“Grandson, a very able LEGO enthusiast, loved this gift. Not terribly challenging (13 years old), but interesting for him following a summer trip to New York.”
“Hey, how ya doin'? I loved the Lego London skyline set (see my review for it below) and as a native New Yorker (Long Island to be exact) I new I had to get this one too. New York City, aka Manhattan, is one of America's most iconic cities and this Lego skyline set captures some of it's most famous landmarks beautifully. The detail in the Empire State Building is practically flawless, the Chrysler Building's famous stainless steel spire is nicely simulated and they even managed to recreate the triangle pattern of One World Trade, aka Freedom Tower, (at least as best as one can with square and rectangle shaped pieces). The Flatiron Building is also a nice touch and of course you can't have NYC without the Statue of Liberty (although, last I checked, she doesn't look like a Lego mini figure, lol!). Just be warned, One World Trade brings this model to around ten inches in height and it is about eleven inches long so if you are planning to add it to your collection be sure to make enough room, otherwise, hey, Fuhgeddaboudit!”
“I bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. I received it quickly and it was packaged well for shipping. It's an easier set than most to assemble, but is a very attractive model.”
“We bought this for our 9-year-old grandson for Christmas. He dumped out all the bags of almost 600 tiny pieces onto our dining room table, and proceeded to put these buildings together, using the included instructions, which are in a bound booklet. I have no idea how he found each piece that he needed, but he didn't seem to have trouble. It took him a couple of hours. The buildings are to scale. I only wish the Statue of Liberty was a little more realistic, but it is a minor issue. Our grandson really loved it, and it was a great holiday activity.”
