LEGO Eiffel Tower REVIEW | Set 10307

[@garzilla420]

Strange comment to make, but YEARS ago I used to watch this channel back when it was legoboy productions. I would leave negative comments on those videos for no real reason other than the fact that I was just a dumb jealous kid. I truly hope that those comments were not hurtful, but that is often not the reality. I am genuinely sorry for those comments. This channel has grown so much, and is truly one of the best Lego channels on KZbin. Despite my previous actions, this is a quality channel that did not and does not deserve negativity. Excellent review as usual David, thank you for all the hard work you’ve done

Bro left hate comments all because of overpriced plastic 💀

It is absolutely insane that this exists as a set. You would only see such things on conventions or in Legoland literally a year ago.

[@AnixCo1990]

Recently built it, it’s a great set. The only thing that really bothered me about it is that it’s a lot flimsier than I thought it would be. 4.5 out of 5 overall

[@vincentperon2950]

Fun fact about the colours of the Eiffel tower. There are actually at least 3 different shades of paint used so that it looks homogenous from a distance. It's repainted every 7 years, and it takes 2 -3 years to paint it. On it's lifespan, it went through 20 paint jobs, with variations in colours depending on the period. The tower was originally red, then went to yellow / beige taints, then reddish brown in the late 40s. It's been a while now that the tower is in it's current colours but I believe the ongoing job is a bit different due to the olympic games. It was never grey though, even if this choice makes sense. Anyway this monument is one of a kind, and I'm glad to see that lego gave justice to it. Thanks for the review.

[@possiblykamino]

Dang imagine being one of the people painting it

What next? LEGO had been going crazy with these massive builds. I want another ship like a cargo ship or a cruise line!

[@joshmolinari4873]

5,000+ piece Death Star 2 or 10,000+ piece Freedom Tower for me

[@dexterdexter8208]

10,000 pc One World Trade Center would be god tier

[@ArunaUtd]

This set feels like something that belongs in a LEGO museum, it's insane you can actually buy and build this yourself. I'll probably never buy it because of the price and it wouldn't fit under my roof (I'm not about to put an artwork like this on the floor), but wow the scale and engineering in this build is something to marvel at. Just beautiful. Love that it's modular as well. What a massive upgrade on its predecessor!

[@fireinacan]

I'm the same way. I can't see myself both being able to afford this or have the space to display it before it retires. It's so impressive though!

[@joshuam6587]

standard house has 8" ceilings why can't it fit?? I will be buying this for sure for my workshop which i built 12" ceilings.

[@minheepark4896]

Then get a wood board and put it on the floor (like 1 inch thick board) and put the tower on it

[@wesleyspilly3087]

Love the wide camera shots, And the comparison with the older tower. It’s so HUGE!!

[@swanauto47]

I love how there’s a sense of power, a true presence and confidence when looking at this set. I feel like whether someone loves lego or thinks it’s a dumb thing for kids they would admire this and feel that presence regardless if they walked into a room and saw this. I’ve been watching you for over 12 years David and I really trust you as an artist when you tell about this. Thank you for building it for us!

[@Taziod]

I can't believe that not only did they engineer this set, they made it exactly 10,000 pieces (the 1 being the brick separator). That must have been just fantastic luck but brilliant none the less

[@WonkoTheSane99]

Years ago idk Lego KZbin channels were a thing but now this one is my favorite. Also, that tower is a massive work of art and as beautiful as any living room painting 🗼

[@viperson9818]

This is definitely a corner display set. Great review.

[@TopicBricks]

Where you have put it in your living room looks really natural and at home. You've convinced me to pick up this set within the next year, so thanks for great video and a well informed review!

[@adamwinn247]

The intricacies of the sets Lego come out with are just out of this world. The level of detail is making Lego bring in a lot more adult builders. Yes the cost is always a factor but the level of detail in the Eiffel Tower is just mind blowing as well as other sets. The problem is with sets they bring out that are 18+, it’s finding shelf space…great review

[@KirkPicard314]

This set is absolutely beautiful. Conflicted whether to get this or the Colosseum. Maybe a comparison video between Colosseum, Titanic, and Eiffel Tower?

[@khill348gaming8]

This over the colosseum

[@bigbo1764]

Get the colosseum, this set just released and will likely be around for 3-4 years at the minimum, I’m guessing the colosseum is going to get discontinued in a year or so. Also I think the colosseum is a bit cooler with its history in Rome, and the fact that it isn’t impracticality tall.

