There’s a link on each one to download the building instructions, including a PDF or the .lxf file.

Also check out this link: http://shop.lego.com/Factory

And most notably, this bit at the bottom of the page:

“Experience LEGO Factory Today! Use the LEGO Factory website and Digital Designer to create your own incredible models! Then, coming in August to North America, you’ll be able to order the bricks and elements to build your custom LEGO Factory creations in the real world - just like the Factory sets shown here!”

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!
