Coast Guard Helicopter and Life Raft

7738-1 City 2008 446 parts 3.4% repair risk Intermediate

The LEGO Coast Guard Helicopter and Life Raft (7738-1) stages a vital maritime rescue operation. A robust Coast Guard helicopter, measuring 33 cm long, features a detailed cockpit for its pilot and a functioning searchlight for spotting stranded boaters. Its main rotor and tail propeller really spin for dynamic play, while landing gear with wheels allows for smooth ground maneuvers. The helicopter's side panels open, revealing a stretcher and essential equipment for first aid. Four minifigures, including the brave Coast Guard crew and imperiled civilians, are central to this dramatic scene. A self-winding winch extends from the aircraft, designed to hoist the emergency life raft, whose sides notably open and close, keeping its occupants secure from the patrolling shark figure below.
