 One of my favorite lego sets Jun 19, 2008
By JD
The Coast Guard Helicopter is a real step forward compared to other more traditional lego helicopter sets. This set is large (2 minifigs can sit side-by-side in the cockpit) but more importantly it is life-like. If you compare this model to the Coast Guard Sea Stallion heavy helicopters you will immediately see the resemblance. Also, despite its imposing size this vehicle is much more durable than other sets I have built in the past. I really love this helicopter.
Comes with a very realistic looking life raft with sailor as well as a diver and two pilots.

My son loves his LEGO City Coast Guard. Wow!!! Great Price and no driving from store to store to locate and no sales tax. Quick delivery and great condition. LEGO's are a great mind building skill.

Pleasantly Surprised! Oct 10, 2008
By M. Heiner
This is the first set I purchased from the new Lego City Coast Guard series. I have constructed the smaller Lego helicopters before, and I was struck by the size of this set - it was larger than I expected. As noted in a previous review, it is wide enough for two mini-figures to sit side by side.
The helicopter has two doors on either side of the cargo bay, in which you will find a working winch. It works by pulling out the string/thread tied to it, then simply pressing a button on the passenger side of the exterior cockpit to reel the winch back in. My 3-year-old was especially impressed by this feature - he repeated the process some twenty times before I told him that it was time to stop.
The set includes a life raft and four mini-figures - the flippers included fit nicely on a mini-figure and are a nice touch. The helicopter is also solidly built - it has not fallen apart as of yet. Overall, my expectations were not very high for this set but it happened to surprise me.

 Fun to Build but Not to Handle Sep 05, 2009
By Mother of 3
My son is a few month away from being nine. He purchased this with his own money so it was a big deal with lots of Lego looking. He had fun building it but said that during the building process, pressing down on the Legos often led to part of the assembly snapping off, causing many re-builds. In the words of the Wicked Witch of the West "These things have to be handled delicately." Once finished, my son really likes to play and pretend with his Lego toys. They look very realistic and are just begging to be taken off display and actually put to use. The side doors on the helicopter break off almost every time he opens them, but he patiently reconstructs it again and again. The little raft is solid. The winch works great. Overall it was a good buy...it wasn't my money. Like other Lego sets we own, and we own many, they are much more fun to build then they are to use as imaginative toys once built.

Helicopter is an engineering masterpiece, but really not a play toy. Blades and wheels come apart too easily, and likely to be lost.
