Sum-up

The build: process was quite boring,nothing fancy but this will be due to the price of the set.

The Functions: The finished models functions are that the rotors turn via a nob at the back,the cargo bay door opens and the wheels turn.

Parts wise: it is a good set if you like small helicopter blades (there is six) and the black connectors are always useful.

Playability: Adults will probably not get too excited about this set. :blush:

Misc

A-model: Total instruction pages 33.

Building time: 1/2 hour

Designer: Grohl

Music listened to while building: Trance

Nice review. That made me laugh.

And by the way, you mounted some of the rotor blades the wrong way.

Amazing review.

Why aren't you a review academy teacher yet?

This set is ofcourse Lego's entry for the MINI contest, which will win it hands down. I mean, it even uses only 145 bricks.

Oh and lest i forget, It. Is. Designed. By. Grohl.

Do the pullback racers next Alasdair, this place could use some more of your weird Scottish brand of humour.

So if you want to be neutral in the poll you have to select last option?

Jokes aside, nice detailed review for such a small set.

Good review. Bought this set recently. It's a nice little set and the rotors are great. I bought it for the parts, it's worth looking into the smaller sets as they can contain some interesting parts.

Agreed, it's a pretty good parts pack. The blue panels were pretty rare before this set arrived, only appearing in 8052 IIRC.
