 Coast Guard Chopper to the Rescue! December 30, 2008
The Carrlands Review (Ohio)
Great set. Santa found it on sale at for about half this price. The lucky 8 year old boy who received it put it together in a little over two hours by himself on Christmas day. He said the directions were a little confusing and he had to take a few pieces off and relocate them during construction. However he was thrilled with the final result and was happy to see the winch action on the chopper to pull in the guys from the life raft below. This is a great way for kids to learn how objects are assembled and develops great spatial-relationships for kids of all ages. Nice to have a life raft to further the play action/building time. By constructing this toy, he also had more questions about the Coast Guard, which gave us teachable moments when we went to see relatives who live by Lake Erie.

Looks great. My son wants this for his birthday.
I have found it for ~$40 at Walmart, Target, and Lego.com.
I won't be buying it here.
High quality lego model December 25, 2008
Nathan Beauchamp (Oak Park, IL USA)
My nephew and I assembled this set on Christmas day. The model is very nice with high quality details like an articulating rescue arm and 6-blade helicopter blades. This is a very fun model. It comes with 4 Lego men. Its nice to get quite a few lego men as many sets contain only 1-2. This one has two helicopter pilots, one boom operator/rescue diver and one engineer/guy needing rescued. The set is really two models: the helicopter itself and the rescue float.
This model does have a whole lot of decals to apply. It might be hard for some children to apply them correctly. This is the only downside to the model IMHO.
Build time was about 1 hour.
Great toy and quick delivery with no sales tax October 19, 2008

Pleasantly Surprised! October 10, 2008

This is the first set I purchased from the new Lego City Coast Guard series. I have constructed the smaller Lego helicopters before, and I was struck by the size of this set - it was larger than I expected. As noted in a previous review, it is wide enough for two mini-figures to sit side by side.
The helicopter has two doors on either side of the cargo bay, in which you will find a working winch. It works by pulling out the string/thread tied to it, then simply pressing a button on the passenger side of the exterior cockpit to reel the winch back in. My 3-year-old was especially impressed by this feature - he repeated the process some twenty times before I told him that it was time to stop.
The set includes a life raft and four mini-figures - the flippers included fit nicely on a mini-figure and are a nice touch. The helicopter is also solidly built - it has not fallen apart as of yet. Overall, my expectations were not very high for this set but it happened to surprise me.
