"This model reproduces the flowing robe of Lady Liberty through clever placement of bricks to create an illusion of fabric draping and folding. LEGO designers studied the actual statue's proportions and translated sculptural curves into stepped brick construction that maintains recognizable silhouette while working within LEGO's geometric constraints. The detailed pedestal features shield elements, decorative brick patterns and columned balconies that mirror the real monument's Fort Wood foundation."
"The seven-ray crown sits on Liberty's head, each spike individually made and placed to reproduce this particular headpiece. The tablet clutched in her left arm shows the date "JULY IV MDCCLXXVI" in raised LEGO lettering, celebrating American independence. The upraised right arm clutches a golden torch that serves as the model's focal point, catching light and drawing eyes upward just like the real beacon."
The LEGO Architecture Statue of Liberty is a 1,685-piece model that reproduces key architectural features of the monument. The set dropped to $80 on Amazon for Black Friday, reduced from its usual $119. LEGO designers translated sculptural curves into stepped brick construction to capture the flowing robe, recognizable silhouette, and detailed pedestal with shield elements and columned balconies. The seven-ray crown is individually built, and the tablet displays "JULY IV MDCCLXXVI" in raised LEGO lettering. The upraised right arm holds a golden torch that serves as the model's focal point. Typical assembly takes about 8 to 12 hours, providing meditative, focused building sessions and a tangible display piece.
