Helicopter Transporter Reviews
Eurobricks
“If we compare Special Edition CITY sets, this one is definitely the best. It is well developed, well made and much more to scale than most of the others. The set would be useful for CITY builders and for those who prefer MOCs.”
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“This LEGO set stands out for its detailed truck cab featuring opening doors and hood, revealing the engine beneath, all in a cohesive orange color scheme that aligns with the towing fleet theme. The included motorcycle offers a refreshing orange hue, diverging from the usual black and white, enhancing its versatility beyond the towing narrative. The helicopter, reminiscent of the iconic Bell 47.”
