Volcano Supply Helicopter

An awesome lego set, I got it for my almost 5 y-old who adores volcanoes, and he couldn't be more thrilled. The volcano is great and does take some building. The instructions are very clear and he managed to build the whole thing almost on his own. He does have good motor skill and can be very focused when interested, but still, he's not 5 yet. The instructions are extremely well made, with close-ups and 1:1 size guides to check you picked the right piece. Thumbs up !! more less

I received this as a gift, and I built it really quickly. The overall helicopter look nice, but there is one detail that keeps me from absolutely liking this set. I think the only part where lego could have done better is on the tail connection. The connection is simply a gray and black tiles that connected the rear rotor and fin to the body itself. That may seems like a unnoticeable detail, but I am do not really like it, it look fairly thin, and looks like something is missing. I believed that a green two by six tiles to thicken the tail would made the helicopter look much better. I found this problem is many other city helicopters, and I would always add a few more tiles to make it look better. Lego could have easily tossed one or two more tiles and make the helicopter look better. more less
