Heavy-Duty Rescue Helicopter Reviews
“At the end of the day, 60166 is an easy recommendation for those looking to expand their collection of City sets. The US price tag of $59.99 is a little high, but compared to other City sets, you are getting quite a bit for your money. The finished product, as well as the... More process of getting there are both top notch, and really, it's hard to put a price tag on such well designed swooshability.”
“This set is a six star rating! Helicopter has lots of features, a good build and it is basically the same size as the Chinook Volcano helicopter. Detail is fantastic.”
