The Seattle Space Needle Kit* in "Lego Architecture" is an exciting new concept in building and design for budding and experienced architects or for Lego fans of all ages. Each kit comes with building instructions and archival material.The kit contains 57 pieces and is great for those 10+. Built for the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle, Washington, it can withstand winds of up to 200 mph and has 25 lightning rods. Much more than a toy, the Seattle Space Needle in Lego is educational and an item worth collecting. The model is about 8.7 inches high when finished and provides good family togetherness as it is built.
