OK, so 2 + 2 will give us 5...
We have access to the .lxf files, we have access to the means of ordering the
sets individually.
Basically, what we’ll need to do is rip out the individual models we would like
and then order them as a single entity. Hopefully the price point will make
this a good deal, as I was hoping this would be my chance to buy an affordable
Statue of Liberty. But, the price on this one is still prohibitively high.
Now, to play the waiting game...

Nice catch, John. You figured out what I saw pretty quickly too. Possibly,
LEGO will be able to track the submission of an individual copyrighted model
design like Nathan’s SoL, but you never know. The cat’s out of the bag, so
we’ll have to wait and see. There’s enough hidden elements in the SoL to
customize and submit as your own anyway, but we’ll see if they planned on that
adequately...
They should have kept the design files private, I guess.
Grab ‘em while you can.
Welcome back!
