The Most Patriotic Set from Architecture so far!
The LEGO Architecture Statue of Liberty will catch in eye in any house and it is instantly recognizable. Fans have complained about the lack of a face but I for one find it okay at this scale. The model consists of two main colors-tan and sand green, with some red, yellow, blue, and black used on the inside. Every detail on this model is absolutely, one-hundred percent accurate. Having visited the actual thing in New York City, I can tell you that the model has every detail captured perfectly. My favorite is layer of detail is the balcony level of the pedestal. For your money, the price-per-piece ratio is good however there are many small pieces as one can expect in an architecture set. The green 2x1 curved slopes are very numerous in the set and, take it from me, pay very careful attention to the one the instructions are asking you to place as I neared the end I had the wrong type left and I had to backtrack and I eventually found my error but just pay attention.

Amazing Detail to Lady Liberty
My daughter, 15 years old, and I enjoy building Lego Architectural sets together. We have completed most of the sets and we both agree Lady Liberty has the best detail of any of the sets thus far. Having no face is a little odd, but we really enjoyed our time building this one. Bravo Lego!

Lady Liberty
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.

enjoyable build of an iconic structure
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.

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!

An Incredible Set
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.

Fun build
I think it’s a good build for it’s price. I would recommend to LEGO to maybe include a sticker for the face because a blank piece is a little dull.

Outstanding detail
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.

Fantastic model ruined by poor face plate
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?

Best Architecture Set Ever!
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!!

Bday gift
I was born on the 4th of July so naturally my parents thought this would be a good gift. They were right!
It is the right amount of challenge mixed with fun.
It is structurally sound.
It looks great.

Oh wow!
I was really impressed with how sturdy the base was when it was completed. The actual statue itself requires a lot of patience and concentration. Even though I swear I was putting all the right parts in the right places, I didn't have enough to finish the statue at the end, so I'm waiting for more pieces so I can add the final finishing touches. Like many other reviewers, I am somewhat disappointed in the face...it's kind of like an old "Three Stooges" movie that comes abruptly to an end and you find yourself asking out loud, "what happened"??? Anyway, it looks pretty impressive!

The Lady
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
Lego, you need to fix this !

Statue of Liberty 21042
This was a joy to build. Various parts are repetative when building up the base but this never felt tedious or dull.
In spite of the fact that the majority of its 1,685 pieces are one by two plates, tiles, studs and cheese slopes, it is still a very substantial build compared to other sets within the archiceture line.
The set itself has some real presence in a room and it commands attention and is a great talking point. It is a respectable representation of the real thing both propotionally and in its over all shaping.
The way the lighting bounces of every angle of this set means that you can see the build in all its glory from every veiwing angle. The way the bricks seem to weave seemlessly throughout the set makes it a real pleasure to look at when displayed.
Building the parts and then putting them in place was a great experience and highlighted just how incredible the archiceture line has come in the past few years.
There are some great building techniques used which were surprising when you place parts into the overall set.
My only con regarding this set would be the face. It is a real shame that through the entire build a lot of detail can be seen and is very well presented. Adding the blank plate to represent the face felt dissappointing and is almost a discredit to the hard work and dedication the Lego designers must have taken to bring this set to life. Thankfully all the pieces required to adjust the shape to something a little more in keeping with the rest of the build are provided as spares or by making some small adjutments to the build.
The instruction manual was also very well presented and provided a wealth of historical information and did you know moments about the build that help you learn more about the Statue of Liberty itself. This was an excellent experience and added to the overall building journey.

Lady liberty
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!!!

Great detail and design
Lego Architecture amazed me with the level of detail on the pedestal and the creative design of the statue. The small pieces, and there are lots, add so many layers of detail. I am impressed by the final size and overall appearance. This is a great memory piece of her after being in New York. Highly recommend you see this amazing art piece with your own eyes. Lego has done a brilliant job of capturing her. It was a positive experience to build.

