Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5

The vehicle, minifigures, and tools give kids plenty of toys to create Arctic-inspired adventures and displays.

There should probably be another piece on the rear tail of the copter. The carrier basket falls apart pretty easily even though the beams are one piece each. Overall a great product. My Star Wars obsessed 6yo loves it and the younger once can play too bc they use the dog sled and do animal rescue missions.

Excellent helicopter, let down slightly by issues with the dog sled, but not enough to seriously affect the playability or enjoyment of the set.

All in all, it's a pretty good set. You get a six rotor helicrane, 4 huskies, and some other nice little elements. It's a good looking set that has value for money, and is very swooshable! I couldn't help myself…

Aside from very niggling faults such as the dodgy rotors, I can't objectively say that this is a bad set – it just didn't draw me in or inspire me as much as I thought it would.
