Tower Bridge

Detailed ratings

In-depth review analysis

Tower Bridge 21067 offers a new interpretation of the London landmark in the LEGO Architecture range. Reviewers describe a 3,745-piece model that is more compact than the 2010 Creator Expert 10214 set. Brickonaute gives dimensions of 89 cm wide, 35 cm high and 19 cm deep: even though it is smaller than its predecessor, it still has a considerable horizontal presence. The question is not only whether this new version succeeds in representing its subject, but also whether its improvements justify the price for those already familiar with the older one.

The available opinions on its appearance are favourable. Brick Architect immediately notices brighter colours than on the first model and considers this version a significant improvement. The Earl of Bricks appreciates the instantly recognisable silhouette and the way the model’s width benefits its presentation. Brickonaute praises the polished finish, particularly the printed tiles and absence of stickers. New Elementary details the new window and coat-of-arms prints, which contribute to the bridge’s architectural identity.

The Earl of Bricks also highlights the lifting roadway: being able to raise it gives the model an extra dimension compared with a purely static replica. The outlet appreciates the moment when the mechanism is installed and then operated. These observations concern the appeal of the feature and its assembly; they are not enough to establish its long-term durability.

Symmetry shapes much of the assembly. Brick Architect explains that the first eight bags build one side, and the next eight repeat the work exactly for the other. The two halves are then connected. New Elementary also notes the repetition and describes, among other stages, the construction of the roadway and the arches at the bases of the towers. Brick Architect likes the triangular supports beneath the roadway, seeing them as a convincing nod to the bridge’s structure.

This organisation does not produce the same experience for everyone, however. Brickonaute describes a relaxing but distinctly repetitive build. TheBrickBlogger also calls the build relaxed and relatively quick for its size, while acknowledging that repeating elements can become tedious and that the set may disappoint those seeking difficulty. By contrast, The Earl of Bricks enjoys the rhythm created by the two towers: a technique learned on the first is immediately reinforced on the second. The choice therefore partly depends on each builder’s tolerance for repeated sequences.

Information about the instructions is more limited. Brick Architect says that a large booklet explains the main stages. TheBrickBlogger observes that the instructions make use of symmetry while separately detailing the tops of both towers. Brick Blog – Der LEGO Blog considers them clear and appreciates the numbered bags. These points are positive, but too brief to support a robust rating for the instructions as a whole.

Structural strength is also insufficiently documented. New Elementary reports that the instructions advise against lifting the model by the ends of the roadway and observes that an arch provides a sufficiently strong grip at an intermediate stage. This practical observation is not a complete test of the finished model: it suggests care when moving it, without allowing a conclusion about its overall durability.

Price is the main drawback. Brick Architect considers the US price of $349.99 particularly poor value and reduces its verdict to 3 out of 5, saying a more appropriate price would have led to a better assessment. Brickonaute points out that the French price of €299.99 exceeds that of the 2010 model despite a lower piece count. TheBrickBlogger likewise finds the expense difficult to justify for owners of the older version. Brick Blog – Der LEGO Blog reaches a more favourable conclusion at the discounted price of €224.99 it observed: the difference therefore also reflects the price considered, rather than necessarily a disagreement about the list price.

Ultimately, the reviews document an attractive display model with well-received printed details and an interesting lifting function. Its symmetrical build may be calming or tiresome depending on the builder. Its financial appeal appears substantially stronger at a discount, especially for anyone who already owns the previous Tower Bridge.

Strengths

• Recognisable silhouette and well-received colours
• Refined printed tiles, with no stickers
• Lifting roadway adds a feature to the display model
• Relaxed build for those who enjoy symmetrical construction

Weaknesses

• Many repeated steps between the two sides
• List price considered high, particularly compared with the 2010 model
• Purchase is harder to justify for owners of the older model
• Care needed when moving the model

Where reviewers disagree

Brickonaute finds the build distinctly repetitive, while The Earl of Bricks enjoys the rhythm created by building the two towers. — Brickonaute · The Earl of Bricks

Brick Architect considers the US price very poor value, whereas Brick Blog – Der LEGO Blog finds the value attractive at the discounted price it observed; the two assessments do not concern the same price. — brickarchitect.com · Brick Blog – Der LEGO Blog
