LEGO® sets have been getting increasingly bigger but most pale in comparison to LEGO ICONS Eiffel Tower. The 10,001-piece set stands at almost 5ft in height and is almost as impactful as the landmark which has inspired it.

10306: Atari 2600 LEGO Set Review

Long before PlayStation, Xbox and little before Nintendo, Atari led the way in video gaming. The Atari Video Computer System, more commonly known as the 2600, brought gaming to the masses.
