What happened with Statue of Liberty on LEGO S&H website ??? I can't find • it!
It seems that it's no more available ! Where can I buy now this set ?

Well, it's back on S@H and mine has arrived and I've built it.

However, I'm a bit bothered by a couple of things.

1. I seem to have a lot of leftover large parts, e.g. 2x8 and 2x6 bricks, but I
can't find a missing step that would have used that collection of bricks.

2. I seem to have a "hairline" fracture visible at the back of the head. As all
the box pictures are taken from the front, it's hard to say if this is how it
supposed to be, or whether I got something wrong.

Anyone else with one care to comment?

Kerry, I had the same situation--leftover 2x6 and 2x8 bricks. This really suprised me because I bought a damaged one with a gaping hole in the side of the box for 60% off--I figured that if I didn't have the parts, then I'd have a lot of Sand green (...)

(...) Hi Kerry, I had the exact same thing with mine. There is something weird with the design on the back of the head. I had to go over the instructions again and again to make sure I did it right. I still hated the way it looked. I don't know if (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) No, they're definitely extra - I was surprised at this too. I swapped a couple of bricks for "ordinary colours" with Lar (before building her), thinking I'd have to hide the swapped bricks in there somewhere (which I did), later finding that I (...)

(...) I found this photo of the back of her head (URL) few & far between!) It appears there's some kind of thing-ummy on the back of the crown - maybe it's meant to be a hair-tie? My guess is the "crack" is an attempt at modelling the detail in that (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) They are gone, unfortunatley. I was just about to order mine and it had disapeared from lego.com. I was able to get one, however, for my local FAO Schwartz. To get one, check your local FAO or amazon.com (if they still have any). (23 years ago, 26-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.general)
