Lego has earned a reputation as a somewhat pricey but very dependable toy. Lego is very well built, so you always end up with a model that looks like the picture on the box.

This model was a great build. Three instruction books were very easy to follow. So many pieces (over 4000) and building two identical bridge towers made this somewhat tedious at times. Great model for adults or older children. However, a kid with a good attention span can do the model, at least down to about ten years or so. Younger, & might need some help.

There are two things I particularly liked about the London Tower Bridge model. First, it has wonderful detail. It was fun to stop while building it just to admire the decorations as it was being constructed. Great engineering meant it went together as expected, all pieces fit, and the final result is a showpiece worthy of your living room coffee table. At 40" long, it is just about large enough to fill most coffee tables... Read more

jeeeezzzzz, i am about MAYBE a third of the way done as of right now, so i can't say how it is going to turn out when done. I just wanted to say it is a really nice lego set to add to my model collection.

there are a TON of tiny pieces here. it could have been cut down to half as many overall if lego had made special pieces for it. of course, then, it wouldn't look like a masonary bridge

you get almost every color lego makes: black, two shades of greay, brown, two shades of blue, biege, and even some red, yellow, and a couple green pieces.

there are THREE books (yeah three) and they are very detailed. not to worry that you will put something where it doesn't belong (the brown on brown imperial flag ship comes to mind. but i still love that one).

when complete there are two cars a truck and a double decker bus to drive across. i googled "london tower brdge" to get a look at what it REALLY looks like and it is very close. a lot of great facts... Read more

Wow, what a build... Took about a week on and off to put together, lots of fun!

The bags are not numbered, but searching for bricks is part of the fun in my view. If you like the newer modular building sets where the bags are numbered, this will drive you nuts.

Pros
Impressive number of parts
Great colors, really looks like the real thing
Easy to put together
Looks amazing once built
Great value for the money

Cons
No numbered bags
500+ 1x1 tan cheese tiles
Not much to do with it once built
The towers are a 2x build

The biggest downside is that the two towers, while impressive, are just copies of each other, so you're doing a 2x build. You can either build them one at a time to enjoy the process more, or do them together, in which case it will be done faster. I did them one at a time and was surprised how much faster the second tower went, because I knew what to expect, it just flew together... Read more
