Lady liberty
on June 22, 2018
Posted by: Cheree
from Pleasantville
I built this set with my 6yr old. Loved it!! He learned new ways to use bricks on this set. He is obsessed with lady liberty. We were a le to build this together and he was able to follow along instructiins with ease. I woukd of liked to see a face on her, and a lookout type torch area. This will look amazing inthe city we are building. Isaiah put blue base plates around bottom to symbolize water, which made it more realistuc. Way to go lego!!!

The best of the Architecture sets
on June 19, 2018
Posted by: foxhound52
I typically stay away from the Architecture series, because they are usually disappointingly small and overly expensive, especially in relevance to the scale of the model. This is my third Architecture set, with the Eiffel Tower and US Capitol rounding out my current collection. SO MUCH detail went into the base of the statue, including black pieces where the openings to the viewing platforms are. At first, I thought all the pieces were added in to pad the total count and raise the price, but once it's all together, the detail is worth it. This set really shines until you get to the face and head. I personally do not like the use of the spiraled "unicorn horn" pieces for the crown spikes, and the face, as most people seem to agree, is a complete and total letdown. It really leaves something missing from the overall finished appearance, and kind of spoils the show. Again, no detail was spared in the plinth, but it looks like her face melted off. The overall engineering of the piece is second to none. There are hidden Technic elements that firmly tie the statue to the base, and the way the flowing robe and arm pieces are constructed and attached are simply ingenious. Bit of helpful advice, inside bag 5 where all the "skin" elements are, the curved pieces that have definite left and right elements are in separate inner bags, so a little care in opening the bags into separate piles will save you many minutes of double and triple checking pieces (you'll see what I mean when I get there). Overall, this is a fantastic set, is wonderfully large, but Lego should have produced an all new piece for the face element, pre-printed a face on the "home plate" piece that is provided, or given us a rotten sticker at the very, very least. The lack of the iconic face in stark contrast to the detail in the rest of the model leaves the whole thing looking unfinished.

bad quality
on June 18, 2018
Posted by: Wealthy
I am a big fan of LEGO and my mom is living in NYC. That's why, I always want to build a LEGO Statue of Liberty.
I am not sure why the quality of the bricks are different this time. The quality of the result is not significant.
Also, some pages of the building instruction are ripped in the middle with some holes.

Lady Liberty
on June 16, 2018

from Mankato
I've been to the Statue a Liberty a few years ago. It was really something then, This set was added to my Architecture section. Overall, the repetition is mainly to the plinth section. There is very minimal, if any repetition on the statue build. Be careful on those little small green pieces on part of the body, as I can see why it can be tricky to mess it up. I was impressed with the height and size, a little bit bigger than I expected. The face could've been a little better, but it's not really bothersome if you don't think about it and from a distance, not really noticeable. Overall, a great set.

The face, or lack of.....
on June 11, 2018

The Lego design of the face is an insult to French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. And me. This statue has a lot of meaning to millions of people. It deserved better treatment.

Hey there! Thank you for your review. Your feedback is important to us, and we're sorry to hear that you didn't like the design of your LEGO® set. Our designers always work really hard to create sets that fit within a theme's style while finding unique, creative ways of showcasing our existing elements. Though every detail of her Lady Liberty's face may not be on display in this set, she still stands tall, serving as a symbol of freedom.

this product build is fine until you get to to the Top,
at which point you see Two Disappointments:
1) No Face ! it looks like she wears a traffic mask
2) A Sad Flame on the Torch ! it should be shining bright

The finest liberty set ever

While I’m not a huge fan of the architecture series I do find them very interesting. I decided to take the plunge on this set and as my very first architecture series set, I couldn’t be happier! This set is incredibly detailed and embodies lady liberty in every tiny brick! This set will have a permanent place in my home! Thank you Lego group for producing this awesome set!

Lady liberty at her finest
on June 4, 2018
Posted by: MBucko84
As Architecture sets go this one really is a true testament to how far the theme has come in recent years. The details on this beautiful set are absolutely incredible! And the size of the structure is decent too. Also some of the techniques used to construct the set are very very impressive, there's alot of repitition building in the plinth section but that is to be expected given the source material. And the inclusion of so many new pieces in sand green is going to be a huge bonus to many MOC Fans out there. I applaud the design crew who worked on this beautiful work of art. My advice to anybody that is going to build this is simply to take your time, as when you are constructing lady liberty it is easy to lose track and make a small mistake here and there.. don't rush the build just do it at your leisure and enjoy it. Nice one Lego.. you've done it again
