Nice profile of New York
on January 28, 2021
Posted by: MattMussorgsky
I am from the tri-state area, so I am a bit biased, but I do really enjoy how this set looks. The Empire State Building and WTC are the best. Chrysler Tower was a little bland, but it's the only rendition of this building in the Architecture line.
One gripe I think is there could have been a smidge more detail, like little taxi cabs or something. I'm nitpicking at this point because it really is a great set, but I just feel the buildings are lined up next to each other and that's it. NYC is very linear, but it feels like of empty.
Overall, great set and I'm definitely glad it's part of my collection.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good set but a minor problem.
on January 7, 2021
Posted by: LelandGuo
This is an average build and an awesome set but has a minor problem. The twisting on the OWTC can be a bit better but I understand it is hard to do that with bricks. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this set and would recommend this to any fan of New York!

OKAY why make it so unstable
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: NSpartangaldaitor045
This thing fall apart in a matter of a month. It is hard to build. And is a pain to put together. I am not saying that I am a bad builder it is just unstable. I am 13 and have built at least forty sets and this is the one in two that made me quit building it.
I hope this helps someone out there. thank you for reading this

Response from LEGOBy Natasha, LEGO® Customer Service, November 10, 2020
Sorry to hear you’re having some difficulty with the stability of your New York City set. We always test and retest our toys to make sure that they’ll hold up to play when they’re built exactly as shown in the instructions. If your set ever seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together.
If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV.

Meh
on June 11, 2020
Posted by: KRTC
Meh, I love the LEGO Architecture series, and should have probably started with this build. Very plain and very easy to assemble. I had to make myself take little breaks to feel like I was getting my money worth. The packaging was in really bad shape but I won’t hold that against the review. The One World Trade Center building was the highlight.

Beautiful

I really enjoyed building this, it is my first architecture piece and while I enjoyed the time I spent on it I was very disappointed with the size of the Statue of Liberty It was so small it was kind of ridiculous looking and totally throws off the rest of the structure this should definitely be something that should be fixed in my humble lego loving opinion

The Empire State
on October 27, 2019
Posted by: KeatonTheColoradan
This skyline set is fantastic when displayed with a light gray background on a black shelf, as mine is. I like how most buildings here can be displayed from more than one angle, although the Flatiron Building is a little bit bland from the backside. Still, you have to understand that at that small of a scale, that was probably the most appropriate thing for the designers to do, so I respect them for making that decision. That goes for the Statue of Liberty as well, as I read some of the other reviews here, and that also was probably the best choice for the designers to do was using that small sand-green microfigure. Sure, it doesn't have a torch, but if the figure were manufactured as its own design specific to this model, it would be a lot more expensive to produce, and thus the cost of this set could've been quite a bit more, something that could've deterred a lot of this set's potential customers. The whole thing, though complicated in some areas (Empire State and One WTC), is fairly sturdy, and captures the most iconic New York sights well. It is (imo) the best of the Skyline series, in the aspects of color composition, displayability, sturdiness, and usage of space. It isn't overly lacking but also doesn't cram too many structures in a limited amount of space. Thanks LEGO!
