Nice easy build. Would like Lego to offer larger sets of the same type for those eho would like bigger finished sets. This set is nice but given the ratio size lady liberty is too small. After the 007 build this was very easy. Still fun as I am hooked. I still cannot get over how expensive these sets are but understand the cost of R&D and engineering time.
This skyline is so good. I love the WTC, Empire State, and the Chrysler Building. I am fine with the Statue of Liberty, it could be done better though. Also, it would have been cool if Lego could include the Rockefeller Center in this set too.
Honestly, this is a great little set, but the issue I had with it was that instead of numbered bags to go building by building, this set is packaged in several bags of totally mixed up parts. On sets that are this small in size, it's a lot of very small pieces (1x1's, 2x1's, etc) and the build could've been way more enjoyable had they just been packaged 1 or 2 bags per building.
That said, don't hesitate to pick up this set for yourself or as a gift... I received mine as a gift and I must admit it's a great addition to the Architecture lineup! While a few reviewers don't like the Statue of Liberty mini figure, personally, I think it's a quirky/fun touch by Lego. Speaking of the Statue of Liberty, that might have to be my next set. :)
I would add videos, but once again, the website turns my pics sideways. :|
In The Past My experience With Lego Architecture Has Been Very Good,Big Ben,The Leaning Tower Of Pisa,The Eifel Tower,The Louvre And The Arc De Thriomfe(Or However You Spell It)Are All Very Models And This Is No Exeption,The Build Was Fun And I Found It Very Interesting How The One World Trade Center Goes Together,The Statue Of Liberty Does Look A Little Weird But You Can Still Tell What It Is,The Empire State Building Is Also Very Recognisible Although The Builds A little Finnicky,The Chrysler Building Is Very Interesting-Looking And I Really Like It,The Flatiron Looks A Little Weird But Is Still Cool And One World Trade Center Is Awesome,The Build Altogether Is Good,The Set Makes A Good Display Model And The Only Place This Set Fails For Me Is The Playibility But That's To Be Expected From Lego Architecture,So All-In-All I Would Highly Recommend This To Anyone Who Likes New York,Lego Architecture Or Nice Display Pieces.
My 6 year old breezed right through this with absolutely no help from his dad or I. He took his time and followed the directions carefully and completed it within 72hours. As long as you keep making lego's we will continue to buy them. Our little guy is amazing at them, oh did I mention he is only 6. Proud mom
Very enjoyable build. I especially liked how all the bricks fit together to form these buildings. For the most part I had no issues as the instructions were easy to follow. I would recommend taking your time and not get ahead of the instructions because there is a reason for each brick. I really love the final product.
