Good Quality - nice detail!
This is a little preliminary because I've just started i5. I just got it today.This kit has far more detail than any other Statue of Liberty micro-block kit I've seen. It's got more pieces just to make the BASE (gold) than all but one of the other kits in their entirety. The one that has more pieces for the kit than the base of this kit only beats it by about 150 pieces! if it maintained the level of detail of the base of this kit, there wouldn't leave much for the statue itself.From my figuring, there are over 850 pieces just for the base of the statue. The entire kits has more than 2500 pieces. That makes for a very detailed statue.The pieces, while small, fit together easier than many micro-block kits. They're not too loose and not too tight. You can actually pull them apart if needed and yet they fit nice and pretty smoothly.Whomever made the instruction book can't count! There is no step 22! It goes from step 20 on one page and then 21 and 23, 24, 25 on the next page -- no 22. That means there are actually only 149 steps to completion, not 150 as shown in the book. As is the case in many lego/lego-like building kits, I need to use my extra close reading glasses to be able to see the exact shape of the pieces in some cases. What looks at first to be a 1 X 6 black piece turned out to be 2 pieces of 1 X 3. The line separating the pieces was not easily seen without my 3x reading glasses (my bifocals didn't help).There is one item missing from the instructions that would be a big help -- especially in cases such as my example above and that is a list of pieces needed for each step at the start of the step. It would be acceptable to make the actual number of steps smaller and have sub-steps to allow for this. Then each page could have the pieces needed for that portion and call it by a step number and a, b, c, ... That list of pieces is important for ease of construction.The box used is slightly too small for the book. It has a 90 degree turn up at the open end because of being squashed into the box at the bottom.None of the problems that I've found so far are enough to cause it to lose a star.Additional note (edited): This SHOULD cause it to lose a star but I won't. I found 2 pieces missing but both could be covered by the extras. In both case, a single piece was replaced by 2 half the size of the missing piece so the change is minimal. However, even with the extra pieces AND counting the pieces for the 2 figures as 7 pieces each, the entire project was 120 pieces BELOW the given count of 2510 pieces. There were only 2390 pieces total in the kit besides the tool to help remove pieces as needed. That is false advertising!

Epic tiny model
So far it’s as advertised. Tons of detail and requires immersion into the effort. Kids like it. I like it. A win so far. Will Update if any pieces are missing because that would make me a crazy.

Great set!
The media could not be loaded. Very clear instructions. Nothing too crazy and it is very stable

Great gift for puzzle lovers
Was a gift for my 14 year old daughter who love puzzles. She sat right now and sent the whole day putting it together. Looks great when finished.
