LEGO set 31029 Cargo Heli, released in 2015 as part of the Creator line, has 132 pieces. Its inventory breaks down into 60 different lots, across 9 colors.
Set 31029 Cargo Heli depicts a cargo helicopter as a standalone vehicle model. It is not tied to a story based licence, so its focus is the constructed aircraft itself, with the Creator theme placing emphasis on shape, build experience and a recognizable transport subject.
It can serve as a small display model, a play vehicle for cargo or aviation scenarios, or a compact entry in a Creator vehicle collection. Within Creator 3-in-1, it fits among modestly sized vehicle subjects that can be grouped with other mechanical, road or air themed builds.
