- Reviewed in Canada on February 1, 2024Verified PurchaseGreat!!
- Reviewed in Canada on December 31, 2016Verified Purchasethe pieces for the head are wobbly, will break and/or make it totally wobbly
the instructions include a huge mistake between steps 10 and 12, which will defintively mess up your work if you follow them!! the tabs of the head's part to insert into the second round piece #10 must NOT be inserted in the inside hole-slots, but in the outside ones... the subsequent piece 12 has to be inserted using the inside hole-slots... I forced and broke everything trying to do the opposite as clearly and erroneously drawn on the instruction sheet!!
- Reviewed in Canada on August 27, 2019It was received great as a gift
- Reviewed in Canada on September 15, 2020Verified PurchaseI purchased this model alongside the Iconx Peacock model, assuming I could get my bearings on the CN Tower before moving to the much more complicated Peacock. I ended up giving up on the CN Tower, I had an immensely difficult time forming the rounded portion of the top, and absolutely could not get the base together with the weird angles.
Still a phenomenal model, I'm entirely okay with having paid for it and ultimately breaking it, but I would suggest this one for those pros who have the proper forming tools. MetalEarth should reconsider its difficulty rating

- Reviewed in Canada on November 6, 2022Verified PurchaseIt should be emphasized who this product is intended for. It is definitely not for everybody. Specialized skills are required and specialized tool kit should not be "recommended" but mandatory. Wasted money.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2024Verified PurchaseNot only is it hard to assemble, as the parts that should be attached are breaking off.
Worst thing is that my kid got terrible itch on anything he touched after handling the metal; hands, feet, face.
He handled other similar sets before without any issues or reactions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too difficult
Verified PurchaseThis left my hands cut up and its very difficult to assemble. The instructions are very good. The problem is that the sheet metal is so thin that the folding pcs kept breaking and in the end it was totally useless

1.0 out of 5 stars This is the worst of the Metal Earth models
Verified PurchaseThis is the worst of the Metal Earth models. When you think it's going well they don't have the holes lined up properly come about piece 10 or 11. The top of the tower is lose and horrible...just a total fail. Metal Earth needs to rethink the design of this one. Unfortunately mine ended up in the trash when I couldn't work out the fit of the two circular pieces below the observation deck. Sad, I hate giving up on anything like this but I'm not going to force it and have it look like garbage just to say I completed it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Like a Rubiks cube, best you can do is get ONE side to look good (challenging, really delicate, wobbly/doesn't fit together)
Verified PurchaseThe CN Tower is an extremely challenging model; even with tools, it doesn't perfectly fit together in the end and I'm not sure it's possible that it can. I had to scrap my first attempt and bought a second set that I managed to finish and the top part is still wobbly. I've included some tips below, if you want to attempt it.
Tips/warnings:
- The parts are extremely small and delicate and may require folding. Too much pressure or re-folding will cause it to break and the model is useless without superglue. I know this is supposed to be a no-tools model, but I really recommend a pair of small pliers for the delicate work.
- Instead of going in the order of the instructions, put the model together in parts. This was the only way I was able to finish the second time, by learning from all the mistakes I made on my first attempt.
- Just like a real tower do NOT add the spire (steps/parts 1-3) until the very end. Building onto this just makes the rest of the model really cumbersome to work with because the metal is so thin and it's hard to keep flat/straight.
- Parts/steps 5-7 is probably the most difficult section for multiple reasons-- there's folds in both Parts 5 & 6 that have to work together; even if you get it right, this is the part that makes the tower wobbly/unstable; trying to get it to fit may result in over-folding or re-folding, causing it to break and the model to become useless. I put together part 5 first, turned it upside down, added part 6, and then closed up with part 7.
- Parts/steps 14-17 is the other difficult section because the instructions tell you to put together all 6 pieces together simultaneously and that's just not possible. I would say it's a 2-person job, except the pieces are so small, that it would be impossible to work together on this. The tabs for these parts also slip out easy; as soon as you get two sides in and try to close it up, another side becomes loose. I ultimately had two connect two sides, connect it to the base, and then jimmy the third side as best I could. Even then, there was a gap, which I'll just have to face towards the rear (see picture). Be prepared for a lot of back and forth here.
I give it 3 stars because I was able to build it in the end, but it definitely tried my patience and I'm sure I would have rated it significantly lower if I had to scrap my second set also.
