“Who ever designed this set I think tried to hard to incorporate many of the new element or brick pieces into it. The set's saving graces are a number of extra pieces I happened to get when opening this. Extra visor, extra light pieces, tail propeller and technic pieces for... More the tail.”
Full review at brickset.com
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The Fire Helicopter features a miniature helicopter and includes additional elements such as a small propeller, clear blue and yellow studs, a visor, a Technic piece, and a tail shaft piece. Although priced slightly higher at over 11 cents per piece, which some may consider steep, it offers a compact and detailed build experience.”
