I’m really interested in this one. For those complaining about the price, I remember that the 839-piece Lego City 7939 Cargo Train retailed for $239 CAD in 2011. This one is currently $269 CAD and it has ~2.5 times as many pieces.
i got this set for my birthday and it is amazing! the motorised functions, the gearbox, it is really fascinating how they fit a motorised gearbox in that small space
Yes will be getting one for sure. This is definitely among one of the more classic technic sets with plenty of functionality and ok looks. Lately technic is following the 1 good 1 bad set theme. Heavyduty tow truck vs Mercedes trial truck, and now helicopter vs material handler.
I totally understand. But for me, the $400 Canadian price tag is just too hard to digest. The tow truck cost half as much and I even got it for 20% discount.
I have never had more fun building a technics model. Even during the build I was having fun speculating on how each main part was going to be deployed. The only downside was not discovered until I tried to show it off - a lot of the cool stuff is buried behind the tail panels - I wish they had designed them to open out like the front doors.
Ok but can we talk about the motor costing 10 cents in this branded set? I already love this set, seems like an absolute 10/10 and I'll definitely get it, even though I said I'd have a lego break, lol
An amazing set indeed! I've just finished building it and I want to thank you for warning us about the weakness in the "clutch" on the winch. I found a way to make it more resistant to torque. I replaced the tan colored axle that runs through the black "wheel" and grey 16t. gear with a dark grey nr. 4 axle with stop, in such a way that the stop is wedged between the black wheel and the end of the technical pin. This gives the pin more stiffness in its rotation.
My kid wants this set for Christmas - and I mean *really* wants. He's very young for it (Just 7), but having seen this review I think we're going to go for it. As you say, it's very "old school" technic - the stuff that got me interested in the mechanical world at that age.
Thanks for the amazing reviewI. think I'll get this set for christmas - finally my second Technic helicopter after 852 from 1978 which I rebuilt last christmas. Hope they release more motorized stuff in the future again like in the PF era. I also got the tow truck last year which also was a cool functional set. But I also want to buy the DeLorean Time Machine and a Stand Up Paddling Board for next year's summer holiday. So this christmas will be an expensive one. I'm happy that Lego ins bringing back Technic Sets with functions and not only display cars without functions. Now they should bring back B models out of the box.
@@Unbrickme In 1978 I was 5 years old, and we lived in Austria back then. My 12 year old brother got the Technic Heli for christmas and I got a motorized 4.5V passenger train since I was a big train fan. We lived near the main railway station and I often went "train spotting" with my dad on sundays. There was also a big department store which made a Lego competition every year before christmas with build themes for different ages. You could win of course more Lego, which was very cool. In the 80s I built a whole Lego city with trains. I had tons of the classic Legoland theme sets. I got back into Technic with the 42030 Wheel Loader in 2014 and started collecting sets of all technic ages then.
I went to the Lego store in London and I bought it impulsively and WOW it is quite complicated. The build was quite smooth except for the controls in the cabin as the joysticks were quite stiff and the lever was very hard to move and when using the joystick it makes the propeller way too slow and it heavily strains the motor I could of built it wrong but anyways it is definitely worth the money just pay attention while building
Great! So, LEGO ceased production of the V-22 Osprey years ago because it was militarized. H175 is not just a civilian helicopter BUT also a military utility version. Maybe, LEGO needs to relook on restarting that V-22 Osprey model to be fair. I believe both would be great models together. Bring back the V-22 OSPREY!
This video is playing in my OnePlus 6 at 360p i was thinking to comment about this but i didn't do that and when notification came i click this video it was 720p but i accidentally closed the app and now its 360p
Fantastic set! And it would be relatively easy to modify it for full remote control, just by switching out the hub. Can't wait until somebody tries the Buggy Motor Rotor Spin Test to see how much thrust the main propeller would generate, even though it would be far from flight.
Heck, maybe someone should combine this set with the 51515 robotics kit to automate the collective/cyclic pitch controls and create an autonomous helicopter or something. Unfortunately, I personally don't have the resources for that right now since I'm building the HoverShuttle for the Hydrohovership Helicarrier Hovercraft, but its just an idea if someone so chooses to adopt it.
Lol, I mainly focused on that because when I was 7 years old and built the 8043 motorized excavator, I had to partially disassemble it to align the switches with the driving rings
Can you post your updated winch clutch if you do end up changing it, because the winch should be somewhat usable, and I am getting this set but it’s my first proper technic set so I’m not familiar with clutches and that. Great video this really helped in my purchasing decision. Thanks
Hi I’ve just built this and it’s really good but when I put the fast rotation on it works for about 5 seconds then stops, every other function works just fine?
This looks great, the only thing I don’t like about it is the neon yellow parts I personally don’t like the colour and would have preferred if it was just yellow
Has anyone else had trouble building this set??? I'm completly lost with what to do, the amount of times i've had to disassemble it is getting stupid and i'm only on bag two. I've had enough now and just dumped it back in the box.
There are also two more pros of the set. # 1: This set is the first LEGO Technic helicopter to be licensed. Airbus is a fantastic brand. # 2: The pieces. I'm glad that LEGO finally released the swashplate pieces with five pin holes on sides and also the star piece will be a useful piece to make complex geometric LEGO Technic builds. And also the new 20-toothed green bevel-less gear with a clutch. It is nice to see it in green.
@@Unbrickme Yes, I might get that set, and also the 42144 set. As Sariel mentioned on his review, we hope that the 42145 will be not get cancelled just like the Osprey. Since the Airbus h175 helicopters are also used in military in real life.
The osprey has no civilian uses and is only used in the military. This helicopter has both military and civilian uses. So it will not be canceled. For example, the Land Rover defender has both military and civilian uses, so it was never canceled
Bonjour, le système pour le levage des roues est aussi faible. je n'arrive pas à sortir le train des roues quand le 42145 est posé au sol. Dommage. d'ailleurs aucune vidéo ne montre le souci Bien à vous Mezrci

