LEGO Creator 10214: Tower Bridge

This is an ideal build to share with someone as there is a lot of duplication. My wife and I built this over a week spending a couple of hours a day. The finished product is eye catching and it makes you appreciate the finer details of the real Tower Bridge. Before purchasing it, I knew that the bags were not numbered so it made the build slightly longer but it just added to the challenge. Beware the finished item is quite large so unless you are going to break it up once completed, you need to think where you are going to display it.

Loved building this. It was a bit of a nuisance having to find the necessary pieces which were in different bags with no apparent reason. Sometimes you needed 4 of a particular brick....3 were in one bag but the 4th in another. It took ages to find some pieces!!! Not sure if Lego can arrange the pieces in a better way within the bags supplied. People with more time would be advised to do a big sorting job at the beginning. It is a super model once built...it will be sad to dismantle it. You will not be disappointed with your end product!

After reading that David Beckam had completed this model my husband was interested until he saw the price ! He was admitted to hospital in March for major operation so I decided to buy it for him. At first he was not pleased , because of the cost , but he is now completely occupied with it. This takes his mind off his illness and he has something to look forward to each day. Great success all round. I would definitely recommend this Lego model for anyone with a little bit of skill following instructions and endless patience ! Certainly helps to pass the time.

Excellent and impressive; my Grandson was well chuffed with it and really enjoyed its construction - with a little assistance from his Ma and Pa. The only disappointment was the time it took to come from Seville ! I could have driven there and back myself to collect in less time and if I had felt inclined, travelled by train even quicker. It was a poor show in my opinion when one considers the resources at Amazons disposal. We have a depot about six road miles from my front door and an international airport just fifteen minutes beyond it that receives numerous air-cargo flights both day and night. Instead we had to wait for a series of exchanges in a chain of depots with men and their white vans to do the job it seems.

This looks super - grandson will receive it at Christmas Time and I am sure that he will be very excited abd desperate to start building !!! This looks like a very complicated build but I am sure that it will be fabulous when it is finished. I would recommend this item and Amazon for the speed and efficient way in which they sent my order. Many thanks again.

I bought this for my daughter who loves legos and myself and whenever we have got her a lego set in the past is made it on the same day and it doesn't really get played with again however this was purchased just before christmas 2013 and she started in january and it still work in progress €:-) ®

First nothing wrong with the lego its self but as for the packaging I'm disgusted at the lack of any so the delivery stickers were placed directly on to the box which as a collector its a complete NO NO.So thats the only reason it has a 1 star.As for the lego its self not built it yet but i know i will love the building of it and can't wait to get underway.Let me just say this is no way anything to do with lego i have 100 or more models and this is the first i have had this happen.In future i will go back to getting the larger items from Legoshop.com

My son loves this, but the bags were not numbered which has made finding each piece difficult and, at times, a chore rather than a cherished pastime.

Und groß ist sie mit gut ein Meter Länge und fast einen halben in der Höhe :-) Der Zusammenbau hat mehrere Abende verschlungen, aber gleichzeitig viel Spaß gemacht. Dadurch, dass das die Brücke in mehrere Etagen unterteilt ist, ließ sich der Aufbau auch problemlos auf ein paar Abende aufteilen, wenn auch das Bedürfnis weiter zu bauen groß war. Die Brücke lässt sich auch mit mehrere Personen gleichzeitig zusammen bauen, einerseits wegen der zwei Türme, anderseits wegen des Aufbaus der Anleitung, welche fast immer eindeutig und gut verständlich war. Das Zusammensuchen der einzelne Teile war etwas knifflig, obwohl die Teile gut angeordnet war in separate Tütchen. Aber das Zusammensuchen darf nicht unterschätzt werden, es ist ein wesentlicher Teil des Spaßes. Und wenn die Brücke komplett zusammengebaut ist sie wirklich schön um anzusehen, da sie wirklich sehr detailreich ist, neben den Ornamenten lässt sich z.B. die innere Fahrdecke hochklappen oder mit Bus, Taxi oder Auto befahren. An einem Abbau ist dann auch nicht mehr zu denken.

★★★★★ ► Articolo : Ottimo articolo, arrivato in perfetto stato e senza segni di manomissione, colpi o schiacciamenti. ★★★★★ ► Protezione : Il box di cartone LEGO che conteneva il prodotto era più resistente della classica scatola amazon ed ha permesso all'articolo di arrivare integro senza danni. ★★★ ► Chiusura del pacco : Il pacco è stato chiuso con uno scotch diverso dal classico nastro anti-apertura in carta e nylon di amazon. Sembrava essere stato aperto e richiuso durante la spedizione, non ho capito se è stato impacchettato e spedito così dal venditore o se il corriere ci ha messo del suo. ★★★★★ ► Tempi di consegna AMAZON : se devo guardare ai tempi di consegna di amazon il pacco è arrivato nei tempi previsti, addirittura un giorno prima del previsto! ★★ ► Tempi di consegna Bartolini : Se devo giudicare bartolini è un disastro; sul sito di BRT la spedizione doveva arrivare il 12, poi dal 12 hanno messo il 13, poi dal 13 il 15 ed infine il 17 ma è arrivato il 16. Pessimo calcolo di tempistiche da parte di questo corriere che non gode di buona fama sia per come tratta i pacchi che per i tempi di consegna.

