Super Display Piece

Thanks to my grandson I’ve been turned on to the world of Lego. My first few builds were quite simple and fun experiences, starting with the Yellow Submarine and progressing to the VW Beetle. I found the Statue of Liberty to be a refreshing challenge, an enjoyable build that ended with a great display piece. Hats off to LEGO.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not enjoyable and not display worthy
on July 20, 2018
Posted by: EB11
This was not fun to put together and also is not an attractive set. The city skylines sets are all interesting but this looks like a sketch drawing or cartoon. There is no face to lady liberty and the whole body is shapeless. Not a good effort from lego.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

An Incredible Set
on July 17, 2018
Posted by: jayp180
This set is a huge build compared to many of the other architecture sets and as a dedicated fan of that theme, I can say that this is indeed one of the finest sets. It is hard to give the piece a sense of scale in a standard picture but it completely dwarfs the other sets and really commands a presence in a room. It really is a challenge and fun build and the value for money is great, coming well under the golden ratio for price per part. As you can see from my window sill, the statue is certainly the shining masterpiece.

This is a very enjoyable set that I can be proud of when I display it. It has interesting building techniques.

I only wish the face of Liberty had more detail. Maybe a special printed brick would have helped.

Statue of Liberty 21042
on July 14, 2018

This was a joy to build. Various parts are repetative when building up the base but this never felt tedious or dull.
In spite of the fact that the majority of its 1,685 pieces are one by two plates, tiles, studs and cheese slopes, it is still a very substantial build compared to other sets within the archiceture line.
The set itself has some real presence in a room and it commands attention and is a great talking point. It is a respectable representation of the real thing both propotionally and in its over all shaping.
The way the lighting bounces of every angle of this set means that you can see the build in all its glory from every veiwing angle. The way the bricks seem to weave seemlessly throughout the set makes it a real pleasure to look at when displayed.
Building the parts and then putting them in place was a great experience and highlighted just how incredible the archiceture line has come in the past few years.
There are some great building techniques used which were surprising when you place parts into the overall set.
My only con regarding this set would be the face. It is a real shame that through the entire build a lot of detail can be seen and is very well presented. Adding the blank plate to represent the face felt dissappointing and is almost a discredit to the hard work and dedication the Lego designers must have taken to bring this set to life. Thankfully all the pieces required to adjust the shape to something a little more in keeping with the rest of the build are provided as spares or by making some small adjutments to the build.
The instruction manual was also very well presented and provided a wealth of historical information and did you know moments about the build that help you learn more about the Statue of Liberty itself. This was an excellent experience and added to the overall building journey.

The Most Patriotic Set from Architecture so far!
on July 9, 2018
Posted by: Technicman8071
The LEGO Architecture Statue of Liberty will catch in eye in any house and it is instantly recognizable. Fans have complained about the lack of a face but I for one find it okay at this scale. The model consists of two main colors-tan and sand green, with some red, yellow, blue, and black used on the inside. Every detail on this model is absolutely, one-hundred percent accurate. Having visited the actual thing in New York City, I can tell you that the model has every detail captured perfectly. My favorite is layer of detail is the balcony level of the pedestal. For your money, the price-per-piece ratio is good however there are many small pieces as one can expect in an architecture set. The green 2x1 curved slopes are very numerous in the set and, take it from me, pay very careful attention to the one the instructions are asking you to place as I neared the end I had the wrong type left and I had to backtrack and I eventually found my error but just pay attention.

Outstanding Display Piece

I have been anticipating this set since it was announced and I purchased it on the first day it was available. The set did not disappoint!
The build was challenging but very fun with several interesting building techniques. There is some repetition on the pedestal section which is to be expected. However, the base looks excellent when finished.
Lady Liberty herself looks great from all angles. The use of many smaller bricks and building techniques adds realistic texture to the model. Truly an impressive representation of an iconic symbol.
Because of all the small pieces and texture, the model can be a bit fragile. Some of the pieces can fall off when handling or moving the model. This means playability of this set is limited. Of course, this is not a factor when it is used as a display piece.
Using the flat plate for the face is a bit of a disappointment it would have been nice to have a print or texture instead.
