“Set 8640 was released in 1986 as one of 4 sets in the new Arctic Action theme. This set features rotating main and tail rotors and one of the new Technic figures with a helmet, skis, and poles. A very large number (24) of toothed connectors are used in the construction... More which allows the "bubble" shape of the canopy and also the skid supports.”

“The Polar Copter from the Lego Technic series belongs to the Polar World, a series of four models from 1986. Nevertheless, I still awarded it four stars in the overall rating because I think it looks great. It could almost be the most beautiful helicopter of the Lego Technic... More series. All in all, it’s a model which should not be missing from any collection.”
