Nice LEGO set.
Easy to assemble. The bags are not numbered, so I had to sort everything out over several containers and then find the pieces from each container. Otherwise, it looks great!

Retailer reviews

Easy to assemble. The bags are not numbered, so I had to sort everything out over several containers and then find the pieces from each container. Otherwise, it looks great!
A nice thing to build with.
A nice souvenir of New York and much cheaper than buying it in the LEGO store, fast delivery and realistic miniature.
Reminds me of when I visited New York with my wife holds good memories

I have been spending a lot of time building/playing with Lego with our children. However, building Lego with small children, though rewarding in its own way, is not relaxing. That is why I decided to try this set out myself, without the kid's help. Overall, I enjoyed this set, but I do have several issues and items I can share for those contemplating trying out the Architecture line. This set was very repetitive, which, on first glance, sounds like a negative. However, I found the sorting and repetitive use of similar elements to be soothing. The limited number of colors used in this set helped to make the sorting process much simpler, but did make it a little harder to find pieces a little harder during the build. The Instruction booklet is very nicely laid out. I enjoy reading about the places which the build represents. I would have preferred if the beginning section were spread out throughout the book, with facts about each building coming right before you built that building. The instructions begin with the all black base the set rests on. This consists mostly of plates with some tiles. However, there was an interesting section with some bars towards the end of the base build that inspired me to wonder where this would be leading. Next, you build the Statue of liberty. the statue itself is represented by a sand green microfigure, which is fun, but it is small and the base is not that interestsing. After that comes the Empire State building. This structure is covered with 1x2 tan grills. It does use some interesting techniques, but it was the most repetitive part of the build. The Chrysler Building was mostly just stacked plates and jumpers, but did have a interesting top section. My biggest complaint with this building was the difficulty of disassembly. All of those stacked plates are a pain to seperate. I was underwhelmed with the Flat Iron Building. It was essentially just stacked wedge plates, but it was small and easy to complete. One World Trade Center was the most interesting part of the build. It utilized some innovative techniques to accomplish the offset structure of the various levels. Overall, I enjoyed building this set alone. It really has no "play value" as it is just a display piece. I enjoyed this build enough that I did later purchase the larger Statue of Liberty sets to go with it.
My almost 7yo son purchased this set from Target with money he received for getting straight A’s on his report card. He is very into Lego and can build sets that are more advanced for his age with minimal help (usually the only help he requires is unsnapping pieces or locating pieces from a bag) He had this set built in about 3 hours. He loves it. He also has built the London architecture set. Considering the Statue of Liberty for his 7th birthday.
Nice building set, also looks good as a decorative item.
Easy to build, works well with other skyline series sets.
I haven't started assembling it yet, but I'm sure it's a nice product. The delivery was super quick, so I definitely recommend it.
My 7-year-old son (a LEGO fan) can already put this together with the instructions, so I assume the 12-year-old age recommendation is not a major issue.
Instead of this article, we have received medication.
After building London and Paris I thought I’d get this New York to complete the set. It brought back memories for me too. I have to say this was my least favourite to build. The towers were repetitive. Quick to build. Price could be cheaper.
When I was a child, the only Lego sets I collected in the early to mid 90s were earned through a promotion with Kellogg’s cereal where you mail the form with several UPC codes, if I remember. It was four sets of 30+ pieces and were of a race car, glider, boat and helicopter. Fast forward to now, I win this set at a company raffle and was hooked after that. I took 4 hours of uninterrupted building. Mentally, I did get a little frustrated during the built. After each completed task, I felt I’m never going to finish, even with this 598 piece set. I wanted to be easy and finish fast. I didn’t enjoy at first as I hoped I would. So I forced myself to break it down brick by brick and start over. I needed to take time building and enjoy it. I need to work on my patience as well. Mind you, this review is not a dig towards Lego, this was personal things I needed to work on. In order to test my patience for the rebuild, I purchased a lighting kit for this set to make it mow challenging. The rebuild took over the course of 5 days each, one to two hours each day. And voila! I found the enjoyment of building my first Lego set a second time. Bravo to Lego and it’s Architecture series. I’m an engineer by trade and really come to appreciate the little details of each brick, component, and building of this set, and many sets that followed. The spare bricks and little statue were a plus. Looking forward to building other Lego sets!
Nice LEGO set, it's something different.
super
Nice build, well designed.
This build is a lot of fun. I love New York and it was fun building each of the monuments/towers up. I will look at the other skyline sets after my experience with this one.
I love this set! It was so much fun to build and it looks amazing when finished. It's not too big or small so it's pretty easy to display, and it adds a nice touch to any room. I love the attention to detail, especially the miniature Statue of Liberty. The only issue was there was one error in the instructions, but it wasn't too hard to get past. If you're willing to spend $60, I think this is a great thing to spend it on!
I am an avid Lego fan and I just got back into builidng sets as an adult. I’ve built and enjoyed the Lego architecture collection including the Paris and London sets. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this New York City one though. I was missing crucial parts that had to be ordered separately (thank you to Lego for being so quick and accommodating to send the missing pieces!) Then, when I continued to build, I was not able to complete the freedom tower because the pieces did not fit together according to the instructions. I tried everything I could think of including trying to see if I could use other pieces in different ways with no luck. I wouldn’t recommend this set, but I’m still a huge Lego fan and will continue to purchase in the future, I just wish I could have used this money to purchase something else.
