Gear Patrol | Spirit of Adventure, Passion for Gear

Ang-lego-philes, your holy grail has arrived. Modeled after the famous Tower Bridge, not to be confused with the London Bridge, the 40″ wide by 17″ tall Lego Tower Bridge (TBD, Available October) is a 4,287 piece monstrosity that’s bound to both satiate jaded adults and lego-snobs alike. Not that I’m either… Details abound in this gorgeous design: a working drawbridge, printed shields, 80 windows, and 4 miniature vehicles including a red double-decker bus and black London taxi. River Thames not included, you’ll have to settle for blue (brown would have been more realistic) baseplates. Care to see more about how much work goes into designing a set like this? Hit up Lego and watch the video.

Take Note: Our über Lego-loving readers will appreciate knowing that the Tower Bridge Lego set includes no less than 556 tan 1×1 slopes pieces to create the detailed spires.
