“This small helicopter, released in 1990, was the smallest to date at the time. It features rotating main and tail rotors. The canopy is constructed from liftarms and links. The liftarms lock at 90 degree angles, while the links are pinned. This particular little model... More looks vaguely like a Robinson R22.”

“The Night Chopper from the Lego Technic series is a typical entry-level model. The model of a helicopter is built here from relatively few individual parts. Of course you can hardly expect any functions. The Night Chopper is quite good in itself, so that there are a total of... More four stars in the overall rating.”

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
Summary
Technic Night Chopper set 8825 was released in September 1990, retailing for $9, but has since been retired. New, unopened Night Chopper sets are valued at $40, while used sets can be found for $4 in good condition.
