Wonderfully Engineered Lego Model

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.
The second thing I liked was getting all the neat lego pieces for my collection. There are tons of good, unusual colors, and dozens to hundreds of copies of many of the pieces. This makes the pieces right for all kinds of other buildings and castles, and whatever you can dream up.
I was able to get this from Amazon at retail ($239.00). Be careful you do not pay more, as many lego sellers here will charge 30-100% over retail if you just order without checking elsewhere. Unfortunate, but you cannot just buy lego from Amazon without checking.

WOW!!! look at all the little pieces

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 about the bridge out there to
Build and have fun
3/30/11 FINISHED
ok, some of the downsides.
the towers are hollow. kinda sad. i wish it looked like the real bridge from the inside too
some of the window frames don't have windows
i am MISSING two pieces. fortunately, the 1-800 customer servise number brings you to very nice and VERY halpful lego reps that will send you any and all pieces missing from any set. i have now used hem three times

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.
Very good build, nothing too hard, just lots of little parts. Very good value for the money, this set is often on sale on Amazon.com and I picked it up for $225, but even for $239 it is a steal. I can see this going up in value the way 10189 did given the impressive parts count.
That being said, don't let the brick count fool you, this box is half as big as the 10188 Death Star box, the bricks are all very small, over 500 1x1 tan cheese bricks alone, so it isn't that big or heavy once built, but it is long and impressive to guests.
Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat, without a doubt, this is a very cool set, and the price is very reasonable!
