Good but..

Great for display, looks amazing and really does a good job of showing off the statue itself. However, the first part of the build was horrible. Repeating the same exact steps over and over and over and over again got very annoying. It was worth it at the end though.
I thoroughly enjoyed this build. I like that there are red, white and blue bricks on the inside. The details are great and her pose perfect. I wasn't a fan of the flat face so I modified that, but even if I didn't this would still be one of my favorite sets.
Bought this one for my daughter, she follows in my footsteps as a lego lover...particularly the architectural category. This one was fun to build and looks fantastic. The only reason I reduced the stars to from 5 to 4 is because the box is missing the flat piece that goes on top of the book.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sorry to hear your set wasn't complete! If the part doesn't turn up hiding in the packaging, you can request a replacement at LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV.
I bought this set cause i saw it at the book store and it looked nice so like 2 weeks later i bought it cause i didn't have enough money before and i built it and it looks amazing. I was missing the fire piece on the torch but i had one of my own I could use which, (no offense), looked better than the original piece.
Thanks Lego and my neighborhood for supplying me with money by mowing their lawn :)
This was a crazy build with so many tiny pieces! Some parts are very repetitive, 4x, once for each side. My biggest complaint is the lack of a face on the statue. Why no face LEGO? This is such an iconic statue and to just leave it blank seems wrong.
Honestly the base of this set is great with outstanding detail. Great instructions. Although, the body and the face is a disgrace to Lady Liberty. It looks like the designer didn’t even try. The flame on the torch looks like hair from a minifigure. Sad set.
The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because of the blank face. But, I found JK Brickworks' easy modification to use pieces from the kit to create a good representation of the actual face, so I bought this kit and don't regret it. Even with the repetition, it was an enjoyable build, especially the pedestal. Thankfully, the left and right-sloped pieces came in separate bags so that made it much easier to assemble the outer surface of the statue. I recommend that LEGO modify the basic kit to incorporate face details in future production runs.
