“While I really do like this set, and I think kids will have fun playing with it, I don't think that the Arctic Air Transport is a very good value overall. However, LEGO® kits go on sale fairly often. Even just a standard 20% off sale makes this set much more worth the buy,... More and would raise my overall rating to 79%. It is the cheapest way to get a saber-tooth cat too, which was the main selling point of this set for me.”

“Overall, the set gets credit for introducing a new type of vehicle, though its execution is about as rote as it gets for City sets.

More tag on this one is on the high side for what you're getting. For those looking for an enjoyable build experience, you're better off looking elsewhere.”

“The 2014 Arctic range set a high standard for LEGO CITY subthemes so a great deal of expectation has been placed upon the new models. Fortunately, 60193 Arctic Air Transport is an excellent set on the whole. I like the unusual design of the quadcopter which makes a welcome... More change from conventional helicopter designs and the sabre-toothed cat is tremendous, as we have come to expect of LEGO animals.”
