LEGO Eiffel Tower 10307 Is The Tallest Set Ever Made!

Tuesday, November 15th, 2022 by Brickfinder

We’ve been tracking this set since February this year and it give us great pleasure to finally be able to reveal the latest addition to the LEGO’s “monuments” line.

The Eiffel Tower 10307 could be seen as a revisit to the LEGO Eiffel Tower 10181 but there has been so many new elements and design techniques introduced that this feels like it’s own beast.

Cementing itself as the tallest LEGO set ever made, it stands at a staggering 149cm (58.5 inches) which I’m told to be only 8cm shorter than actor/comedian Kevin Hart.

One of the innovations that the designers retained was to have the tower split into four sections for ease of transport and well, cleaning.

The Eiffel Tower 10307 consists of 10,001 pcs (the 1 at the end is for the brick separator) and it is approximately a 1:300 scale of the original.

It will also have quite a lofty recommended retail price: £554.99/ €629.99 / $629.99 / 999.99 AUD / 799.99 CAD, with some comparing it to an actual plane ticket to Paris being just slightly cheaper.

 

The original LEGO Creator Eiffel Tower 10181 was the tallest LEGO structure at 108cm for a good 15 years now. I guess it is about time it beat its own record.

You can check out the gallery of images below that gives us a better idea on how big this thing really is.

FALL IN LOVE WITH THE LEGO® EIFFEL TOWER – THE TALLEST SET YET! 

15^th November 2022: The LEGO Group has today revealed its tallest build yet – the breath-taking new LEGO® Eiffel tower set. One of the world’s most recognisable landmarks, the new LEGO set will immediately transport you to the heart of Paris.

Embodying the famous landmark’s height and standout architecture, this towering LEGO set reaches a magnificent 149cm / 58inches / 4.8ft tall once built, making it the ultimate statement in brick form.

A magnificent way to add a new display piece to your home, the 10,001 piece set is designed to authentically replicate the momentous wrought iron tower – complete with the beautiful truss-work, three observation platforms, landscaping, elevators, an office at the top and a broadcast tower and the Tricolore flag at its peak. The set can also be separated into four sections, making it manageable to build, move and play with.

The Eiffel tower was constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the centrepiece of the 1889 World’s Fair.  Despite receiving initial criticism for its design, it has since become a global, cultural icon and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.

Describing the process of designing the new set, Rok Žgalin Kobe, LEGO Designer comments: “We wanted to find the ultimate LEGO expression for the engineering and architectural masterpiece that is the Eiffel tower. We followed the structural principles of the original tower as closely as the LEGO System would allow. During the build you’ll uncover interesting, novel LEGO building techniques that bring the tower’s architectural features to life in LEGO bricks. Once complete you can imagine the breath-taking feeling of standing at the top and looking across the rich history of the city of Paris. It is the perfect set for travel and architecture fans alike.”

The LEGO Eiffel Tower set is available from 25^th November 2022 via LEGO Stores and at LEGO.com/Eiffel at the recommended recommended retail price of $629.99 / €629.99 / £554.99.
