It appears to be a LEGO set that, when completed, resembles the Eiffel Tower.

And it's $630. I'd love to see a huge ass Lego Eiffel Tower in person, but I'm not paying that much

The real tower should be at least...

...three times that big!

Normally I'd agree, but then again, I just dropped 500 frickin' bucks on Rivendell, so my standards of frugality have taken a nosedive lately.

My only barrier for entry with these pricey sets is they have to be minifig-scale, I'm personally not interested in microscale / model sets. So the Eiffel Tower set was never on my radar (though I guess you could conceivably alter the top / balcony to accomodate minifigs without throwing the scale off terribly).

I tried to find a Simpsons clip of Lisa finding out that her Eiffel Tower block set is missing a piece, but I couldn't. :P

So... I'm almost afraid to know, but if this is microscale, then how tall would the minifig scale be?

Probably at least twice as big, lol. But if they were going to make a minifig-friendly Eiffel Tower, they would probably just play around with the proportions so that the viewing deck was much bigger.

Big if true.

there's one on display at Mall of America, but depending on your location that may be more than $630

Wtf is this picture? "Hey we need some more pictures for the sales page, how about we get a shot of you quickly walking away from it?"

Also is it just me or is that doorknob like really fucking tiny?
