legomilk Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Hi everybody! I heard a rumor that 10178 is going to be a set of the eiffel tower, is there someone with more information to verify or contradict that rumor. Quote

phoinix Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 oh please lego stop!!! i dont have any more money!!! this sounds very promising! i think we did hear that lego was going to make a line with world famous buildings.. cant wait to see it!! i hope the parthenon is next!!! *y* Quote
CopMike Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Maybe this is one: Eiffel Tower by Eric Harshbarger Hopefully a bit smaller and in grey colours. *yoda* - are you getting a couple or what :-D! Eiffel On copmike Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Eiffel tower? Sounds promising. If its really expensive though, I won't buy it. -ZotS Quote
snefroe Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 it sounds to me like a good source for grey parts *sweet* Quote
Optimax X Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Sounds interesting- it will be an impressive model, that's for sure. it's probably going to be really big and expensive, so i won't get it. Quote
Shine Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Sounds like rubbish, I doubt Lego would make a set that relates to a specific nation. Quote
oo7 Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Sounds like rubbish, I doubt Lego would make a set that relates to a specific nation. Lego had released two sets that have NYC written all over them. The Ninja sets also seem pretty nationaly limited. I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see this sometime soon. Quote
Holodoc Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Sounds like rubbish, I doubt Lego would make a set that relates to a specific nation. If they plan one building for every nation... :-D For Germany something like this for example: But it Quote
phoinix Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 can i hope for a Greek temple? :-P or an ancient amphitheater?? Quote
gylman Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I can't imagine an acceptably sized, decent looking Eifel tower without too much Technic in it. A brick built version would be too big. Now, from what I recall, Legomilk usually has the goods.... so that's the only thing that makes me hting this could be true. Quote
Shine Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Lego had released two sets that have NYC written all over them. The Ninja sets also seem pretty nationally limited. I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see this sometime soon. Yes, but most of Lego's fan base in in the US. Quote
simonwillems Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Hopefully a bit smaller and in grey colours. *yoda* - are you getting a couple or what :-D!copmike Grey colours? The original Eiffel Tower is brown (last time I was in Paris it was). I like the idea of having a Lego Eiffel Tower though, I hope it's not too expensive however. Quote
exo attack Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I onder what size it will be. And TLC, PLEASE don't use the technid axles and bent connecters! Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Seeing the new trend, I wouldn't be surprised if that was true ;-) TLC is currently marketing the AFOL community in a much broader way than before !! Before, it was more or less (with a couple exceptions of course) only Star Wars UCS sets !! What do we have in '07 ? That train Factory and that Cafe Corner !! Way more exclusives sets designed for a more mature audience 8- Quote
sam89 Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 I reckon TLC will use light or dark grey. They may not be entirely accurate, but I think most people think of the Eiffel Tower as being grey ;-) Quote
casewindu Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 BIG BEN!!!!! BIG BEN!!!!!! TOWER BRIDGE!!!!!!! TOWER BRIDGE!!!!! i think it would be good (and i have always though this) if you could get a set of a landmark in the like airport of that country! and it would like be exclusive to that country! eg say that you go to england and when you are flying home you could bag yourself a london cab lego at the airport!

alex54 Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Yes, but most of Lego's fan base in in the US. Don't agree! You're at EURObricks! The "Grande Dame" (Big Maiden) is a 324 meters high beauty, a total weight of 10.100 tons made of 18,038 pieces of steel and 2,500,000 rivets 8- Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Nice, an Eiffel tower! Just hope that she will be more beautifull than the gray one we see in your TRU...My gran aunt has a mine in her garden, where some steel was extract for the tower and the arm of the statue of liberty. Yes, the steel come from my area, the "Lorraine" :-D looool definitly Alex, the TRU one is way too Technic for my taste and is way to big to be commercialised :-P French pride all the way !! OOps, Lorraine pride all the way ;-) Bring the Eifflm Tower TLC !! *yoda* Quote
Chuck Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Well, I found a pic of the Eiffel Tower set ;-) Enjoy! -l2k- Quote
rexcal Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Could you give me some more information on this set, please? I haven't known about this one before and it looks interesting... :-) Quote
