The third of four reviews this evening. This is a £29.99 set and it's pretty cool. So without further ado...

The box:

The contents:

Bag 1:

Bag 2:

Truck chassis under construction:

Bag 3:

Again, we have a colour issue with the oranges failing to match:

Bag 4:

The Minifigs:

Motorcycle:

Truck:

Opening bonnet and engine:

Trailer:

The helicopter:

The set:

Despite early reservations, I really like this set - the Minifigs have cool torso prints and the chopper is really nice. The truck has an opening bonnet and the trailer lots of neat features like a moveable rear axle section, cupboards, fire extinguishers and an oil dispenser. Shame about the orange problem though. I give this one an 8 out of 10.

Being a pilot in the making, I relly like this set. It is almost positively on my buy list. One question though, why are these out already?! :shock:

Thanks for the nice review (or reviews I s'pose) this looks like a pretty cool set, i may buy it then modify it to fit into my army (that is assuming that I have the money of course).

He's Dr. S. he gets what he wants when he wants, duh

No really I have no idea, I guess Lego just decided to ship out their latest lines a bit earlier than expected; who's to complain eh?

It is, I bought mine at Toys-R-Us for 39.99 USD. It's so cool that I may buy another soon.

In my opinion, this is one of the very best trucks since the arrival of the 6-stud standard size.

It's an odd model (how often have you seen a helicopter being transported on the road?), I'm not sure it'd fit that much in a town, but kids are going to love this because of the playability.

Having grown up during the era where lego bricks were 3-colours-only-plus-the-greys, I'm always fond of sets in orange, green or brown. But isn't it now going a little bit over the top with the amount of orange vehicles? And if orange is the current lego standard for repair service vehicles, how is this truck one of them?
