I think it was worth getting. I like the new green color and I'm impressed
with the array of bricks you get with it. 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 about the design. It's okay, but I wouldn't have
bought it for the "Liberty" image alone!
Would it work for a town layout? I'm not sure! At first I thought it too
large to be used in a town. It stands 33 1/2 inches from the floor. But in
thinking about it and comparing it to a minifig, it might be closer than I
would have thought. It may actually be too small, if you figure a minifig
would be climbing inside and up to the top. I put a minifig up next to it
and to give you an idea of the scale, a minifig with the feet lined up with
the bottom of the chin would have the top of it's head even with the center
of the eye sockets. I hope that helps!
