The disgraceful demise of the City theme
This set is exemplary for the demise of the City theme, due to the already bad and lazy design made even worse by the accountancy department that seemingly commanded to spare on parts. As a result, the truck might be okay (although it makes no sense to not even include doors or a proper seat for the driver!), but the trailer is a real disgrace: an average 8-year-old could have done a better job. It looks cheap, it cannot be moved properly (due to the rigid axles) and screams "parts rationalisation!". As for the helicopter, it looks unfinished, with even the body missing a lots of parts - and the inside is just an unispired emptiness. If Lego continues to abuse its fans over the City theme with more uninspired sets (that are overpriced for their sloppiness), it will lose even the last of its fans. As for me, sadly I cannot recommend hardly any of the current City sets for my or friends' kids. Lego, in the past you showed us that you can do an amazing job. Please quit screwing up the brand and get back to your old solid self!

Hours of fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set was a lot of fun to build, and both the helicopter and truck are a big hit with our kids. So far they remain intact, which says a lot for our family of builders. Both minifigs are a nice addition to our collection as well!

Entertaining
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My child enjoying this Lego Helicopter put together. He had so much fun trying to build something. He finally made the helicopter on the picture of the box. We all enjoyed helping him. There is a lot of pieces and many things you can put together. Recommend you go out and buy one for your child.

Fun Set with a Few Play Issues
This set has fun play potential with a good sized medical transport helicopter in a bright new color with a tractor trailer truck rig. The build is simple enough for younger children appropriate for the 5+ age suggestion. The minifigures look great as well. I do have a few issues that drop the value of this set for me. First, a patient minifigure would add a lot of play value. I suppose the chopper could transport the truck driver, however he seems find without injury. Second, the 4-wheeled truck trailer is difficult to turn and backup. It isn’t realistic either. Two tandem wheels matching the tractor tires in back would be much better for play. Third is my major criticism. The helicopter rotor blade isn’t secured by a chain or stop meaning as you drive through your LEGO city streets the rotor will swing and smack into everything on either side. The previous helicopter transport had a nifty chain to secure the rotor blade and was an overall better set. These issues result in just an average rating for me and would have bothered me as a kid.

LEGO is the BEST!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 6 yo daughter loved this LEGO set. She is really great at putting them together, and was able to get this one done without much help (she's had a lot of practice with other sets too!). She especially loved the spinning rotor on the helicopter. All the pieces were there and durable, obviously. Great set!

So much fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Rescue Helicopter Transport was a bit more challenging Lego set that my son (7) and I have attempted. He absolutely loved it though! The instructions were easy to read and the pieces were kept separate enough to know which ones went where. The real challenge was when he took it apart and tried again with all the pieces in one big pile. This will keep them busy for hours!! Great toy!