Después de leer de todo sobre los productos reacondicionados, no me pude resistir a la oferta de este modelo. Al abrir el paquete me llevé una grata sorpresa, estaba completamente nuevo y precintado, solamente en uno de los laterales había un agujero de poco más de 3cm que habían tapado con una pegatina blanca de unos 10x10cm. Como nuevo, vamos. Respecto al producto, una maravilla, me gustan los legos grandes, y aunque este set puede resultar un poco repetitivo, es enorme y montado una preciosidad. En unas 14 horas ya lo tenía montado, al principio pasas más tiempo buscando piezas que acoplando, pero al final todo se acelera. Recomiendo los reacondicionados de amazon, no hay riesgo, si está en mal estado, te devuelven el dinero y punto. este set tiene un precio de mercado de 240-250€ y salió por 141€, es una rebaja considerable.

First of would like to start by saying that I have been a Lego fan since I was at the age of 2 with their Duplo sets. Over the years I graduated from Duplo to their more complicated sets and now, 30 years later, I no longer play with Legos or buy them but I still admire them. It has been well over a decade since I have last bought a Lego set. Many of the Star Wars, Harry Potter, Creator sets seemed nice but being that I don't really "play" with Legos as I used to as a child, they never really got me interested enough to purchase them. Until I saw this Tower Bridge set. The picture of the box instantly caught my eye and after reading the details for it, I knew I had to buy it. When the box arrived, I didn't realize just how big it was! I knew there was going to be a lot of parts involved but upon opening the box, I was surprised to see just how many separate bags they were. I must admit, at first I was a bit intimidated. This for sure was going to be the biggest Lego set I have ever worked on. The build time took a total of one full day with me working on and off throughout the day. I would imagine someone who has the patience and determination could get it done in half a day, though half of the fun was building it little by little and taking a step back to admire how the build progressed. I would also imagine any child above the age of 13-14 shouldn't have too much trouble with the set as well, as long as he/she makes sure to keep track of the many pieces. I found during the build that the key is making sure you pre-sort the parts before building. Since there are just so many small pieces, you actually spend half of the time just looking for parts! I eventually started to sort out the pieces by color, relative size and piece style in small bowls and baking pans/sheets. It took me about 10 to 15 minutes to sort everything out but after doing so, I notice it made my build considerably faster. After reading some of the reviews posted, I was a bit worried at first that I too might have some pieces missing, especially since I no longer have any other Lego sets/pieces to cannibalize from. I was pleasantly surprised to find that in the end, I actually had some extra pieces left over. I went through the directions with a fine tooth comb to see if maybe I missed a step but I it looks like these are just extra pieces. The two towers can get repetitive when putting together but one great tip is to build both towers together at the same time, instead of completing one and then going back to make another. The same method could be done for the other repetitive parts of the bridge as well. The build itself isn't very challenging, as long as you follow the directions, you'll be fine. The directions are also very clear and easy to understand, just how I remember Legos to be. The directions come in three separate booklets, so you know you're in for some real building! The end result? Holly cow! Boy does it look good! I really admire how Lego was able to pull this off using much of the old Lego pieces that I am familiar with from many years ago. There are a few new pieces that I haven't seen before but they do look like pieces that could be used in other Lego sets already. The bridge looks amazing, the architecture, the attention to detail is superb (for a Lego set) and the engineering factor of how Lego was able to put together a set like this is exceptional. I am however a little disappointed in the fact that much of the interior of the tower is hollow and non-functional. It would have been even better if the interior was designed, though having only seen the real Tower Bridge from the outside, I would imagine the interior of it wouldn't be that interesting either. Then again, I could be wrong. The scale of the bridge isn't the same as the typical Lego sets so compatibility with other Lego play sets are quite limited. This surely seems more to be a display set and half of the fun really is in the build process. Despite the smaller scale, the bridge is still huge! Now I just need to find a place to display it in my house! Long story short, this set surely was an awesome build and it sure made me reminisce on my old Lego building days. It's sure worth the money and I would highly recommend it to any Lego fan, or even any bridge fans, architects, engineers, British fans out there. Lego pulled off a great one with this set and I find myself a fan again. I surely will be keeping my eye out for future Lego sets similar to this.

初め箱を持った時の重さにビックリしました。 箱を開けてみるといくつもの袋に入ったブロックに圧倒! まぁ4000ピース以上あるのも納得です。 組み立てには10時間かかっちゃいました(^。^;) 丁寧に組み立てたのでやや時間がかかりました。 全体的には小さな部品が多く組み立ては大変でしたが部品はシンプルでしたので、始めに部品を大まかに分けて組み立てるのをオススメします。 出来上がった時の達成感と外観には惚れ惚れし毎日見ているだけでも飽きません。 二つの塔に架かる橋もグッドです。 価格が高めかと思いますが、その大きさやデザインなど価格相応と思います(‘o‘)ノ 改造も出来るので、塔のてっぺんに航空障害灯にみかけてクリアの赤のブロックを取り付けるのオススメです。 個人的に言うとミニフィグが付いてればなぁーと。 あと、画像では塔は5階建てで窓があり外観からは部屋みたいに見えますが実際には塔の部分は吹き抜けで出来ています。 ここは床をつけてフィグなどを置けるようにして欲しかったです。 クリエイターシリーズのモジュール商品と組み合わせればインパクトのある街並みが出来上がりそうです☆
