Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower
Pros
- Tallest LEGO set ever produced — 1,499mm (4 ft 11 in)
- Iconic engineering: the four legs are built as separate sub-towers and merged
- Surprisingly good value at $0.063/piece — among the cheapest premium Icons
- Display presence that no other LEGO set in your collection will match
- 10,001 pieces with no filler — every section has its own engineering character
Cons
- You need 5 feet of vertical clearance and a structurally stable base
- Build is a 30-hour commitment minimum
- Top section is fragile during transport — once it's up, leave it up
- Box is enormous; have a plan for the empty box before it arrives
LEGO Icons Jazz Club
Pros
- Three connected venues — jazz club, pizza place, tailor's shop
- Working stage with horn quartet and pianist setup
- New Orleans-style architecture with cast-iron balconies
- Seven characters with story-rich casting (musicians, server, tailor, customers)
- Modular base — connects to the [Boutique Hotel](/reviews/boutique-hotel) and other Modular sets
Cons
- $230 is on the higher end of recent Modular MSRPs
- Cast-iron balcony work is fiddly — small pieces, tight tolerances
- Limited gritty-NOLA character (set is more polished than authentic)
