I posted the picture of the white prototype of the Statue of Liberty that will be available from Lego Direct later this year. At the bottom are two small slope pieces which are the actual color of the patina green bricks that the statue will be made (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.general) !

(...) and not in any way juniorized. Do you have any idea how much it'll cost, or if it's part of a series with other sets? I think I might get one, but I am wondering what else I could get (if possible), and how much it'll be. Alan (24 years ago, 15-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

The color will be unique to this set and is not like any color I have seen to date. It may be similar to teal, but it is not, and its hard to describe. The cost of the set is somewhere in the neighborhood of $200. Exclusive to Lego Direct. (...) (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

The color is almost EXACTLY what it is supposed to be - weathered copper. It is a light-to-medium green with a slight grey tint to it. Just think of heavily weathered copper, and THAT is the color. I can't wait to buy several of this set for (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

It's mostly bricks - 1x/2x for the statue, 2x for the base. I told one of the people there that we REALLY needed 2x2 and 2x4 slopes in that color for copper roofs. There are a VERY few 1x2 slopes in the model. (...) ***(URL) Visual FAQ home ***(URL) (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) I, too, castigated the poor TLC rep because the model doesn't include *any* 2x slopes at all-- how are we supposed to build roofs? I told her that the base should have a row of slopes around it, which would give many 2x slopes *and* four (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)
