    The bucket that scoops water to put out the fire




    Pros:
    i) Two vehicles in one pack
    ii) Relatively quick build

    Cons:
    i) Hard to put pilot in cockpit. Need to detach the front area of the chopper
    ii) Hard to put driver in jeep. No moveable hinges
    iii) Water bucket could have been done better. Perhaps a mechanism to open the bottom of the bucket could be introduced.

    Yeah, its as regular as a fire theme set can be. Nothing much. Strictly for CITY fans only.

    I think the guy with specs should be driving the car instead of manning the helicopter hose. I have serious doubts on his ability to aim right!

    Wow, a 2010 fire set.

    The helicopter looks great even though with the large cockpit piece. However can lift up/lower the water bucket? It looks really funny that the bucket need to turn over for the water to come out Huh?

    As for the jeep, initially I thought you made an error in the placement of the radar, but turns out the driver sits on the the other side. The axes on the hood I think is to represent the handle bars on the hood; but can be used as instant weapons too! Cheesy

    The helicopter have the red classic town window piece that my old yellow airport set have for its red airplane. Looks like TLG did kept the mold. Also, some modding can turn this fire heli into an assault helicopter with dual Gatling guns on either side (parts take from Exo-force).

    Tuan, how many 'water' pieces were included?

    Which one do you think is better, this set or 3222 which comes with the limo?

    Depends on the observer. My son would love the limo. Blue heli, 4 minifigs, bigger car, more fun for children but I definitely prefers the Fire Heli, but with the cons that tuan mentioned it leaves some doubt. Just want to find the best set between the two that we booth can enjoy.
