“I'm probably just a harsh critic -- I like this set a lot. It just feels like it was sort of thrown together. I'm guessing someone over in Denmark built an amazing V-22 Osprey model months and months ago and TLG has just been searching and searching for a way to compile it... More into a production set. The result feels like a mish-mash of what seems to be two very promising but under-developed themes.”

“The lumberjacks and ATV are interesting but not a huge factor, I bought this only for the heliplane. It's really solid built, the tail fails off if it crashes too hard but otherwise it's all well-designed. There is some empty space inside for the winch, could have made the... More cargo area a little bigger or added a chair for a passenger behind the pilot.”