[@OfficiallySnek]

I can hear it in my head... Employee: "Boss, I finished designing the 5 foot LEGO Eiffel Tower! It's a whole 9,973 pieces!" Boss: "What! NO! That will simply not do! Redesign it so that it's 10,001 pieces, that way we can say that the set is over 10,000 pieces." Employee: *Sigh*

[@minheepark4896]

Yeah kinda since a stud stacked on top of a stud is used even though it has the 2 stud tall stud

[@HaayNL]

I really enjoyed building the Titanic which I didn't find very repetitive actually, to my surprise. The Titanic also fits perfectly on top of my book case in the living room, and it's a real eye catcher to visitors. But ... This Eiffel Tower, as awesome as it looks on display, is really too repetitive for me and just doesn't look like a fun build to me. And besides that, I also don't have a space available where I could actually put it on display. So in conclusion: awesome Lego set, just not for me. 🙂

[@aestheticstorm]

I found the middle section of Titanic to be a bore, especially the 1x1 builds lengthwise of the ship.

[@Catch_me_if_you_can_666]

Same here...The Titanic is an awesome display set that got a nice place in my livingroom.But the Eiffel tower is to big to put in my small appartement and I'm not a big fan of repetition, certainly when it comes to small fidgety elements.

[@colinsview]

This is artwork, it can be the center piece of any beautiful living room!

[@hyphencubed]

I'm not normally one to get vertigo but looking at the images of the tower where its looking straight up from underneath, that gives me the shivers

[@samuraibricks]

Thanks David for the great review! Like you said, this Eiffel Tower is not for everyone, but what a masterpiece it is, when compared to its predecessor. I definitely would not consider getting it, but your video helps us admire the set and make an informed decision!

[@anakinflair]

I had the choice between getting this set this weekend, or the Titanic. I've been waiting a year to build the Titanic (and I could tell how repetitive the build would be for the Eiffel Tower), so I chose that instead. And I'm glad I did. But I do plan on getting this in the next few months, because it just looks SO GOOD.

[@minheepark4896]

It’s been 4 months, did you get it yet?

[@jorgeloo3131]

You missed the Saturn Rocket 🚀 for the height comparison. Nice video

[@11Survivor]

Fun fact: The Eiffel Tower does actually have a garden beneath it, but it's not the 19th century one, and it's actually a secondary effect of the tragic terror attacks in the past, which mean that the entire base of the Eiffel tower is walled off and you have to go through security checkpoints to get in (though it is free to walk through the gardens, just not free to go up the tower itself).

[@Kyezie131]

In my opinion LEGO reviewers and enthusiasts weigh the building process WAY too high. At the end of the day you buy the set because you like the model, and it really just doesn't matter how tedious or repetitive the build was. In this case it's about the destination not the journey. I personally love building LEGO and really take my time with it so it's never grueling (although I'm sure this set is still painful). But you're building it to get a beautiful finished product.

[@chrisgee2610]

For me it's both. I love to build, but some models are just not "fancy" enough for me to display them. Still fun to build tho

[@--julian_]

@@chrisgee2610 I agree it's both

[@constellar6330]

such a great set, waaay out of my reach but still appealing because i love architecture... amazing review David!

[@davidcoulter1058]

It's a crazy set for sure, but I can't help wondering whether it needed to be that big? I feel like a model at the $200 - $250 price point may have gone down better, and would fit in more people's houses.

[@M1CMAC]

I will admit that after building the set whilst not being the best of building experiences it was not completely bad and it looks stunning

[@willberry6434]

This with a lighting kit would be insane

[@sowmyan3458]

oh yeah, that would be incredible

[@billywall7752]

Absolutely. And adding a lighting element would be easy.

[@NHCH]

Spoiler: you were right

[@arenfish]

I am going to get this set, and i'm not concerned at all about the price, nor the huge amount of space required. I have a really short table and I can fit the Eiffel tower there with my Gunship. The only thing that bothers me is we can't see that gorgeous view we saw in LEGO's website, where you could see an incredibly view via the bottom of the tower. 😭 Also forgot to add "Building process" 😃

[@Bengraziano]

I don’t think we should consider piece count when comparing the largest lego sets. Weight is a better characteristic because I’m sure the 2017 Millennium Falcon and this Eiffel Tower weigh 20 times more than the World Map set

[@TheScoundrelsCantina]

So cool we are getting a Gustavbi-Wan Kenobi minifigure!

