really cool looking model.  sounds like you got it at a great price (despite
the shipping charge from europe), especially for being brand new.

congrats on a cool set and thanks for the review!

Background:

I purchased this set MISB from a German onLine toy store after it failed to
sell on eBay. Price paid was only $5 over the original retail, but the $22
shipping and insurance was probably why it didn't sell.

ACCSESORIES: white stretcher (x1), brown suitcase (x1)

MODELS: There is one model.

       Helicopter-Of all the helicopters LEGO has made, I am sure many will
agree that this one is hard to beat. It is very big and very well designed.
The battery box is placed towards the front with lights and a siren. The
interior features a hinged airplane roof and inside is a small computer,
storage area, and seating area for the assistant. The stretcher can load
through a pair of hinged doors in the rear of the copter. There are two large
properllers in fron and back, with a motor desgin in the back. The rear wheels
are on turntables so they can turn the large copter smoothly.

OVERALL:  L&S models are some of my favourites, because they do a little
extra. I do like this model a lot and have no complaints. A great addition to
your LEGO town, and, best of all, this set usually goes on eBay for about the
same it went for in stores ten years ago (usually goes for $30-$45).

My views on CLASSIC TOWN as a theme:
By far the best sets ever made. Why not again LEGO? I love them. Everything
about them is just so wonderful. Detail, piece assortments, variety. Maybe it
will happen again one day.
