Missing Pieces —ongoing issues with LEGO
Fun build overall, but like many sets I’ve purchased directly from LEGO, it was missing pieces at critical points in the build. I ordered them through the online reclamation process, but this is getting very annoying that every other $100+ set I purchase from LEGO I have to stop the build and order missing pieces.

Statue of liberty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Totally enjoyed building it the only thing is no face I understand why but even though I'm not a fan of stickers it would look better with a face

Excellent
There are five stages to this build.
All was well up to the fifth stage. The fifth stage consists of largely small parts. There have been four pieces missing to complete the build. Very frustrating. And I do mean frustrating.

Not worth it - poor details
Very disappointed with this build, to the point I felt obliged to return it which I had never ever even considered for a Lego set.
The level of details on the statue, especially the face and the book is really poor which is very unfortunate because it draws all the attention of the build.
For background, I’ve been very pleased with the other many architecture builds I ...

Missing some pieces
I really enjoyed building this set, it was a fun and satisfying experience. However, I was disappointed to find that some pieces were missing. This meant I had to improvise by searching through my Lego box for similar pieces, which wasn’t ideal. In some cases, I even had to reorder the missing parts, which was a hassle and delayed the build. It would be great if there w...

Didn't love it
The base looks really good. The statue only looks good from a distance. There is no face, only a brick. The instructions are printed on black paper, which I don't like. I found this build tedious, but I'm not sure why.

Surprisingly awesome build
Awesome detail in this set, I never noticed the base before building this set. Learned some interesting facts about its origin and design. Looks great on display. My daughter asked if she could keep it in her room, so that's where she'll live!

unhappy
I am finding the top part of this build incredibly difficult, nothing seems to fit as it should, have dismantled it twice and redone it in case I am doing something wrong but stilll not fitting. May give it to my son

A quick, enjoyable build
It took almost no time to complete and was a nice change. It can be a bit repetitive building the base, but the statue is quite unique. I am not a fan of the face, I feel something else could have been done. It's actually more rugged than it looks

Disappointed with this Build
I love Lego Architecture. I have built the Taj Mahal, Pyramids, the World Globe, New York, Tokyo, San Francisco and Singapore. I was excited to build the Statue of Liberty. The bottom part was beautiful and easy to assemble. However, when it came to build the statue, I ran into issues. The directions were not that clear, there were many, many tiny parts that came...

Small but Mighty
Love the set, but dang are some of those pieces small enough to make your fingers ache if you do it in one sitting. Actually had to submit a request for replacement pieces as I was missing 3 flat tiles in the last bags.

Nice figure, though painful
I found this build to be repetitive, and the fact that the structure is mainly two colors made this somewhat boring to build. In addition, the similar shapes of some of the smaller blue angled pieces of the draped dress were at times infuriating.
I know I mis-placed a piece or two, but swear that even if I’d built this 100% correctly the statue part itself should never...

One of the Best Legos
This was so much fun to build and the designers did such a good job. This is one of my very favorite and isn't coming down, it has a special place in my home.

Love the set, but…
I love the incredible detail on the body and the pedi stall or whatever you call it (lol) but there is one thing. The Face. The face is pretty blank. It is just one shield piece. I reckon they could’ve done something on the face.

Uncertain of the quality
I was excited to begin working on this build. I got almost to the top of the base before I ran into problems... I pushed through and wouldn't you know that the statue leg doesn't fit as it should and the face plate is missing a piece. I am quite sad about the finish because leaves me feeling some sort of way due to the face not being finished.

Response from Staples :
If it seems like your set isn't coming together as expected, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be on the inside. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. If anything is missing or not looking right, feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV!
