Set 60162, “Jungle Air Drop Helicopter”, depicts an aerial expedition scene within the LEGO City theme. Released in 2017, it contains 1250 pieces and focuses on transport, exploration and fieldwork in the Jungle subtheme.

In City, Jungle, this set places the action around an expedition supported from the air. The central subject is an air drop helicopter used in a jungle exploration setting, shifting the City theme away from everyday urban services and toward research, logistics and adventure in the field.

The set contains 1250 pieces and 7 minifigures. The figure descriptions also identify details such as sunglasses, glasses, caps, facial hair and sweat drops.

It suits builders who want a larger City scene with a strong aircraft focus and enough characters to stage a complete expedition. For a Jungle collection, it works as a major support vehicle and helps connect smaller exploration builds into a broader field operation, whether arranged for display or used for story-based play.