Very Nice
I really like this set, however the statue itself has a few elements that I do not find visually pleasing. You can absolutely tell what it is, but the detail really drops off around the head. My true reason for getting it was the base. The base is beautiful! I got it then plopped the brickhead on there. I could tell there was some neat element inside to keep the bottom attached to the statue, but i left those pieces out since i was using it to display the brickhead. I will say the base is a quite repetitive build, but the end result is pretty awesome.

Simply Awesome !!
I have never really been interested in the architecture series, and have never built one before. I have always predominately been a Lego Star Wars nut. But when I saw the Statue of Liberty I just had to have it ?
I spent 4 nights building this model and right from the beginning I was blown away with the incredible detail of this model. As I opened each bag, it just got better and better.
I would just like to say Great Job LEGO !!
I have now ordered the Great Wall of China and I am sure this will be just as fun.

Bought this set for my husband as a Father's Day gift and he loved it. He spent 4 hours at our dining room table, completing it in a single afternoon. Great set for adults who still love legos!

Cool set - less the face
This was my first trip into the Architecture series and, overall this was a fun build. The pics don't do it justice on the size, and it is solidly built. The set makes an overall great display piece...
That being said, the designers should have done more for the face. The "face" plate is ridiculous...there is zero reason a contoured plate could not have been recreated for the face, or at least a printed one. I had to find a mod to at least give it some depth. It's really a shame more wasn't done for this and for the tablet.

Thrilling Time
This is my first experience with your product. I am a 67 woman who just completed this set. I thoroughly enjoyed myself from start to finish and I am hooked on anything LEGO. All the parts were in the set with instructions. Note, there were no missing parts. I am totally impressed and had the time of my life putting this set together. THANKS Lego!

Outstanding Display Piece
I have been anticipating this set since it was announced and I purchased it on the first day it was available. The set did not disappoint!
The build was challenging but very fun with several interesting building techniques. There is some repetition on the pedestal section which is to be expected. However, the base looks excellent when finished.
Lady Liberty herself looks great from all angles. The use of many smaller bricks and building techniques adds realistic texture to the model. Truly an impressive representation of an iconic symbol.
Because of all the small pieces and texture, the model can be a bit fragile. Some of the pieces can fall off when handling or moving the model. This means playability of this set is limited. Of course, this is not a factor when it is used as a display piece.
Using the flat plate for the face is a bit of a disappointment it would have been nice to have a print or texture instead.
Overall this is a fantastic set and a great addition to the architecture line.

Amazing Display Piece!
This set is a really amazing way to recreate the Statue of Liberty with immense detail and plenty of nonrepetetive techniques. It always looks good no matter where I find myself putting it and is one of the better Architecture sets ever released. 10/10 would reccommend.

First time building with Lego
I'm new to this hobby. I always wanted to try building a Lego set. I picked out the Statue of Liberty and I'm so glad I did. As a new builder, I took my time. Love the book. It talks about the history of the statue. I learn to take my time and double check my work, making sure I didn't grab the wrong Legos. Once I was done, I was very proud of it. It's now on top of my fireplace. It's about 17 inches tall and about 2 lbs when done. I'm looking forward in building more Lego kits. Glad I found this hobby!

Very Clever Design
I love this set and I think the design work is very clever. I like that it's not as repetitive as several of the other architecture sets are and the colours work well together. The finished product makes for a nice display piece too. Highly recommend this kit.

Was really excited about this one and it did not disappoint! Great, fun build, not too repetitive. This is an excellent display piece. I loved the building booklet and the small facts throughout. Most fun I've had in awhile for a Lego build.

I bought this for my mom for Mother’s Day, as this is the set that she always has wanted. Even though this was one of her first Lego sets that she has built, the process went very smoothly. It was a very good time!

Honestly.....
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 face, or lack of.....
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.

I highly enjoyed building this set. Took about 3 hours, while watching tv and eating snacks. Easy build, watch the directions of the pieces you are using. Overall, I recommend it
