LEGOArchitecture The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Discontinued by manufacturer)

Much smaller than other Lego sets. Not worth the $.

You have come a long way into my life. I first saw you on the back of Cheese box. Velveeta Cheese box. You had to collect box tops and send off about $2.00. That was a small fortune. Some how my Father did it. Velveeta was a special meal.Farm living did not and still does not put a lot of change in your pocket.Though many years from the farm Lego has been a constant since having my Sons. They have loved Lego Bricks as much as I did at first sight.The Leaning Tower of Pisa is awesome. I am rearranging the collection. The Leaning Tower of Pisa joined the "The White House", "The Empire State Building", "Big Ben", " The Willis Tower" , "Burj Khalifa Dubai 21008", "The Rockefeller Center" , " The Seattle Space Needle" and "The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum".All have and are a great presence in Our Lives. Always a great joy!

I bought this as a gift for my nephew per his request, and he was pleased with it. I have to say he assembled it very quickly (he's a tween) and it did not appear to be very challenging, but I'm not a Lego builder and perhaps he's just quicker than the average builder. Also wanted to mention that scale on these seems to be non-existent as he also received the Empire State Building from the same line and side by side with the Pisa build it is tiny. I wasn't expecting them to be at a precise scale to the original, but to at least have them be to scale with each other would have been nice.

This kit was assembled quickly and it's fascinating to see how the designers incorporated the famous tilt at the base. Though not extremely detailed, it does look close enough to the real thing to stand as an exhibit and memento.

Where to start...this lego set took me straight back to my childhood days of building legos. It is a pretty crafty design and was fun to build. It won't take long to finish and is fairly uncomplicated so I would recommend this set for any level of lego builders. The set comes with a lego removal tool that can come in handy throughout the build, directions, as well as a brief history of the tower. I also enjoyed the random facts scattered throughout the directions. This tower is everything I expected it to be.
