(...) There are only about eight or so free pieces - 4 of which are the 2x2 cylinder 'R2D2' robot body bricks that aren't even used in the statue. If I remember correctly there were only two extra 2x4 bricks. Also a 2x6 and a 2x8 I think - not as (...) (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

A Question to those people who have the Statute of Liberty, how did you find it? Is it worth spending $300(CDN) on getting it or not? Would it work as the centerpiece of a town? (That's what I'm thinking of getting one for) James Powell (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)
