Is there any real validity to this, or is this a fake?

It looks like it could be a future Architecture set.

It seems fairly legitimate. I downloaded the PDF file, scrolled down to the page with the set, and zoomed in. It does have the printed name tile at the base.

Well, at least it looks better than the Marina Bay Sands one although that isn't saying much really.

[MartinP]

To me, the set looks good for being so small, and still having a lot of details.

If Hoth Bricks is right - it looks like it could be 321 pieces, so that would be a nice middle size set in this line.  Right on par with Big Ben but taller.

This looks genuine to me and actually one I would buy.  Will that mean a Taj Mahal and Tower Bridge on the way too?

I agree with this. Some of the Architecture line have looked rather ordinary, however this one looks far better.

Super excited for this!

[superbrickman]

I hope this one makes it! Also, one for the Taj Mahal would be sweet, since a MOC I've been working on is still a work in progress

I'm waiting to see how well the rest of the range performs and I'll then know how many to buy.  I'll certainly get one to build.

[TheOrcKing]

I don't know how but someone on Eurobricks has already done a review about the Eiffel Tower Architecture set!

It looks quite good! Perfect for those who can`t afford/don`t wish to spend the money on the full sized model. Everyone wants a little taste of Paris.

Anyone know when the set will be released? After reading the review, I want one of these.

I remember seeing somewhere Lego actually officially announced the set, but I can't for the life of me remember when or where I saw this. I'm sure it will be early sometime next year. I personally am not that big of a fan of the architecture series, but my wife loves it. I bought her the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the White house. Put together, it's a interesting little set. I don't mind them too much, and this definitely has some appeal. I'm sure I will buy this soon enough so the wife can add to her collection lol.

Do you know how jealous I am of you?  I would give two Tower Bridges and R2-D2 to hear that my wife loves the architecture series!  Hers is more of a - ahh, Lego is okay - I'll tolerate your addiction...

DEAL! I'll PM you my address so you can send over those sets and I'll have my wife convince yours that Lego is awesome! haha

I have both Tower Bridge and R2D2, and even she thinks they are awesome sauce. I've also got her into modulars as well. We have Palace Cinema, Pet Shop, Grand Emporium, and Fire Brigade.

I was honestly somewhat surprised to see her get into it like me. Best of wishes. Hopefully your wife will come around.

It's about time for this set!

I am hoping the rumors are true and this set is released in January.  Really like this one and look forward to adding it to my Architecture collection.

I hope the rumors are true, but I will not be picking it up for a while. I will wait for some discounts on the set before I buy it.

you should get the older one, it's friggin HUGE and a pretty nifty build, though I don't recommend it if you have cats, it's fragile as all hell

Would love to snag the older model just don't know if I want to shell out the money needed.  Maybe one day I will bite the bullet.  I do like the larger scale models though.

I REALLY want that set, but I do not have the money to spend on a set of that size. Maybe I can bricklink the set one day so I can have the set.

Can we order pieces specific to a set using the brick link database (and not by looking up each piece)? I'd love to brick link the Taj Mahal and Eiffel Tower (I regret not buying them before as a college student on a budget), better that than buying used. But the time spent is important, so an upload of the parts list and direct links to where to buy from would be great. Does this exist? Any other pointers?

[Quacs]

I believe you would have to go to the inventory page of the set in question and add each piece in the correct quantity to your Wanted List.  Then search the Bricklink stores by "unique lot" for the stores that have the most pieces available, and commence ordering!  The longest part of this effort would be to add the pieces to your inventory.  Literally, you have to go piece type by piece type and add the correct quantity of each to your Wanted List.  Very tedious for an almost 6,000 piece set.
