Let’s go logging!
" This set is absolutely amazing. This is actually better than what I expected. (I knew it was great, but didn’t know it was this good.) The building process was so fun, and easy like most City sets, but was a bit different than normal. The Technic wheels was an interesting change from the normal smaller ones. There was quite a bit of studs on the side construction used, which was enjoyable. You get lots of pieces in lime green (I believe that’s the color), which is very useful, as well as the new bumper bar piece for 2018. There are also a number of interesting pieces, such as the sloped windshield. Once it’s completed, it’s simply a joy to look at and drive around. It’s a little confusing to tell which end is the front, but you can tell how the front is nicely smoothed and streamlined with tiles and slopes. The crane arm is amazing with so many posable joints - the ways in which you can move it around is almost endless! At first I was wondering if there was anything like this in real life, so I did some research and there’s totally is. It looks just like a Claas Xerion 5000 (see LEGO’s Technic Claas Xerion 5000 Trac VC). You also get a minifigure to operate the tractor, two logs, a log stand, some accessories, and a small green tree. This is absolutely amazing. An amazing set to build and play with, a great display piece, and a great parts pack. I highly recommend it!

One GIANT Helicopter!
" I recently purchased this set (it has been retired for a while), and I can say it is absolutely amazing!
Inside the huge box were 6 numbered bags, 4 instruction manuals, and 1 sticker sheet.
It was extremely fun to build, and just as much fun to play with. I will now break down my review into sections:

It was extremely fun to build, and just as much fun to play with. I will now break down my review into sections:
Minifigs: You get 5 minifigs, 3 police officers, and two crooks. The crooks still have their prison uniforms on.
The police officers, I think, look great!
The police officers, I think, look great!
Accessories: You get TONS of accessories, such as 2 pairs of handcuffs (plus one extra), 1 camera, 1 long range noise transmitter (not quite sure what it’s called), 1 rope, 3 gold bars, 3 money bills, 2 gems, 1 golden goblet, 1 wheelbarrow, 1 safe/lockbox, and also 1 wheelbarrow.
Bad Guy Car:
The bad guys’ car is cool, but very small (I think it actually might supposed to be a truck). It’s very similar in size to the bad guys truck from 60047 Police Station.
However, it really serves its purpose in having a vehicle for the crooks to transport their loot back to their hideout.

Bad Guy Hideout:
The bad guys’ hideout, to me, is probably the strangest part of the set. It has a cool lockbox with some money and gold bars inside and on top. It also has a pretty neat sliding door on the front. Other than that, it’s empty. The weird part, though, is I actually don’t know if the bad guys are supposed to be like living in there (there’s no furniture), or if it’s supposed to be a garage for their car. On othe back of the box, it shows them inside, but in another picture it show the car inside. It’s still really cool, though, and you have to use your imagination to use it!

The Helicopter:
The Helicopter is, obviously, the star of the set, and it’s HUGE. I have 60047 Police Station, and it is basically the same size as the station! I think it is basically modeled off a Sikorsky CH53 Super Stallion. It is constructed in an interesting way. There are a few interesting ways of using certain pieces, like using car fenders for the engine intakes. There are a lot of studs on the side construction techniques, so in the end it is still not the most complex (because it’s a City set), but it is actually probably one of the most complex City sets I’ve ever built (and I’ve built a lot of them). I love how there’s room for 2 pilots in the front, and the opening ramp at the back is great.
I especially love the sliding door on the side.

Although this is not really a complaint, I don’t really seem to understand the thing with the guy in the barrel and how he ties in with the helicopter. I guess it’s supposed be that somehow he finds the crooks in their hideout, finds a barrel, crawls in it, and takes pictures and voice recordings and transmits them to the Helicopter, and they come and capture the crooks?
Anyways, this is a GREAT set, and super fun to play with, so I would highly recommend getting this, but especially before the prices get really steep.
Highly Recommended!

" This is such a fun set! The truck is awesome looking, with that heavy duty, and off-road truck look, with big tires. The ATV’s are great too. The truck can haul both of them, one has to be in the back, and one on the trailer. You get two minifigures, and quite a few accessories. I got it because I particularly like racing and big trucks. Great value, very fun to build and play with. Highly recommended by me!

" This is a very fun, LEGO-themed keychain. It is a very cute, well-designed little car, with actually one of the sturdiest key rings I’ve seen! It’s a really fun way to have your keys, in LEGO style. Excellent!

Fun, functional LEGO decor
" These salt and pepper shakers are so handy! They are just the right size and dispense salt or pepper really nicely (the fine salt and pepper works best). I really like how you can just look at them and instantly tell which one is salt or pepper. I especially love that they are a giant version of the iconic 1x1 LEGO brick. They add a fun touch of LEGO to any house - I highly recommend it!
