The Eiffel Tower Comes to Life with 10,001 Piece LEGO Set

LEGO wants fans to bring the architecture of France home with their newest LEGO Ideas set. Forget the plane tickets; the Eiffel Tower comes home with this massive 10,001-piece construction set. When fully built, the tower stands a whopping 58" tall and 22.5" wide, and it comes together in 4 parts. LEGO went all in with this set and even featured a similar conduction style to the way the real Eiffel Tower was built. This not only makes this a remarkable set but a fun history lesson about Gustave Eiffel's engineering all in one. Impressive true-to-life details are packed throughout the set, including the greenery under the tower, observation platforms, as well as the broadcast tower, elevators, and the French Flag is the cherry on the top. A set like this is designed with more adult master builders in mind and comes in at a whopping $629.99. Pre-orders are set to go live on November 25, 2022, and the Eiffel Tower can be found right here.
