“21002 Empire State Building achieves its possible objectives well - it is a collectable package, an instantly recognisable recreation of an iconic building, and a reasonably interesting building experience. Whether this will appeal to the average AFOL or not is debatable.... More For a collector, or a casual dabbler looking for a little adult-orientated LEGO fun, I could recommend it.”
