Copter:
A has the best copter, in terms of realism, but CS is bigger. IJ is a
dinky ho-hum copter like 1000 other TLG copters. Yawn. Rank: A (wide
margin), CS (wide margin), IJ (dead last by a lot! That copter is SO
boring).

Even though the CS cargo helicopter may be unusual, I've
always considered it to be the best minifig scale helicopter
from TLG (6462-1 and 6545 have potential for something
really good

Really! While I agree they have potential, I would have to say that the
BEST minifig scale copter would have to be the light and sound air sea
rescue copter, it looks a lot like the US coast guard ones. THAT's a big

As to the best overall copter, I'd have to go with 5542. Besides, it has
train windows and doors. :-)

Thanks for these chopper reviews. I had wanted to see a transport copter (kind with double rotors on top). I had no idea that there were already some made. Wish they'd sell some again w/o the light and sound expense. DJ Zorn To locate scans of (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) It's not minifig-scale, but I've always had a soft spot in my builder's heart for the 480 Rescue Helicopter from 1975: (URL) love the (unique?) curved windshield piece. But 6482 and 5542 are both excellent, too. -Tim (25 years ago, 6-Apr-99, to lugnet.reviews)
