"I bought this to fill in time during lockdown. It was a fun distraction and there are some great touches. I got the lift to work fine. I would have liked to have been able to display it with the lift right at the top with the upper lift doors open, but the mechanism doesn't seem to allow this, as the lift drops when you get it to the top. Worth the money & a good addition to any Lego collection."
"Lockdown boredom to alleviate Lego shop's open again - towards it I gravitate Just finished the Sian what to build next From difficult builds I need a rest
Lego budget getting tight, which model would be right? Got some space on a window sill, so something to catch the light
The Empire State box caught my eye, I like these smaller repetitive builds, you don't have to tax your brain Just let the calming bricks their magic down on you rain
So not the biggest of builds but satisfying all the same The finished build does not look lame It has a kind of golden hue & looks just right on the window sill too. So I recommend this build to you"
"I only gave this 3 stars because of multiple problems with the building process. The finished model looks really good and I like the different hues of the green, adds a uniqueness to the model. The engine is well designed, & looks good so am mystified as to why the engine cover isn't hinged so it can be displayed with the engine visible. The doors are supposed to open but despite rebuilding for the 4th time mine stay shut, so be it. The main bonnet hinge was a real pain & I think badly designed. Very pleased that the logo's come pre-printed on the brick, makes for a much better appearance and should be the standard hence forth for these large expensive technic models."
