Product Description
Build London's famous Tower Bridge! Stretching over the River Thames since 1894, the famous Tower Bridge of London, England is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. Now you can add this timeless classic to your LEGO world buildings collection! Designed with advanced building techniques and rare colors and elements, the Tower Bridge is complete with its iconic paired towers and a drawbridge that really opens. Fun to build and display, it locks together solidly but can be taken apart in sections for easy transport. Includes four miniature vehicles: a black London taxi, a traditional red double-decker bus, a yellow truck and a green automobile. Completed model measures 40 in (102 cm) long, 17 in (45 cm) high and 10 in (26 cm) wide.

To be able to understand why LEGO has been successful for so long, just look to the name. LEGO originally got its name from founder Ole Kirk Christiansen who combed the Danish words "Leg Got" which means "play well". He later realized that LEGO in Latin translates to "I put together." The LEGO set became a standard of creative play for children worldwide, unlocking the creativity to build vehicles, buildings, cities and more. Historians point to the invention of the wheel as a major turning point in world history. The invention of the LEGO wheel had the same monumental effect in the history of LEGO, making it possible to create cars, trucks and eventually the LEGO train building set that is one of the most successful LEGO sets of all time. LEGO currently produces about 20 billion LEGO bricks a year and has sold over 400 billion LEGOs in their history -- enough for every person on the planet to have over 60 LEGOs each!

Comments about LEGO Creator Tower Bridge (10214):

This is beautiful when assembled. However, I feel it's overpriced! It's intended for ages 14 -16, my 14 yr old put it together within a few hours, lot of money for not enough challenge!

Comments about LEGO Creator Tower Bridge (10214):

First the good: I spent about a week of evenings putting this together with my wife. It's a pretty fun build and works great with two people because you can each work on a tower simultaneously. The set has a huge variety of pieces and packs a lot of detail into the model.And now the bad: Then came time to move it from the coffee table to the office. Well, the outer bridge sections come away easy enough, but the walkways lock the two towers together, so I tried picking up both towers together with disastrous results. The whole thing simply disintegrated in my hands on the way. Sorting through the aftermath, I found that over 200 of the 1x1 slopes had split down the middle. Fortunatley, LEGO customer service is fantastic and they repleced them for me.So there are two fundamental problems with this model: 1) The structural integrity is terrible, and for something as straightforward as a tower, this seems kind of silly. 2) It lacks a straightforward modular design that would allow you to separate the towers so you can more securely move it in sections.I did get some parts from [@] to modify the walkways. Now I can easily separate the bridge sections and walkways from the towers. It's such an obvious design flaw that I'm surprised this thing made it past quality assurance.Bottom line: I do not recommend this set. If you do get it, you'll want to disassemble the walkways and pull the towers apart before moving it from your build surface to wherever you want to display it.

Comments about LEGO Creator Tower Bridge (10214):

I spent a week putting this set together with my wife. A pretty fun build, but it's not very solidly designed.

The outher bridges are easy to remove from the center of the model, but the two towers and middle bridge sections are not designed modularly, and when I tried to move it, the whole thing fell apart. During the catastrophe, many of the 1x1 slopes split right down the middle. Fortunately, LEGO has fantastic customer service and replaced the broken pieces.

The worst part about that was that it was totally unnecessary. A more modular build would have avoided the whole situation. I modded the set so that I can separate the towers from the bridge sections and move them one at a time.

Poor Shiiping Cartons

By L

from Wilton, NY

Comments about LEGO Creator Tower Bridge (10214):

Lego products are perfect. However, I was not happy with the shipping materials used in any the three Lego sets delivered to me. The Lego box was placed in a loose pitting outer cardboard box with a small buffer of filler. The Lego box was, to no surprise, damaged during shipment and had to be replaced. Considering the vendor I assumed that items purchased would have been better packed.
