This set is one of the greatest lego sets lego have ever made, the opening door is great and propelers have got good spinning affect . cockpit is realistic and the police pilot fig is brilliant . you could probably only carry 3 prisoners or 3 passengers but never mind the rest is brill thank you lego really really thank you for producing this great set.People who love planes or people who like police very much should get this set at your local store today .

I bought this plane because my mum couldn't afford the Airport or the Cargo Plane, and anyway this plane is already half the price of a Cargo Plane and almost the same size as it. Once assembled, the plane is great and quite sturdy, but the wings are quite horrible and I wish they would use moulded large wings for it instead. If you plan to place a car or objects larger than the door in the cargo area, make sure you do it WHILE assembling that area. Once fully assembled, it's gonna be really really difficult to open the roof up and the sides so you can insert a car inside. However, if you have a motorbike (I am trying to recreate a scene from Indiana Jones in which Mutt's bike is also brought along) you can easily place it just by removing the wing, opening the door and push it inside. Then just place back the wing and tada. The rear wing is quite nasty and it doesn't look very nice. It's shaped the like end of a Fish and Chips fish and not a shark's fin.

Overall, this set is not bad, if you're looking to start an Airplane section in your town layout, get this one, it's not bad. If you have spare tiny wheels, you can transform this into a normal airport-landing plane rather than a pontoon plane.

This is my first pros/ cons review. Let me start off by saying, I like this set, it's just that the flaws stand out a little more.

Pros

• Large
• Floats
• Playability
• Looks good hanging off a ceiling
• The build
• Some elements rare

Cons

• One minifigure!?
• Should have come with a criminal, and a jail cell in the back. (Easy to fix)
• I received a white wing instead of a blue one
• STICKERS?
• The PRICE 18.6 cents a piece?
• Fragile

Overall I give this set a 6.2/10. This is a good set, but, could've been a lot more improved. I would recommend this set only if you're a City fan.

i bought this back when it was first realeased in 2008 and this was when i only just started collecting lego city. with my christmas money i popped into woolworths, searching for a set of city lego, this caught my eye, because it was on a stande, floating on water. i bought it and built it but because i dont have any police city sets or the airport or the harbour i got bored with it very quickly. really, unless youve got the harbour, the airport or some big police sets its no fun because whats the point of having it.

i hear you ask why 3? the reason i rated it three out of five is because its quite delicate and as i said, no fun without some sets to do with it. it doesnt float so thats a let down. but apart from that its held up by 2 long bricks, limiting the space for minifigures and litttle things, but with the detailed control panel and the classic lego city police character if you have a set to do with it, it will be a good buy. i wouldve rated it as a four if i ahd a set to do with it, which hopefully i will

thankyou for reading
