LEGO City Police Helicopter Chase 60244 Police Toy, Cool Building Set

Like everyone said, this chopper does not work, but what disappointed me was Lego's responses to the various comments above. They are not accepting the problem reported but instead blaming the customers for lacking practice. No matter what practice you do, this chopper will never ever fly since it does not have back rotor. It is too heavy to lift itself in the first place but even if you pull too hard and remove the lego character to make it lighter, it will spin uncontrolled way. There is a reason real choppers have a rear rotor. The movie Lego displays is bogus. They have cuts so that they do not show how the chopper does not work. I wish I had read the above comments before buying. I also wish Lego, such a big company, listens to the comments from the customers ... MoreLike everyone said, this chopper does not work, but what disappointed me was Lego's responses to the various comments above.

As with the Fire helicopter, the police helicopter does not fly. A child can't pull the cord hard enough to get it in the air and when it is in the air it doesn't fly, just spins out of control and falls, Very very poor build. My son loves lego police and loves the trucks... but the helicopters in the 2020 set are TERRIBLE how they got through quality control is beyond me.My son just plays with the truck and mini figs. So if you want a new truck go for it, if you want an interactive flying helicopter... don't bother.

My 5-year-old son eagerly anticipated this set. He waited days for the post office to deliver it. He told everyone about it.It finally came, and while he had fun and was able to build it independently, no one in our house could get it to fly the way the video and ads demonstrated. He was really bummed. I hurt my hand trying to pull the cord fast enough.I’m sure based on the above reviews, Lego will reply and say I should watch the video for tips and tricks. I did. Still failure to launch.Buyer beware and let your kids know to lower their expectations.