[@abya2630]

it may be big - does not have a WOW factor, not much detail. Its basically one look and that's it, does not make me want to look again or closely at it. Its still a great display piece thou for the right collector/builder. If this was the Statue of Liberty - i could see it being a hit. The millennium falcon - i do not need to say anything else.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

It's beautiful overall. But two things bother me about the aesthetics: the very sharp break halfway between the second and third floors, and all those crossbeams and girders that don't touch the edge. Of course, it's Lego and there are constraints. But it's very noticeable.

[@QAnswer]

I finally find a good spot to fit Titanic, and now this 😂

[@xxDxxism]

buying it isnt the problem....finding a place to put this is

[@asambuilds]

I can't believe how big they made the set it feels like a Legoland model

[@benjaminlong2240]

I saw a time lapse build of this and it looked like garbage when it was completed, really sloppy with the little pieces not aligning up. THIS on the other hand, looks fantastic. Unbelievable build and review of the set David, great job 👏🏼

[@thelimesheep4324]

It feels like lego is playing a continuous game of one-up-manship with themselves on making bigger and bigger sets. It's also crazy to think this thing is taller than all of my siblings (bare in mind they are all under 10 years old but still)

[@magnuskallas]

As a follower of Lego for 3 decades, I will admit I've certain issues with some of the adult oriented builds. Price aside... In my opinion they have entered the area of true model kits, diorama building etc. and the Lego brick just doesn't cut as optimal form. Also they can't escape the uncanny, though they are touching the illusion of "realism". The theraphy of building is there, but the sets are costing more than many miniatures on the set of film production. Just my 2 cents...

[@boltbrix]

Amazing Video as always David! I really love seeing this channel get even better. Really looking forward to your next episode of building geonosis!

[@codyoxcutter]

Looking at 9:39 couldn't help but think "oh ok, so they released the 4k version of the set" 😂

[@SovietHighCommand]

the french flag on the old tower was the first french republic’s flag. ive attached baseplates and essentially bought lego french soldiers from United Bricks and put them by the tower and it looks gooooood.

[@backofthebusgroup]

next up they need to make an 11,000 piece, 2 metre tall, Burj Khalifa

[@lewishamilton.f1.44]

Tbh i hope they won.t go that route bc the burj Khalifa is even more taller then the effel tower in fact its claimed to be the tallest building ever so if they decide to make a lego set out of it i.m seriously impressed

[@rexrickard6333]

Great review ..I think over the next couple of years lego will figure out what fans actualy want in terms of "huge sets" also heres a good one if lego added 99 pieces (or you could do yourself) it would have exactly the same amount of pieces in tonnes the real eiffel tower weighs 10100 tonnes.

[@peterskorec8246]

😂 that grievous got me 😂

[@Umpireboy]

you should’ve compared it to the saturn V set

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Fantastic review. Very impressive, and though I probably could survive the build process of this masterpiece set wouldn't have any place to display it nor means to afford it. Will agree though Lego really hit a homerunner with this one.

[@broiwaslagging5592]

When you put the BookShop Modular next to the tower I was shocked! It makes it look so small!

[@ongkhuongduy3498]

They unintentionally create the next set for Lego modular without calling it that.

[@alainvillesuzanne8613]

Why? Too big? Too repetitive? No or few "real" bricks ?...

[@bigbo1764]

I wouldn’t put it past Lego to release the Statue of Liberty as human sized; whatever they decide to do with that set, it’s going to be wild; unlike the Eiffel Tower I could imagine it’ll be pretty fun to build.

[@jon9103]

[@TheInvisibleCactusYT]

Would it have been so hard for them to use 1 less brick for a clean 10,000 piece count

[@aaronkarlin3241]

But... palindrome!

[@NoahBall08]

They probably forgot about the brick seperator

[@smaks887]

I think the designer made it exactly 10,000 pieces, but just forgot that the brick separator adds to the piece count which made it 10,001

[@joshmolinari4873]

Its exactly 10,000. The extra piece is the brick seperator

[@gegessen159]

And with the separator included they can say they have a set OVER 10k instead of EXACTLY 10k pieces

[@levibrown9165]

Crazy you could get this for 80 dollars more than the hulk buster

[@rmb1]

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS

15:49 Seems like you're an extremely fast builder. The Guinness World Record for LEGO Titanic is 8 hrs 42 mins. It personally took me like 25 hrs at the very least since I was going really slowly and carefully. I wonder what the record is gonna be for this tower, but I reckon it's not gonna be much faster than you.
