Brilliant Surpise
on January 13, 2018
Posted by: RebelEngineer2
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!

I really enjoyed building this, it is my first architecture piece and while I enjoyed the time I spent on it I was very disappointed with the size of the Statue of Liberty It was so small it was kind of ridiculous looking and totally throws off the rest of the structure this should definitely be something that should be fixed in my humble lego loving opinion

Nice profile of New York

I am from the tri-state area, so I am a bit biased, but I do really enjoy how this set looks. The Empire State Building and WTC are the best. Chrysler Tower was a little bland, but it's the only rendition of this building in the Architecture line.
One gripe I think is there could have been a smidge more detail, like little taxi cabs or something. I'm nitpicking at this point because it really is a great set, but I just feel the buildings are lined up next to each other and that's it. NYC is very linear, but it feels like of empty.
Overall, great set and I'm definitely glad it's part of my collection.

Lovely set
on March 21, 2021
Posted by: abpersonality
I've been trying to get all of the architecture sets of cities that I've actually been to, and I was excited to see there was one for NYC. I had fun putting together this set and it was relatively easy once you can actually see the manual (this wasn't as difficult as some other sets since there aren't as many black pieces as other architecture sets). My only wish was that there would be a "mini" building detail as some of the other sets, such as Shibuya Crossing of Tokyo or Freemont street of Las Vegas. A tiny Times Square would have made this set absolutely perfect and fun and not as strictly structural as just the buildings and a tiny Statue of Liberty make it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Enjoy it for what it is

Having recently built the Empire State Lego, the same building in this set is a comedown from that exquisit and beautiful set. If you have the opportunity to build both, definitely assemble the New York City group before starting the Empire State Building, as the latter is fantastic, while the New York City is merely OK. I bought it just for a fun evening diversion, and it met that goal completely; assembly created no problems. There was a single missing interior piece, and several extras. Overall, a one-session delight and fun-filled project.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great, but geographically not accurate

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this set as a gift and was really excited to build this. I have lived in NYC most of my life, so needless to say that I was a bit disappointed with the lack of attention to detail on the placement of the buildings. If you are going to put the statue of liberty surrounded by water then the next building should be one world trade, followed by the flat iron building, then Empire state building, then Chrysler building. I will have to rebuild this set in that order just so my OCD doesn’t spark up. Regardless, thank you for creating such an awesome set!
