- December 16th, 2019Average rating5out of 5 stars5.0As beautiful as the real Empire State!Fastica | 35-44I would recommend this to a friend!Purchased for: SelfThis is one of the most beautiful LEGO sets. Construction is fun and not as repetitive as it seems. My only criticism is that, to my surprise, there is no spare grill tiles, and one of them came dented (see photo.) Apart from that, the set is perfect. The finished set is very solid and it's great for display. Totally recommended!2 January 2020Emily, Customer ServiceDented piece? Eeek! Don't worry, though.

- June 6th, 2019Average rating5out of 5 stars5.0TAN TILE TASTIC!Wellenflug | 45-54I would recommend this to a friend!Purchased for: SelfI love the Statute of Liberty set, so when I saw this I knew there was no point resisting. What caught my eye was the pretty accurately captured scaling and proportions that make this model look quite like the real building (Ok the yellow cabs might be oversized, but this is LEGO). For an Architecture set it is a good sized model and looks great as an ornament for those into buildings. There is a fair bit of repetition, but you progress quickly and it's very satisfying when you place the large expanses of tan tiled window sections. There are a couple of fiddly bits when constructing the lower podium section, but otherwise it's pretty straight forward. I think this is very well designed set and have been cleverly thought out to give nice fine detailing to the setbacks of the tower that take it away from the expected LEGO scaling. All we need now it for LEGO to bring to the Chrysler Building to complement this!
