“The Ambulance Helicopter is a solid buy, even at full price. You get a good looking set that comes at a nice value in terms of the cost per brick, as well as the build time that you get. The Minifigures are not super detailed, but every city needs men and women in generic... More uniforms as well. I like this set quite a bit, and my only major alteration would have been to make the roof one tile layer higher. That way, the paramedic could have fit into the rear compartment. All the same, I recommend the Ambulance Helicopter.”

About City Medical

Medical is the LEGO City line for doctors, paramedics and hospitals. It was part of City from the first years, with 7890 Ambulance and 7892 Hospital in 2006, and it returns every few years with new ambulances, rescue helicopters and air ambulance planes. Full hospitals are rarer, and 60204 City Hospital from 2018 is the largest, with a lift, a patient room, a helicopter pad and 12 minifigures. More recent sets put medical rescue together with the other services, as in 60371 Emergency Vehicles HQ, where ambulances share a station with other emergency vehicles.

Medical currently consists of 18 sets that as of now has run from 2005 to 2025. As of today, 60204 City Hospital is the most valuable Medical set with an estimated new/sealed value of $189.
Summary
City Medical Ambulance Helicopter set 60179 was released on November 26, 2017, retailing for $20, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $29, used ones can be found for $15.
