“Set 8680 was released in 1986 as the largest of 4 sets in the new Arctic Action theme. This set features a helicopter with rotating rotors, an opening front ramp, a pneumatic rear helicopter lift, and two of the new Technic figures with a helmet, skis, and poles.”

“The Arctic Rescue Station from the Lego Technic series is one of four sets that belong to the theme Polar World. The station is the largest of these sets and also the base station. The model is really big, but still very simple. There are also very few functions, so that the... More fun falls by the wayside. Therefore there are no more than three stars in the overall rating.”

Imagine a Mountain Rescue Base with a pneumatic powered helicopter platform. Or Snow Ranger vehicles with snow ploughs and the new action-figures which can even wear skis. They all add up to a really exciting new build-and-play idea. Though all the pieces fit with other LEGO® bricks the TECHNIC range has special girder beams to hold working details like gear wheels, differentials etc. And thanks to the building instructions for several models enclosed in each set they are easy to build. Even though they may look a bit challenging at first!
