Recommendation: yes 5 / 5 from 52 reviews

This is the best LEGO helicopter that I've seen. It has a much larger size than the others, and I like that the nose section isn't one molded piece - which means there is more versatility for future LEGO projects. The sliding doors on both sides are nice as well as the hinged door at the rear.

This set is a six star rating! Helicopter has lots of features, a good build and it is basically the same size as the Chinook Volcano helicopter. Detail is fantastic.

Recommendation: meh 3.8 / 5 by Jme

At the end of the day, 60166 is an easy recommendation for those looking to expand their collection of City sets. The US price tag of $59.99 is a little high, but compared to other City sets, you are getting quite a bit for your money. The finished product, as well as the process of getting there are both top notch, and really, it's hard to put a price tag on such well designed swooshability.
