Product Description:
Whether by sea or land, you're always prepared for the rescue. And the rescue helicopter is equipped with a stretcher and a winch that actually work, so there's no situation you can't handle. The sky's the limit! Set includes two rescue officers and one civilian mini-figure. Cockpit, side door, and back door open. Back and top propellers spin. Includes 249 LEGO pieces.
Editorial Review :
Save the day on land or sea by flying boldly to the rescue! When someone needs help in Lego City, the emergency rescue team is ready to race to the scene. This 245-piece set contains everything that the included mini airborne rescue workers need to jump into action. Rush through the air on spinning rotor blades or hover overhead to coordinate ground crews. For dangerous spots, lower an emergency worker and stretcher to those in need, then use the working winch to lift them all to safety. When it's time to come in for a landing, the helicopter gently rests on three rolling wheels. Functional doors on the cockpit and sides allow easy access to supplies and personnel, while the rear door lowers to accommodate the stretcher. Included emergency tools attach to the helicopter or store neatly inside. An instruction booklet includes detailed color diagrams for assembling the helicopter, which measures roughly 12 inches from tip to tail. Once assembled, the helicopter provides plenty of opportunity for imaginative play, but rough handling will likely ground the chopper for repairs. This playset may be combined with other Lego City sets (sold separately) to create a custom Lego metropolis. --Heather Lyndon

The helicopter is cool, but it was a pain to put together, the pieces on this model didn't stay together nicely, or they were not reinforced enough to keep the helicopter together.
The propellers are forever falling off, the doors fall off, all the teeny tiny pieces come off. It's a pain to put it back together too.
It's a neat idea, I suppose you could glue the whole thing together, but what's the fun in that. Out of all our legos, this is one of the more disappointing. ... Read More

I bought this toy at target and I love it!
Pros: cool mini-figures, great design, roter blades fold up like the real thing, comes with strecher.
Cons: roter blades fall off easily if your not careful, after a while the part that connects the two rear landing-gear bends a bit, the winch is tough to wind up.
overall, I would recommend this set greatly!

I live below the flight path for our local Life Flight helicopter and my son and I enjoy watching it pass overhead when we can get outside fast enough. So we both enjoy playing with this set. The design, while a little funky, is still awesome - very Life Flight looking. The helicopter looks sleek, fast and efficient. The winch is a nice touch but doesn't leave much room inside for maneuvering figures around - that is the only real downside I found with it. I love the way different parts of the ... Read More

PROS: Very cool toy/model for a 12+ with extra time on their hands.
CONS: Too many microscopic pieces to count.
Very little room for open play.
Requires extreme caution playing with it because the propeller and other pieces fall apart at the slightest breath.
Not appropriate for under 7, at least.
First just let me say that my son loves the Lego Duplo blocks and spends hours creating all kinds of different designs with them. He has been ... Read More
