Big Ben Building Block Set, 1,095 Pieces, London Clock Tower Model Kit

This build is a solid buy - it’s not big brand quality, but it’s high enough quality to be a satisfying build at a great price. Some pieces were slightly loose or tight, but this did not hinder progress, as the pieces as a whole fit together well. The instructions are absurdly small, but otherwise not difficult to read. There’s a lot of repetition, but that’s a plus for me. This is a fairly straightforward build that can be enjoyed by newer builders as well as experienced ones.

Awesome and well done block building! My 7 y/o perfectionist son, who is obsessed with big ben (even dressing up as big ben for Halloween!); found the final project perfect, meeting his expectations. Just one little detail to highlight is that 1 piece out of the 1640 was defective (looks like melted from the top-shown in the pictures). Other than that, totally worth the price and effort.

This kit will provide you with plenty of soothing build time. The bricks do not fit together as well as Lego bricks, and sometimes it may be frustrating putting them together because of how tight they are. Their edges are also much sharper than what I imagine most people are used to. However, everything goes together well, the bags are well labeled by stage of assembly, the instructions are clear, and no pieces are missing. It's right around 2 feet tall, so if you want something relatively tall, this kit might work for you.

Amazing huge Lego fan in this actually put together nicely. The pieces were perfect and it’s quite large. It’s one of my son’s favorite pieces. It’s huge.

My 7 year old has a bit of an obsession with clocks – specifically Big Ben. When I say “obsession” I guess I should clarify that he is autistic and clocks are one of his passions in life. He can tell you everything you never wanted to know about Big Ben, like how that’s the name of the bell, not the clock or tower, how many steps to the top, how much the clapper weighs etc. ANYHOO, he really wanted the LEGO Big Ben for his recent birthday, but not only is it over $400 but it includes the entire structure attached to the tower and he is only really interested in the clock/bell tower itself. This was the perfect alternative! The price is right, the size is right, it looks really cool completed and he loves it! A few things to know before you buy. First, it looks and feels and is designed to be like LEGO bricks in every way, but the quality just isn’t as high. I’ve included a few pictures of bricks that were deformed or warped or had additional plastic cling ons. You don’t find that kind of thing with authentic LEGO bricks. That being said, they include plenty of extra pieces so the few that were deformed beyond use (maybe 3-4 out of 1600) weren’t a big deal. I can confirm that they are compatible with authentic LEGO bricks. That being said, in my experience, these were a little trickier to fit together than LEGO bricks are and took a little more force to click into place (and a little more finger pain). Also, if you’re used to building LEGOs, it’s worth noting that unlike LEGO instructions that are based on numbered bags, these bags have no number orders and don’t correlate to the instructions. My best advice if you buy this is to plan on opening all the bags and sorting the pieces into different bowls. The process is SO repetitive that you will thank yourself for taking the time to do this first, I PROMISE. Plus most of the pieces are the same color so it will really save your eyes in the long run to do this. The instructions were actually quite easy to follow which I wasn’t expecting with a Chinese LEGO knock off product! Some things about how it goes together are poorly designed such as the method of keeping the chain around the bottom in place. It is very hard to get to stay put and pops out if slightly bumped. In fact, if you look closely in the product photos, you can see that even in those, the chain is popped off on one of the corners! We have experienced this as well. I will likely super glue it in place so it doesn’t continue to cause frustration. Oh, and I wish the description had said how tall it was completed, but it doesn’t. For your info, the finished tower is 25” tall and the base is 7” x 7”. My son has added it to his current LEGO train layout and thinks it’s awesome! It took me (he only helped a little) about 4-5 hours to complete. There are sooooooo many tiny one stud flat pieces that you might wonder if you’ll ever get through them all haha. In summary, I can definitely recommend for the price if you’re looking for a less expensive set that looks and feels like LEGO without the hefty price tag. And yes I paid full price for it myself! **Has this review been helpful to you? I certainly hope so! Feel free to ask me questions in the comments!**

Great quality!

Me encantó montarlo, habitualmente me gusta, disfruto y me sirve de terapia montar estructuras de bloques de construcción. Lo recomiendo a cualquier persona que le guste este tipo de entretenimiento, fácil de construir, gracias.

le istruzioni sono chiare e i pezzi si incastrano perfettamente

Een mooie grote Big Ben. Niet even stevig als normaal lego, maar goed genoeg. Duurt wel even om het in elkaar te zetten, maar dan heb je ook wel wat. Hoogte rond de 64 cm.

Super, Aufbau gut beschrieben... und erfolgreich

Vi är ytterst besvikna över detta bygge. Vi har byggt många lego byggen förut men detta var verkligen svårbyggt och instruktionen var riktigt undermålig.

Pezzi duri da attaccare, ma un buon affare per il prezzo!
