60093 - Deep Sea Helicopter

By LEGO Systems, Inc
Price $49.99
Age 7+

This new 388-piece build-and-play toy is so loaded with exciting, action-scenario inspiring components and accessories, such minute and varied detail, that even veteran LEGO kit-builders were oohing and aahing as the fun got under way. The impressively equipped submarine and helicopter make for rousing air and sea action interplay, while the 3 minifigures (submariner, pilot, scuba diver) appear ready for anything that might come their way. A good thing, too, because there are depths to be explored, treasures to be found, and a fierce-looking shark to fend off. Putting the various parts and pieces together is great fun. And when the building is done, kids immerse themselves in an endless series of storylines, treasure hunts, and rescue missions with feel-good happy endings of the sort that spring forth when children are deeply and happily absorbed in imaginative play.
