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 KZread. 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

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

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.

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!

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

This is definitely a corner display set. Great review.

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

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

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!

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!

Years ago idk Lego KZread 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 🗼

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.

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!

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

Thanks for the honest and great review. Thanks for always keeping it real

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

Really well done video! So in depth and informative thanks man 💯💯

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).

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.

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

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. 🙂

This is such a beautiful piece and the design is phenomenal. One of the few that I would actually like to own.

Wow what awesome set. Compliments and thnx for the detailed review, and the comparison with the 2007-tower

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.

It looks beautiful. I love it. Repetitive work means it is a perfect set for an office team building event 😄

Another great video and review! You have the best Lego vids on KZread😄

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

Amazing review. Amazing camera work

Wow! That would be so much fun to build!

looking forward to see what crazy lighting Lightmybricks guys with come up with. Especially the lighthouse style motorised dual-light beam at the top of thi tower

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

I have to get this. I missed out on the previous version and haven’t been able to get it. So I will certainly get this one. No idea where to put it yet though!

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.

Oh my god this is a behemoth! If it wasn't for me having just bought the lion knights castle, I would definitely get my hand on this one.

Three videos in One day! I love it!!

great review, I think I’ll buy this

This set plus a light kit would look soo good

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

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)

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...

Love it, great review

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.

good review .and i love the eiffel tower (been up it a few times) ,but more tempted by the cocorde.

Great video but I would have loved to see a comparison with the Saturn V rocket. At 1 metre tall it's the closest set to get an idea about the height of the Eifel Tower.

I really enjoyed watching this review!

This set looks really great! I'd probably buy it right away if I only had the space for it.

I recently bought the Titanic one and can't wait until it arrives! I want the Eiffel Tower too. It's gonna be funny putting it together and finding it to be 5 inches shorter than me. 😂

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.

“They will drop their….jaw” 😂 great review!

Get the At Walker climbing it and a biplane that flies in circles being attached to the top of the tower

This is a great review as I am contemplating purchasing this in the near future. It's great how you are not biased and actually point out some negative aspects. I went to LEGO's website and read some of the reviews and had to laugh. The 1-star reviews could not complain enough about how repetitive the build was. DUH! If they looked at a photo of the Eiffel Tower they'd be able to deduce that a LEGO build, or any build of this structure, would be highly repetitive. I'm glad you did not harp on that point. Yep, it's repetitive, but it's LEGO. Thanks for the review.

I would love to see a comparison of this next to the tower or orthanc

I was just here to see how big the box was. My favourite thing to do is get large Lego just to watch people faces at the boxes before I even open them

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

Nice

This should be compared to titanic they are both great sets!

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" 😃

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.

would love this

I just finished box 2 and my fingers hurt like crazy the steps with like 150 and 120 small circles almost made me go insane.

Just need to see the comparison between this and colloseum

This looks amazing. I am curious to know what it looks like compared to the daily bugle

this is an exciting review

10:47 I actually have that grievous set🤣LOL! Though it is in a massive state of disrepair.

Great review, I really like the pro‘s and con‘s which seem to be pretty reasonable for me. And probably I‘m now exactly the kind of person who is addressed with this set, DAMN 😂💸 but the most important thing: how BEAUTIFUL is your living room and the area you‘re living. Is it in the woods?! I‘m just falling in love every time I see what‘s behind your windows. Seems to be absolute amazing place, enjoy it :)

Idk if they’ve already made it, but I bet they will make a Big Ben set as the next one like this

I'm so, so, so very tempted...... Will most likely see it in store and then decide between this or Titanic, which seems to finally be consistently in stock.... Quick question, what is the name of the IKEA shelving you use??

Amazing to see Legos be for kids to now have many sets marketed towards adults.

You should put the new Eiffel Tower on the opposite corner of the room from the old one, I think that would be pretty cool!

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.

They should start doing this with buildings like the burj Khalifa, empire state building, space needle, etc. That'd be really awesome.
