Really looks great... but what is the deal with the sets of "tools" next to the brick separator?

Look, kids... Big Ben, Parliament...
It looks pretty incredible, if a bit of a repetitive build, but such is architecture.

Nice, must buy this !
Re: 10253 Big Ben from LEGO Creator Line - Official Press Re
It appears that the clock hands are made out of some of those tools, and the rest are just leftover...why they bothered to show these leftover pieces is beyond me though.dho7622u wrote:Really looks great... but what is the deal with the sets of "tools" next to the brick separator?

I wonder if it's the same scale as the London bridge set.

I think the real Ben is currently undergoing repairs. I guess you can use them for a repair crew MOD.pro_zach wrote:It appears that the clock hands are made out of some of those tools, and the rest are just leftover...why they bothered to show these leftover pieces is beyond me though.dho7622u wrote:Really looks great... but what is the deal with the sets of "tools" next to the brick separator?

This looks fantastic. What an epic display this would make! I'm visiting London for the first time in July and it will make it very difficult for me not to splurge on this set.

Hmm... Big Ben, London Bridge, and Eiffel Tower... now just gotta get my hands on a Statue of Liberty. (I didn't like the Opera House).
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

Technically isn't this a St Stephens tower? I think it's the bell that's really named Big Ben. Anyway I love the scene in European vacation quoted above and this is a really impressive set, I wish I had the kind of space to display something of this size.
