Soooo...
4906 Helicopter
The Package
It's what catches your eye as the set lies on the shelf, and is the selling point.
This is a small plastic bag, unlike most LEGOs which are in boxes. Not the most eye-catching package, but it isn't supposed to be.The Instructions
Are they easy or hard to build from?
Bizarrely, there are no instructions. The closest thing is the picture on the front of the bag.
This is supposed to be the final product of the paltry 16 pieces. There is also an alternate model on the right side of the pack.
A weird, weird LEGO duck. Who would have guessed?The Pieces
The most important part of the set, and what I buy them for.
The 16 pieces in this set take up more room than one would think. There are not too many special or unique elements, though.
These are the only very special pieces here, the clear, transparent roof tile, and the smooth black propeller.The Complete Set
This is what it's for, people. The finished product of your labors.
Well, well, well. A helicopter. A bit blocky, and not quite proportioned properly. But it is most definitely a helicopter.
A comparison to the picture.
And yes, I built the duck!Final Thoughts
All in all, is the set worth the purchase? Or should you have kept the money?
This set wasn't actually available in stores, just through the Brickmaster program of 2007. It was included for free with the welcome package.
The set is certainly not very special. I would not go out of my way to buy this, but if one needs the pieces it has, then you should get it.
Well, that wraps up my second review! I hope to have a third up for the holidays.

You write good reviews, honey, and I'm not just saying that because I'm your mother. If you applied this talent to writing your English essays, you'll be getting all A's on your assignments. Now, go do your homework...because if you want to work for an ad agency, I'm sure the A's will be impressive.
now you have six votes... know who they're from?
Thank you for your clear, concise writing.
My son is interested in Brickmaster. Do you think it's worth it? I have trouble with the idea of paying so much for what seems to be so little.
I think that Brickmaster is worth it. Since it has exclusive sets and special magazines, as well as tickets and discount offers, it is worth its price tag.
