Great addition to our collection
on February 19, 2018
Posted by: Skust
This was the third Architecture piece in my collection and was a fun build. The others we have in our collection are the Empire State Building and The Flat Iron Building which are both in this collection as well and I like this version of the Empire State Building much more it is my second favorite building on the skyline second only to the Chrysler Building (hoping to get a standalone version of that one at a larger scale with more detail). The build was fun and easy my three-year-old helped and we had a lot of fun building this one as with all the others we have built. We look forward to adding to our collection soon

Brilliant Surpise
on January 13, 2018

First of all, I think this is an excellent set. I had read many reviews saying it was poor value for money and was a disappointing scale, so I wasn't expecting great things when I ordered it, but I was completely amazed when it arrived. The box and presentation were incredibly slick and clean. The instruction manual had great photos and facts in it and was a joy to read.
The building process was very fun and overall the finished product looks outstanding, especially lit in the dark. The Empire State Building, The Flatiron Building and the One World Trade Centre are my personal highlights.
Unfortunately the Chrysler Building was disappointing. It lacked the brilliant level of detail the others had on such a small scale and didn't really look like the real building.
Apart from that this was an excellent and fun product to display and build.I will certainly be looking in to purchasing the other skylines in the series.
I would recommend this to a friend!

NY New York
on September 10, 2017
Posted by: BTCSC
This is one of my favorites as NYC has a great skyline and this kit captures the essence nicely. The Empire State building is especially great especially at such a small scale. As far as the Statue of Liberty, I get it, Lego's are suggestive and not 100% exact to true detail like plastic modeling. I would love to see a separate Freedom Tower kit as that is a great looking building with some unique features, maybe even more so than the Burj Khalifa (hint hint).

Stressful Build, but Looks GREAT!!!
on July 19, 2017
Posted by: BryanMW2012
My experience with this set is "a little bad, a little good, bit of both..."
First off, the price is right, and the finished result looks great! But from the moment I opened the box, I realized this would be harder than any build I had ever done...
...First, the bags are not numbered, and I do not have a large workspace for these projects since my coffee table has filled up with other builds, so I do not have room to knoll out pieces. As such, because I was constantly picking from every bag at the same time, it became very stressful finding parts. I would have preferred if each building was divided into their own bag.
That said, despite the build being stressful, the finished result looks really nice and presents a nice representation of iconic locations in my favorite city, and has taken a place of honor next to the Apollo Saturn V.
I would recommend this build, but be forewarned that it is a little stressful. That said, it is also amazing to see everything come together...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fun, even for a New Yorker
on April 22, 2017
Posted by: TCWyldstyle
I live in Brooklyn but am in Manhattan almost everyday. My favorite well-known buildings are the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center, with the Empire State Building (ESB) and Flatiron Building as close seconds. I can see the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center and the ESB as I travel to and from Manhattan (it's amazing and I don't take it for granted). So, this set was a "no-brainer" for me to own. The pieces are unique and the set is really fun to build. The skyscrapers are a little unsturdy (several disassembled when the set tilted back into a box) but the pieces came off in chunks and were easy enough to put back together without needing to look at the instructions, and that's why I gave this a 4 block rating. I would recommend for older kids to adult due to small pieces. The end result is beautiful and fun to admire.

Good fun to complete this challenge.
Lots of intricate pieces to place so you have to look very carefully at the instructions.
An overall amazing product.
