LEGO City Police Heavy-Lift Helicopter 4439
Best Product From LEGO
Excellent set
The set has good detail without too many stickers being used and even includes some rare custom-printed bricks, the helicopter looks realistic, unlike some earlier helicopters and planes, and actually has enough people for every seat in it. While the set is good overall, there are some issues, these being:
1. The rotors, like on every Lego City helicopter and plane set ever made, have no connection so they can spin simultaneously.
2. The small blue tab piece on the cargo ramp used to lock the ramp closed cannot be retracted, so this gets in the way of opening and closing the ramp.
3. All three landing gear assemblies have independent steering and therefore make playing with the helicopter on the ground difficult by constantly causing it to taxi sideways when you want it to move forwards.
4. There's no way to lock the small buggy in place in the cargo hold, which is what I thought the little gray handles on the front and back were for.
5. There's no storage for...

A very nice large and sturdy vehicle
This was my 5 year old's first big Lego project, and he was able to do it in a morning with very little help. We see a helicopter like this flying overhead in our area fairly often, so he was excited to build it.
Once built, the helicopter, and six-wheeler which fits in the back, are sturdy and can be played with, not just displayed. This is more than I can say of most of the fragile Star Wars kits. As an added bonus, there's not a single gun or other weapon in the kit.
I also like how it managed a very realistic shape without resorting to many special pieces.
My Son Constructed This On His Own
There are few things in life that make a father more proud while waiting for school to begin. All 64 pages kept Junior completely occupied for the better part of the day. Talk about ironic, I could not even keep up with the builder. I was truly amazed at his construction and since I work nights reflected on how this set bolsters mechanical ability in this oh so fragile as he put it digital economy.
I would highly recommend this to any parent who's Son likes Lego's. Of all the sets we purchased this one was the hardest and he himself completed it with barely any parental guidance.
