While the [tiny plastic bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creator-expert-colosseum) are often associated with a very particular visual language, the design seen here challenges that with an aesthetic that is modern, artistic and quite mature. This makes it a suitable toy for even adults to appreciate that is available for purchase in a kit under the Architecture series from the brand. The LEGO Statue of Liberty eliminates a series of characteristics in favor of a more modern appearance that brings the brand into a new age where it can be appreciated by those with a penchant for high-end design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Modern Landmark Toys:** There is an opportunity to create more modern landmark toys that appeal to both children and adults. - **Geometric Design Aesthetics:** There is an opportunity to innovate with more geometric design aesthetics in toys and other products. - **Mature Toy Design:** There is an opportunity to create more mature toy designs that appeal to adults and reflect current design trends. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry can explore creating more mature and modern designs to appeal to a wider audience. - **Architecture and Design Industry:** There is an opportunity for the architecture and design industry to collaborate with toy brands to create modern landmark toys that reflect current design trends. - **Gift and Souvenir Industry:** Toy brands could target the gift and souvenir industry by creating more modern and sophisticated versions of traditional souvenir toys. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iconic Artwork Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-art-mona-lisa-set.md) - [Intricate Architectural Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trevi-fountain-model.md) - [Historical Architecture Game Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-notre-dame-set.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Legos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyns-architectural-history.md) - [City-Focused Postcard Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcard-series.md) - [Eiffel Tower-Inspired LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eiffel-tower-lego.md) - [Big Apple Toy Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/machi-town-new-york.md) - [Contemporary Art Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-art-building-set.md) - [Geometric Design Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-little-toy-by-eames-office.md)
