Favorite helicopters

 Ok, I wasn't t a big helicopter fan in the past with the exception for air ambulance and rescue ops.  In legoland however, there are some helicopters that I always liked and some that I didn't care for. More and more I am liking helicopters and wish I had gotten some of them...

Favorites


This is the first helicopter I had.  I liked having a color coordinating set (police station) and the door was a new piece I'd never had before



Like the  color scheme, neat dark blue helicopter
This green is my least favorite color but the helicopter is full with a body that angles up to the tail piece.  Also I like the cockpit preformed piece, looks realistic to me
 I wish I had bought this set, I could have had a shark but what I like is that blue with gray color scheme


I like the covered wheel look but the pointed nose of the cockpit piece looked like a pencil tip

I like the above police helicopter because of the full body with a slope leasing up to the tail piece.
I don't remember seeing this model but always thought blue, yellow and black were a good color scheme.  Also the cockpit piece is rounded unlike a pencil tip!

I liked this set mainly for the windows and didn't really see the helicopter until later on with unboxing

I got these as target had a sale and I think that they were cheap




I liked the front detail on this helicopter and the detail compared to a similar model released about 2 years later

And last but not least, my favorite
I like the landing rails being full vs just simple flat plates



Least favorites


Least favorite...I don't know why except that they were older or technic or didn't like the colors

Lego show

 I did get to go to a lego show recently.  It was challenging getting around in a scooter but my wife did a great job taking pics








New York is in the 2 pics below.  Still have a deep sadness about trade towers.   Empire 


Launchpad below...love the girder/greeble look of the pad






Some fantastic talent.