I have a bit of an issue with my build. I just connected the motor (reached se tion 4) and tested the various functions, all work ok except when tge landing gear retracts or is deployed, it makes a loud clicking noise, like the motor is still trying to force it to keep going. Its like its missing something that makes it stop once it finishes the cycle. I have checked the build, Checked the instructions again etc, but cannot see where I went wrong.
In step 179, we joined the red beam using a technic 1/2 pin in the hole adjacent to where the red axel is inserted (instead of joining it with the red axel, which appears in subsequent steps not to be joined together).
I’m just being knit picky but does the instructions not actually mention the actual names of the mechanisms your making?

Nice!
Great video. The quality is amazing!
I appreciate it so much I work very hard to provide the best quality possible
@9:40 I'm sure there's a module that can be attached here, that can hook into the gear that allows the rope to spool evenly.
Idea for your channel: making videos (shorts?) on modding technic sets, like the winch mod you spoke about in this video.
I like it!
That intro….
Was absolutely awesome ngl!
10:20 Hey, that’s an illegal building technique with the friction pin and system turntable brick!
That's a different brick
I think a working swashplate is the coolest thing ever! (the swash plate is the steering, it is how real helicopters work)

Yeah that’s pretty awesome! Especially considering that most other motorized sets have a much higher average piece cost than 10 cents
At 0;00, I can tell you, from personal experience, yes. It's a long build, but the finished product... so worth it.
What's nice and unique about your videos is that you open up by having your sets "on location."
Can not wait for this at Christmas. Keep up the great work

I'm curious what the difference is between the previous one with power functions added
Working swashplaet?
Thanks for the hilarious skit, but overall this looks awesome
as with all highly detailed lego technic sets it will be a pain in the bottom to put together, and especially the helicopter rotor assembly.
Helicopters don't really have joysticks, it's called cyclic pitch control, or simply cyclic.
Great set and great review, thank you. What I miss on this helicopter that is full of functions is an adjustable tail rotor.

Was the cyclic and collective pitch possible to build in technic before this set came along, even with just 4 or 6 rotors?
Also great review 👍
I don’t think so, only changing the overall angle of ALL propellers was possible (feathering), cyclic and collective controls weren’t easily possible

The controls are called "cyclic" and "collective"

Just get a diecast model lol
For $200, I was expecting it to actually FLY, man!
I hope Lego knows that the airbus helicopter is used in the British army.
It is, but it also heavily used for civilian purposes. The osprey was only military in real life
Is it the best? Hell yeah
Its called a swash plate not a turntable
