. Really enjoyed this build and review, out of my price at the moment as I have the UCS Razor Crest to start. The only thing I would question is the colour, apparently the real Tower is a brown shade not grey. Anyway, cheers.

[@littlea4353]

[@domiviereinszwei2894]

Are there some issues with the dark/light ran tiles on the ground? Some appear to be darker than others. Do the production marks (sorry, i don't what the English name for it is) on the backside of the clip 1x1 plate-modified bother you?

[@michaelminton1224]

To me, I rather stick to sets that can really play around with just like kids would do and make my own MOCs of unusual landmarks exclusive to my LEGO Island.

[@scottwhibley8392]

Really cool set would love to get it but have neither the money not the space

[@AlexAfferMetallica]

So cool!!!! I want it so bad, i already have the original eiffel tower set so i dont know if ill drop $700 on this, but the details on this one are so much better and its so much taller

[@alexnunes]

That first one was pretty cool. I never got it though. It is actually way more expensive than this new one at the moment.

Great review 🙂 and yes please weigh it! I'm really interested to know if it's heavier than the Titanic which I personally measured to be 7.75 kg (17 lbs).

[@alexnunes]

Coming right up!

[@dmonsef]

How much taller is this compared to your Shmew skyscraper?

[@alexnunes]

My Shmew tower is 50 inches, so this beats it by 5 inches.

Hi

[@Erikve]

That set looks awesome, but I indeed guess it's veeery repetitive. B.t.w. Josh is really growing up now!

[@alexnunes]

Very repetitive, so glad Josh was there to help. He is almost taller than I am now. Just crazy!

[@totallyaddicted2bricks989]

Great review guys. Re the set though, I just find it ridiculous that anybody wants a Lego set of this type, this size and for such I high price. This year has been one step too far for me with these ridiculously sized and expensive sets. Yes these types of sets should exist but not in the volume Lego are spewing them out currently.

[@alexnunes]

It has been crazy seeing so many of these huge sets come out in a relatively small amount of time. Like I mentioned, I really think this will appeal to those people who love or have visited the Eiffel tower.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Repetitive build. I was thinking could yar build the same parts gifts then add them as you go along and add them to the. Non repetitive part s. Might work Alix. 14 horse build. Bricksie going to take a hole week to build his. It's a beast of a set I can cee what you saying about the Titanic is not as repetitive only the sides of the Titanic. And a much more enjoyable build.
