This odd little ugly duckling bears very little resemblance to the real thing. Its form, proportions, details, and structural system are all wrong.
I have 12 different Space Needle souvenir models in my collection, and the least accurate one (a cigarette lighter, of all things) is far more faithful to the original than this misguided travesty. For less money, one can buy a beautiful plywood model kit that's more than twice the size, and has far more detail and fidelity to the original.
How could a major, well-funded company miss the boat so completely, especially in a special series meant to celebrate architectural values?
By misrepresenting the Space Needle's appearance and spirit so badly, Lego has produced an anti-educational product. Why was no architectural or engineering expertise applied to this model?Get more detail about LEGO Architecture Seattle Space Needle (21003).
