No designer listed on the box cover.

There's no designer listed anywhere! The model is listed on architecture.lego.com, and there's no "Design the Model" section on the website or in the instructions. I wonder if this one was all done in-house by a TLG designer instead of Tucker, Kobe, or Hepp - probably Steen Sig Andersen if I had to guess.

I like this set! Hopefully there will be a big discount in Amazon soon...

Another nice Architecture set which I will add to my collection.

Oops. Thought I was looking at a Marina Bay Sands topic for a second.

Lego architecture Eiffel Tower is now available at the lego store at least here in the UK for £29.99. I am tempted to buy Parisian Restaurant to complete it. http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/The-Eiffel-Tower-21019?p=21019#shopxlink

Interesting build, particularly since it's all hinges and swivel-plates at the bottom, the lowest legs can sort of 'dance' as you place the top level on, if you place too much lateral pressure at the upper level.

I like it, and I wonder if enough of these pieces are available in brick red and/or white so I could MOC up Tokyo Tower using this as a guide.

After building now, I agree with rollermonkey, the build is wobbly, you don't want to really touch it once you are done and it is straight and in place, put it up high so no one bumps it or you will have the Eiffel Tower of Pisa with a lean to it...not sure why they did it this way, but was disappointed that it was a build that didn't feel firm.

Mine doesn't move unless I really push on it... I wouldn't call it wobbly as much as it's surprisingly flexible for an iron tower. ;)
