| | | | | | 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)

If I didn't like the new color, then I probably wouldn't think it was worth getting. As for the actual statue, I'm not wild (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)

So a minifig is 1:44th scale. (If I trash the math here, please feel free to correct me, (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)
