Oh wow!
on July 6, 2018
Posted by: Babs
I was really impressed with how sturdy the base was when it was completed. The actual statue itself requires a lot of patience and concentration. Even though I swear I was putting all the right parts in the right places, I didn't have enough to finish the statue at the end, so I'm waiting for more pieces so I can add the final finishing touches. Like many other reviewers, I am somewhat disappointed in the face...it's kind of like an old "Three Stooges" movie that comes abruptly to an end and you find yourself asking out loud, "what happened"??? Anyway, it looks pretty impressive!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for your review! We're glad you're enjoying your set, but we're sorry to hear some pieces haven't made their appearance. Don't worry, though! They're on their way and Lady Liberty will soon be complete.

I was born on the 4th of July so naturally my parents thought this would be a good gift. They were right!
It is the right amount of challenge mixed with fun.
It is structurally sound.
It looks great.

It looks really nice, a great display piece

I saw this was available and felt it would make a great addition to the growing Lego display of places around the world.
I think it should have had a sticker with Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. It really does need that.
This is a really nice set and I have it by my door welcoming people to my home.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought this set for my husband as a Father's Day gift and he loved it. He spent 4 hours at our dining room table, completing it in a single afternoon. Great set for adults who still love legos!

Pretty Cool

Received the Statue of Liberty as Father’s Day gift. First off, it was a very challenging build. There are several pieces that I hadn’t seen before in any sets. There are many curved wedge pieces used in this set. One slants one way and one slants the other (mirror image). It was very cumbersome to keep picking the piece up and realizing I needed the OTHER piece. The 3D view in the instructions of these pieces still makes it difficult to distinguish between the two, so be careful. My set appeared to be missing two small pieces, which I have ordered for replacement. Both the pedestal and the statue were fun to build and I enjoyed watching them take shape. I appreciate that it is a fulfilling build right up to the end.
I am disappointed that the tan pedestal bricks do not appear with the same sheen and contrast as they appear on the box. This would be the same as, say, the Empire State Building and small Big Ben set. The photos of the bricks on the box make it appear fancier than it actually is. Makes me want to dust it with graphite powder or something to accentuate the tan bricks’ nooks and crannies.
The size is impressive, might even be taller than the Burj Khalifa.

Fun build

I think it’s a good build for it’s price. I would recommend to LEGO to maybe include a sticker for the face because a blank piece is a little dull.

Great Detail

At first I was a little disappointed to see the Statue of Liberty being made into a set again, since she’s been represented in sets before, but the unique details of this one make it stand out and love it as much as the original set from the early 2000s. Though small, the details are great, especially in the flow of the statue’s clothes and the stone look of the pedestal. It is easy to make mistakes on this set, since there are so many little pieces, especially when working in the statue portion, but it’s worth it. She looks great beside the original and holds her own with the smooth look and use of the pedestal.

Outstanding detail

First of all let me please address those who are deterred by the representation of Lady Liberty's face using the modified pentagonal tile: I believe your expectations are far too high.
At this scale, I cannot fathom a way to make a face that would work. Furthermore, it seems that other reviewers were SURPRISED to find her without a face when it's clearly depicted on the box and in images on this site that her face was "missing." Enough on all that -- on to the good stuff.
This build was one of the most enjoyable I've had with the Architecture series. The detailing throughout the model is beyond impressive. It seemed that with every turn of the page I found myself going, "wow, would you look at that!"
I learned a myriad of new building techniques as I constructed this model and the vast number of parts offered in Sand Green is an absolute joy - though I can't imagine I'll ever take her apart!
When your model is complete, take some real time and look closely at the pedestal and robes of the model compared to images of the actual statue. I'm certain you'll be as impressed and in awe of LEGO's design work as I am.
