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 definitely prefer the Brickworks face. The real Lady Liberty statue does have a very prominent nose. This mod is too similar to the blank looking original.
Of course it includes the VAT! Not the dumb Pricing like in the USA. And by the way the Berlin Set is still available in manny Stores (like Toys r us).
Snoert87 I don‘t really get why BrickPicker compares US prices without VAT to German (and I assume other) countries‘ prices with VAT. The same happened in his latest video. At least there should be some kind of note in the price table...
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.
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.
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.
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.
for the JK Brickworks facelift. Brook's mod is very nice but using the shield plate might not be the best way to address hair side. ruclips.net/video/GwN4F48Q-IQ/видео.html
From the shoulders up, the figure is just awful. And it's not just the shapeless face, it's the blocky arm and the very unusual choice of the 1x1 cone pieces on the back of the neck. I mean, I can't even understand what their thinking is with the design of the back of the neck?!
Eh it's ok. JK brickworks is ok but masculine. Why can't you bring it down one stud like you first did before fixing so the crown can sit down more. Crown is too high.

I love the face and with such a simple fix. Thank you!
This mini-facelift is great! I liked it before (and it bothers not that much) but I did it.
Just did this version of the face and WOW does it look so much better, you get a like
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.
Wow! The face was a deal-breaker for me on this one, but that solution makes me more inclined towards getting this one.
I don't get why no one likes the face it's not that bad.
John Fisher me to, it's just a kinda style. But I still understand that people want more detail
Check jk brickworks
CoyoteXP his face is cool but looks more like a men
Joost S391 still better than this in my opinion
The actual statue's face is fairly "man-ish". www.bergamopost.it/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/statua1-659x297.jpg
The face looks almost exactly the same
UNCLE UTTERS more round like he sad, looks better then it was (smoother)
Yeah that Apollo Saturn V is probably the best value LEGO kit ever.
I got the Saturn V for $100
Will you do a video on like the top 20 most expensive Legos per piece sets thanks love your channel
you do very thorough work
This set is still not retired.
Official German price is and always was 99,99 EUR btw. This includes 19% VAT
Of course it includes the VAT! Not the dumb Pricing like in the USA.

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

great video!
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

I got it for a bargain in the Netherlands for €85. Love this set
Belgium : 70 EUR.
@@kamvans € 63,50 right now in the Netherlands.
Might buy it now - the face still bothers me though, but the modification certainly looks better!

Just bought a few of these in 2022 for 20% off. Hope I’m not holding it for 2+ years lol
Great job
I liked the original flat Lego face
Is the ''cheek and chin''-piece a piece from the extra pile?
I’m fine with the original face

Totoro I think it's supposed to be hair or something. I agree it's not very nice looking
Jk brickworks head is better
LegO scar I like jk solution where to get the pieces from the model, but this face looks better for me, more feminine
Channel X I think I am going for the jk head then
I think JK Brickworks' version is way too harsh, while this is much more subtle and fits in much better.
LegO scar - Both are way better than the LEGO version.
Jos Schoenmaker agreed
make more videos plx
I wish we can buy the World Trade Center from lego
looking like Jeffrey dahmer
Eh it's ok. JK brickworks is ok but masculine. Why can't you bring it down one stud like you first did before fixing so the crown can sit down more. Crown is too high.
Dennis J I think the crown rests on the piece he put on the side, so shouldn't be too hard to fix this I guess
The face is supposed to be abstract
I don’t follow the instructions I can make it without them
CRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Jang bricks and jk brickworks is better
Jangbricks hasn't come up with a custom face for this, has he?
Cringe
Architecture= rip off
