“Set 253, Helicopter and Pilot (1975), is a piece of LEGO history. Designed for younger builders, it features a Maxi figure with swivel arms and a simple helicopter build made from 49 basic parts. While modest by today’s standards, the alternate builds and nostalgic design capture the essence of vintage LEGO creativity.”
 

About Building Set with People

Building Set with People ran from 1974 to 1980 with a majority of the sets released around 1977 and was a subtheme of the Homemaker brand designed to appeal primarily to girls. Most of the sets contained Homemaker Figures, also known as Maxi-Figs or Maxifigures, and the sets were about building items such as vehicles and room settings like a hospital, school classroom, a beauty salon or nursery for the figures and centered on domestic and suburban life-based settings. Building Set with People sets are typically vintage LEGO and such are very hard to come by in new and sealed packages.
