Lego has been famous worldwide since its first time to hit the market in 1932. Not only children are captivated with the hobby of building models of their favorite robots, vehicles, and buildings using Lego but most adults as well.

These famous sets of toys have been renowned all over the world and with that, much is owed to Ole Kirk Christiansen, the founder and first Lego-maker.

Over the years, Lego building has metamorphosed from the simplest to the most extra ordinary that may require exquisite skills and talents from the builder. Among the works that necessitate extraordinary tricks are the replicas of the some of the world’s greatest skyscrapers – the Eiffel Tower of France, the CN Tower of Canada, and the Empire State Building of New York. These unique Lego representations of the three buildings have swarmed immeasurable interest from Lego fanatics, hence the need for public introduction and sales.

The Lego Eiffel Tower

The Lego Eiffel Tower is a very innovative model that has an approximate scale of 1/650. The creator of this Lego replica spent almost two years in recreating the Lego Eiffel Tower which was originally designed using flex tubes. Patience was, in deed, a virtue in building an accurately beautiful and breath-taking Lego brick landmark. The Lego Eiffel tower is now available in most toy stores and the immensity of its sales has proven the satisfaction that builders – young and adults – experience from its creation.

The CN Tower of Canada

Another spectacular model is the Lego CN Tower which stands proudly in a single 10 inches x 10 inches base plate and with a height of 33.5 inches. Lego fans would attest to the greatness of the Lego CN Tower and the real CN Tower’s resemblance.

The Empire State Building of New York

A micro scale model of the well-known Empire State building located in 350 Fifth Avenue, New York, USA also has a replica. It can be noticed that the colors of the Empire State building is also reflected in the replica.  The Lego Empire State building contains 77 bricks with instructions and photos in a booklet.

Building these famous structures may be time consuming but considering the pleasure you get upon seeing the smiles in your children’s faces as they build them, or merely the satisfaction that comes from an adult’s childlike hobby, time is never really a concern.
