LEGO City 60046 Helicopter Surveillance

LEGO City set 60046, Helicopter Surveillance, depicts a police scene built around aerial surveillance and the pursuit of criminals.

Helicopter Surveillance is part of LEGO City Police, the section of the City theme focused on patrols, law enforcement operations and criminal pursuits. The subject is a police action scene with a helicopter presence, officers and suspects, rather than a licensed setting.

The figures are a policeman with blue shirt, badge, pouches, dark blue legs, dark blue cap and sunglasses, a criminal with prison shirt marked #86753, dark bluish gray legs, dark bluish gray hat, dark tan backpack and stubble, a policeman with dark blue jacket, zipper, badge, « POLICE » on the back, white helmet with visor and silver sunglasses, a policeman with blue shirt and dark blue cap with ear defenders, and a criminal with open black jacket over prison shirt, dark bluish grey legs, black hat and black eyemask.

It suits builders who want a police action scene for play, display or a wider City layout. Within City Police, it can be placed among sets that emphasize coordinated response, figure interaction and the contrast between officers and criminals.
