The finest liberty set ever
on June 7, 2018
Posted by: jarrodm55
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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Outstanding detail
on June 24, 2018
Posted by: Jackmojo
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.

Best Architecture Set Ever!
on July 19, 2020
Posted by: Farsider
This is an amazing set. Great detail in the tower and body. But like a lot of others, I do wish it had a custom-made face. The shield piece does not do it justice. But with a couple pieces and a Thunderbird head from a Fantastic Beasts set, I think I solved the problem. Lol. Keep up the great work Lego!!

Fantastic model ruined by poor face plate
on August 14, 2018
Posted by: Ernie123
This is a superb model from the top to just below the face plate. Being a huge Lego fan, I am very surprised that this model did not have a custom made face plate. The face ruins an otherwise great model. Very, very disappointing from Lego. What was the designer thinking?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lady liberty
on June 22, 2018
Posted by: Cheree
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!!!

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.

The Lady
on June 9, 2018
Posted by: hanfs
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 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.
