The new police helicopter is an above average set. Great parts, colors, and those hancuffs are perfect. A gun would have been nice though. It's also nice to have alternate stickers. I am going to buy another one of these to add them on. The police helicopter is a cheap way to enforce your towns.

Recommendation: meh 4.3 / 5 from 154 reviews

Overall, this toy is great! One thing I am VERY VERY HAPPY about, is the fact that Lego didn't add guns or any other weapons to this toy. Thank You Lego! I have a 4 year old son & guns are everywhere in kids toys. I think it is very irresponsible & inappropriate for the toy creators/makers of children's toys to add guns, knives, missiles & other weapons to kids toys! Again, thank you Lego for making a toy without weapons! This is labeled 4+ which is fine for the kids to play with, but if you have a 4 year old boy that likes to crash things up constantly & if you don't want to be putting this back together constantly, this isn't the toy for for you. A lot of tiny parts, so an adult needs to put together, a lot!. This helicopter is smaller than expected but its very cool. I think I'll stick with solid vehicles for awhile so crashing isn't so time consuming.

Recommendation: meh 7.8 / 10 by Zarkan

7741 is the definition of a run-of-the-mill City set – nothing special, and you get what you pay for. Still, this helicopter is among my favorite designs, and it blows away the mediocre Fire helicopter of 2005. If you already have several police helicopters in your town, it might be best just to skip on this kit – but if you have a hankering for a cheap vehicle kit, 7741 is an excellent choice.
