WesternOutlaw Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Fire Copter 1 This is FC-1, OVER. I'm making my way to Main Street now. The smoke is coming from the Legoland Hotel, OVER. That's a roger. I'm going to shoot the 500 gallon now, OVER... Fire in your Tabletown? No problem. Lego's set 6685 Fire Copter is sure to put it out - classic style. Set #: 6685 Year Released: 1982 Piece Count: 99 Minifigs: 1 List Price: unknown Here's a great fire-themed addition to your classic Legoland display. Starting with the instructions: The set includes one classic fireman with a nicely printed fireman torso: What a great little detailed helicopter. I love the use of the red and yellow colors: The front opens to allow your fireman to quickly climb in: In the back are two round yellow 2x2 bricks for the water supply and a hose connected on each side. Unfortunately, I lost one of the hoses. And the entire set. Isn't she a beauty? 6685 Fire Copter 1 is a great supplement to set 6382 Fire Station released one year earlier. After buying this great little set, I had fun puting out fires all over my Tabletown. Oops, I think I smell one now... Quote
Nikola Bathory Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 TheBrickster, thank you so much for all these reviews of classic Town sets!! OMFG, this set was released in 1982 and I was born 1 year earlier, hehe :) Nice little heli! Quote
snefroe Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 a great small set! i remember this set most of all because of the inverted window screen. loooooved the chopper, but never got it... another "5" please Quote
Holodoc Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Good, but I like the heli of set 6571 better: Another "4" from me. Quote
rriggs Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 A nice little model with some neat features for it's age plus the all-yime classic fireman as a bonus. However, this design of chopper (the police station around the same time was the same design) I think dated very quickly. While is was good to use the hinged car roof - which was relatively new at the time - together with the inverted screen it was superceded very quickly by designs that stood the test of time far better (for example 6657). Also, I don't think I could everbuy a Lego fire helicopter because it is not something we have in the UK/Eire. Police, Coast Guard, Ambulance, military, etc, etc but no fire helicopters. Not something I would therefore want in my Lego Town. Great review though. Many thanks again for doing these. Cheers Rog Quote
Darth_Legois Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Well its ok but its not great voted 3 Seems the classic town hater has voted a 1 AGAIN!!!! Will the madness ever stop!?! Quote
Justin Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I vote outstanding because it makes excellent use of the pieces that were available at the time. That cockpit makes excellent use of an inverted windshield. :thumbup: Quote
The Cobra Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I owned this set, and I loved it. Great idea to have the reversed windshield. Quote
