Lego Statue of Liberty 21042 - Review, Facelift, and Comparison

Brook Johnson gives and overview of the Lego Architecture Statue of Liberty 21042. He first changes the face to look more natural (1:50), goes over set stats (4:02), compares it to an old set and a real life photo (6:52), and finishes with some collecting and investing advice (10:40).

I saw another "facelift" by JK Brickworks, but that looks very much like an Easter Island face. This one is still abstract but not as empty as the old face. I think I'll use this one.

I don't get why no one likes the face it's not that bad.

[lindaking]

I love the face and with such a simple fix. Thank you!

[DerHoschi]

This mini-facelift is great! I liked it before (and it bothers not that much) but I did it.

[Caleb]

The face looks almost exactly the same

[MrClassic.]

Best solution yet! The crown should come down a bit though, and I don't like the use of the shield piece on the side.

Just did this version of the face and WOW does it look so much better, you get a like

[nsbdnow]

Wow! The face was a deal-breaker for me on this one, but that solution makes me more inclined towards getting this one.

Yeah that Apollo Saturn V is probably the best value LEGO kit ever.

Official German price is and always was 99, 99 EUR btw. This includes 19% VAT

[Bandit-Darville]

I payed 78 euro for the Statue of Liberty and 71 for the Capitol. I think i did alright even though i will have it as a display piece instead of a sealed box.

Will you do a video on like the top 20 most expensive Legos per piece sets thanks love your channel

[ekingsley]

your video is amazing, just one little suggestion about the chart, if it is sold out, use red/amber, if it is still available, use Green, the RAG system isn't right.

[plerimest]

Everyone mentions the face but the right hand doesn't look like one either. :) I can live with the abstract form although I don't love it

[shlibookensteppah]

I like your fix, and I like JK's too. I didn't really mind the 2x2 shield face, since Architecture sets are usually somewhat abstract. The one thing JK's does address, is a nose. Lady Liberty has a pretty strong nose, IRL. I've been fooling around with other workarounds, and I've concluded what really needs to happen is a piece that doesn't currently exist, let alone in sand green. Try to imagine a modified 2x2 plate, with a rounded tab (usually with a hole in it.) This piece should not have the hole, and instead should be rounded up on all sides, 1 thickness, to 2 jumpstud oriented studs in the center. I think that would solve a lot of problems.

I got it for a bargain in the Netherlands for €85. Love this set

[dtown-fixs]

Saw you had Las Vegas on your release list. I know it’s not out yet but saw the Mandalay is being replaced with the Bellagio which is fine but, when’s it coming out?

I’m Architecture line fan but don’t buy every set and The Statue of Liberty doesn’t really do it for me. The no face bothers me but I may get it someday through amazon which usually has these sets cheaper.

I do have the Saturn V but haven’t opened it yet because one, I don’t really have a place for it and two, I’m waiting to see if it goes up after being discontinued.

Is the ''cheek and chin''-piece a piece from the extra pile?

[joost_schiphorst]

I liked that you compared other sets in that price range, I have the rocket and I will buy the statue

[jasoncwong]

Just bought a few of these in 2022 for 20% off. Hope I’m not holding it for 2+ years lol
