5.0 out of 5 stars Take off with Lego Copter Set!, October 10, 2008

Terrific set and excellent value. Build fantastic action vehicles that use the unique Power Function, a wind up winch brick to make models that move! The cover model is a fabulous cargo helicopter that actually winches up a cargo platform. All three models in this 3-in-1 Creator set are very realistic, as well as satisfying, fun builds. Alternate models include a single engine hi-wing monoplane with wind-up propeller props that spin by themselves, or a cool speed boat with power retractable anchor and two outboard motors that swing into up or down positions. Excellent building fun and play value once built. See a great video review, Bills' Creations - Lego Cargo Copter on UTube.

The set is not too far off from a Sikorsky Skycrane. The winch works nicely. The set also has directions for two other models. Amazon's $19.99 price is a good value.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not power Functions compatible, November 30, 2010

By 

LouieIV (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: LEGO® Cargo Copter (Toy)

The only reason that I gave this 2 stars (and not 5) is because even though it says 'Power Functions' on the box it is not made to be compatible with a Power Functions motor. Instead it has what amounts to a wind up winch that is much smaller than a Power Functions motor and therefore not interchangeable.

As a stand alone toy with out the expectation of being able to use the PF motor it is a great set.
