Hello!

I think that the flying helicopter is the most original of them as it's completely different from what the theme usually focuses on. However, I guess it's dangerous flying around in narrow caves.

Cheers,

Great MOC's from a single set. My favorite would have to be the little heli.

Thanks.Why everebody likes helicopter?

I dunno why everyone likes the helicopter. I like it too. I think it's probably because your brain sees "power miners" and thinks "oh, it'll be orange and lime drilling machines. That's all power miners ever is!", and then you click on the link and the first thing you see is a helicopter. It causes a surprise in your brain, which releases dopamine, which makes you happy. In other words, looking at your helicopter the first time ought to be a controlled substance (not really).

I like all of these models, I wish lego still included them on the boxes

Wow, these are all surprisingly good for the meager amount of pieces the set contains. I especially like the underground copter and the small drilling unit. You managed to make some really interesting alternate MOCS

Wrong forum (should be in Action Themes) but these are really good alternates. I like the Underground Copter the best. It looks like something the PM would actually use

Some really nice alternatives there - you've really shown the potential of this set. I too like the helicopter, but I also like the sled below it: it looks like a vehicle for traversing underground lakes.

Good work MantaMan!

Nice, you have a great imagination. I really like helli (nothing new ) and drilling unit - fits perfectly in PM theme.
