April 22, 20187 yr Love this. Might have to try and rework the neck but this looks great. The beige stonework and body look spot on next to the real-life picture. Have always wanted the larger model but this looks like a great alternative
April 22, 20187 yr Not bad, but I'd like a face of some sort, even if printed. Far better than that halfarsed Great Wall of China.
April 22, 20187 yr Not blown away by this. The base looks fine but I don't think lady liberty herself works. Why is the arm so short? It's clearly too short in the image on the box showing the side-by-side with the real one.

April 22, 20187 yr Yep good point. The more I look at this set the less I like it. the problem is that it does a poor job of representing the human form of the statue. The base looks great as it's a brick structure anyway, but the contrast between the quality of the base vs. the Awkwardness of the statue doesn't help
April 23, 20187 yr Tourists who travel to New York and see the statue will not care about the accuracy of this set as much as I think people from the U.S. will. They will look at this as a memory or a gift they can buy to remember seeing it while on vacation. Same as I have a couple sets from Europe, even if I don’t know if it’s exactly accurate.
April 23, 20187 yr Face shield is the dealbreaker for me. The ultimate butterface. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

April 23, 20187 yr Popular Post Hopefully this paves the way for some other famous landmarks in future years (initial Lego mockups attached)
April 23, 20187 yr People are hating on this way too much, I think it's a pretty interesting build. I do agree if they used the plate, why not do a printed one, and laughed at the excellent MS Paint above.

May 22, 20187 yr If you're ever bored one day and happen to have 12 pentagons laying around, why not make a dodecahedron out of them?
May 31, 20187 yr Just received the following email from Lego today (5/30/18): "This New York icon is for sale early at the LEGO® Stores at Rockefeller Center and Flatiron District. Plus, get a FREE poster with your Statue of Liberty purchase ONLY at these 2 locations, while supplies last."
