The new Eiffel Tower LEGO Set by the company marks its tallet set yet with 10,001 pieces and measures to be 149cm in height when it is completely built. It joins the brand's Icons series that highlight some of the legendary landmarks in history, joining the Titanic, Atari 2600, and the Roman Colosseum.
The height is custom as it is able to separate into four sections when it is being moved around. Once it is entirely assembled, it has a green space at the foundation with three observation decks, an office, and elevators as well. The peak has a spot for the French flag as a touch of pièce de résistance. The blocks are grey and silver and perfectly resemble the world landmark.
