catzilla!!!!! December 30, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
My 12 year old grandson and my 7 year old grandson finished the Eiffel Tower in half a month but their cat destroyed it in a quick 5 seconds. Their cat lost 5 lives and my grandsons are now having to start it over. The cat is not allowed in the room anymore.My suggestion is to keep all wild and psycho animals away.

Well my class decided to buy this tower and give it to our French teacher. Building it together was the best part. For about 9 people it took us about 5 hours to finish. The only problem we had with this Lego set was the base. The base seemed kinda fragile to us and we had to glue the base together.
4 missing pieces, yet completed after receiving 4 replacement pieces from Denmark June 9, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
At long last, I have finally completed my Lego Eiffel Tower model yesterday. Soaring 3 and a half feet above my folding table is a thrill to watch. It took 8 months and a lot of patience to create this must-see Parisian landmark with over 3,000 plastic pieces. The only disappointment is that towards the end of constructing the top portion of this tower, I shockingly discovered last month that 4 pieces were missing. I had to temporarily halt construction as a result of this. Every piece makes a difference when constructing with Lego bricks.
Beatiful, magnificent, must I say more? June 4, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've been saving up to buy this for a long time, and now that I've got it, I couldn't be happier. Fully built, it stands 45" tall (The box says 42", but I measured it myself)!!! It was much bigger than I expected, and I had a blast. It won't fall apart as long as you don't do anything crazy to it.
Here's some tips as to when you're building it:
1. When you get it, it'll be 10 pounds, so be prepared for hauling that to wherever you're going to build it.
2. I'd say to have plenty of space. I'd suggest about 4 feet of flat space in every direction.
3. When you open it, take out all of the bags. Organize the bags into piles of bags that look the same or just about the same. I'd say that the bags are organized well. There not organized chronologically, but by piece, which is better in my opinion.
4. Lay the organized piles in a circle, with enough space in the middle for you, an instruction booklet, and 4 base plates sitting edge-to-edge.
5. Cut open the bags and NO MATTER WHAT keep all of the pieces still organized. It will be much easier to have them organized than to have a massive pile in front of you.
6. Tupperwear (spelling?) bowls are not necessary.
7. Get in the middle and start building.
8. The above technique isn't suggested if your back and neck hurt easily. If that is the case, lay the pieces out ORGANIZED THE SAME WAY on a table in a crescent shape.
9. When you finish each section, set it aside instead of building the next one on top of it.
10. When sticking pieces together, try to push it down with your thumb and push the below piece up with your index finger to keep anything from falling apart.
Mainly JUST DON'T THROW ALL OF THE PIECES INTO ONE BIG PILE!!!!!!
Have fun building!
This was a great team building project with a 16 year old April 16, 2008 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have no idea WHY purchasing this seemed like the "ideal solution" for dealing with a cantankerous adolescent but...amazingly, it worked! Instead of the "parent", I was assigned the role of "occasionally helpful assistant". I was wowed by my offspring's persistence, guidance and skill in putting this together. Meanwhile, there was some chat here and there, all appreciated (by me, at least).
It was a learning experience....and I'm not talking just about the task of finding exactly which pieces went where. That was indeed a challenge! More important? Getting outside our usual routine and doing something different. He was the seasoned Lego pro and I was the apprentice.
Some words of advice about building this truly amazing structure: it is delicate but not complicated to complete. We did have part of one level come apart, temporarily, when applying pressure to get a piece to stick. That only happened once and we upped our learning curve.
You need to pay attention to the height and width of every piece to make sure you do indeed select the exact...right..piece... and the drawings and instruction booklets could have had more details, although my son didn't find them impossible to follow. I have no idea why the pieces aren't sorted so that you can find them when you come to the next step of the directions...but they aren't.
There are three books of directions for this one. It doesn't come together quickly and having a partner sure helped when piecing together some of the more delicate and flimsy sections.
It actually looks nice when displayed too! I don't think I could have done this on my own.
