Set 10214 - Tower Bridge

It's been a long time since I've done set focuses, and I haven't written about Set 10214 - Tower Bridge since it was released. This set has been available via LEGO.com for the last month or so. Coming in at US$240 and 4287 pieces, this is a massive set. Just the 556 tan cheese wedges alone have many excited. Another unique part is the pair of unique shields. As a castle guy I'd love to outfit a faction with this heraldry, but these will run you at least $2.50 on Bricklink. Ktraphagen did a great job of documenting the building process and you can see a video with the set's designer. ADHO16 made a virtual version.
