I found sets at Dollar General in 2016 called Structures by Block Tech.

The boxes looked like this

I found multiples and found the pieces were good with a lot of tiles that I wanted to use for a subway or train car

In the end this is what I had

Collected

So eventually I'll have a subway train!

Other people have had bad issues with this brand but I've been happy.

Replicating the Eiffel tower in Lego

I love the Eiffel Tower and seeing is made out of Lego

I think the trick of building the tower is getting the base legs straight with inner connecting arches and proportional to the top length of the straight vertical portion

The 2 pics above are from Las Vegas and the 3rd infogram from google images

The large lego tower did this great as a set

I think that the straight beams going up from the 4 corners in contrast. To the connecting round arches between the 4 towers are hard to do with square blocks!

Here's more great pics of mocs people have done...

I cannot find who did this on the internet but I think it is genius using smaller more detailed pieces in ways that I would never have thought of.

I like this build also for the intricate detail (pic above)

Yet another way to build the base of the tower (above pic)

Again, love the intricate detail is fantastic

Above 3 bricks are great pics of set 21019

Another group of 3 pics above from great designers!

The towers below nearly if not identical versions...

Unsure if book author of brick city book is different from creator of the tower featured

The gray small structure at the bottom corner of the last picture of the 3 above is positioned different from the middle picture between the two red brick city book pics.

Also the red cover versions have a small blue piece in front of the red bus and white car at the base

The 5 pics below are good renditions of the tower...they are from pinterest or google images
