casewindu Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 doesnt lisa get an Eiffel tower set in one of the simpsons? :-D Quote
Minifig Lecturer Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 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. Exactly, they might give us an eifel tower, a crap small one :-D That brandenberg gate looks great *y* Quote
flanker Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I say that it would be great when TLC releases some reallooking models like the Eiffel Tower. And when this number is really a set, it would be nice when they made up several national monuments, or buildings, from different country's. When they keep going on with this kind of sets they're on the right way. One more thing, it has got to be 'payful', so not that it will be that expensive as the 10179 Millennium Falcon. Let's hope this one is real!!! I say that it would be great when TLC releases some reallooking models like the Eiffel Tower.

oo7 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... :-) It's a micro-scale FACTORY set, available in the U.S. but sold out. It seems only the airport is left in the European countries. Here's the Bricklink entry. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=5526-1 it's expensive enough normally but the price has been needlessly marked up even more recently! *wacko* (usually the price is very good considering the piece count, minifig-less sets tend to be that way) Note to all unsuspecting members; don't take Lego2000 too seriously.

Zaktan of the Shadows Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I hope its not like that. if the actual building is tiny, I'll eat myself. -ZotS Quote
xwingyoda Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Well, I found a pic of the Eiffel Tower set ;-) Enjoy! Ouch that promo is really :-X It really doesn't do much justice to the magnificent "Grande Dame" ;-) 10181 is Eiffel Tower not the 10178 So it is real then ? I am so excited by this 8- Quote
Hinckley Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Well, I found a pic of the Eiffel Tower set ;-) Enjoy! -l2k- Wow! That's craptastic! :-X Quote
Hinckley Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Well that's obviously not the actual set :-P Well it's obvious now that you used this emoticon :-P I honestly thought that was it. They make some pretty dumb promotional sets at the parks. Perhaps I should read the whole topic instead of just browsing the pictures. Is there a full eiffel tower sets coming out with hundreds of pieces? Well it's obvious now that you used this emoticon :-P I honestly thought that was it.

exo attack Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 That promo is :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X *n*. The real one better be good. Quote
sam89 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I don't understand...Anyway...The 10181 set is really *n* :-X ! Like Yoda said, "It really doesn't do much justice to the magnificent "Grande Dame"". And of cours! The curves of the tower are not good. Mr. Gustave Eiffel was a great builder (I think that he would had been an AFOL if he had known LEGO...) and made a lot of work for this tower. And after some arithmetics, he found that the tower need to have a triangular form, with a bigger base and a finer point. So this is why the tower has 3 parts, the middle part making the transition between the 2 others. This tower is a great model of mechanical stability. The picture above is NOT 10181! That's some crappy little Legoland promotion set :-P Quote
vahkimetru Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I wasn't saying the tower itself looks bad, the rendering in 10181 set is terible. Quote
Hobbes Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Wow! That's craptastic! :-X Now that I've read the topic, I understand... And I assumed you were living up to your title :-D Quote
alex54 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 The picture above is NOT 10181! That's some crappy little Legoland promotion set :-P I have though that this little promotional crappy set was the 10181... Sorry! 10178 "became" 10181... Ok! Quote
Hinckley Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 And I assumed you were living up to your title :-D :-D LOL Quote
Chuck Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Sorry for all the confusion guys, but as MOST of you ( :-P ) can tell, it is was an ambassador set, which has the most 1x1 with studs on all sides than any other set. -l2k- Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I wonder how big it will be. Better not be as big as the real one. ( :-D ) -ZotS Quote
Ogel111 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 If it dosen't look like that pic. it will be nifty. X-D Quote
exo attack Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Yeah, thats a good point ZOTS. I wonder how big it will be... Quote
oo7 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Hey all, Check this out! (found by Sam89, of course) After a search on the internet, I found out that the Eiffel Tower apparently has 3600 pieces and is in dark grey. That's the second biggest set ever (behind the Falcon, of course ;-)) ! Quote
Asuka Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Now I need just a big towel to wipe away all the spittle that Quote
exo attack Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 That's the second biggest set ever (behind the Falcon, of course ) ! I hope it doesn't cost as much though! Quote
