The Lego author I reviewed recently purchased number 5864, which is a mini helicopter set consisting of 52 Lego pieces. Although this Lego set is small, Lego Creator sets generally offer great re-playability, and Lego Creator set 5864 is no exception.
Lego Creator sets are designed to inspire creativity and come with directions for building three different Lego creations from the same set of pieces. Lego Creator set 5864 as a mini helicopter, airplane propeller, and sculpture can be built and rebuilt as a mini though a mini helicopter is the first creation depicted in a plastic case containing a Lego brick.
The Lego Creator set 5864 comes with a variety of fun Lego pieces, which makes this Lego set attractive for its size and price point. Included in this set are several 1×1 round and square bricks. Pieces like 1×1 bricks are useful for creating details like indicator lights and indicators in Lego models, so any set containing translucent 1×1 bricks will allow you to create interesting details in the following Lego models. Lego set 5864 also includes two windshield pieces, which are also useful for building small Lego space planes and water bodies.
In addition to the nice variety of Lego pieces included in the Lego Creator 5864, it also includes a set of bricks with interesting and unique colors. Although some of the Lego bricks are included in Lego set 5864, they are regular blue, white, and black bricks, also included are two blue 1×6 sides that serve as the helicopter’s bumper rails. Since this color is unusual for Lego, this set can provide interesting additions to larger Lego collections to which this set will inevitably be added.
I bought the Lego Creator at the Lego Store located in the Valley Fair Mall in San Jose for only $5.99. If you’re on a budget or looking for a small budget stuffing gift for Christmas, Lego Creator set 5864 makes an excellent stuffer for Christmas morning. The set includes a translucent red plastic case that contains the included 52 Lego pieces for this set. This case case comes with a set of additional Lego pieces, which means that the red case can be read as a carrying case. Carry a small amount of Lego bricks wherever you or your children choose to take from a larger Lego collection.
Finally, the Lego Creator set 5864 is an affordable Lego set that can be used to build a mini helicopter, airplane propeller, or small schools The Lego Creator puts together a variety of interesting Lego pieces with different pieces, both in color and in terms of shape, and thus this Lego set has good re-playability. The set can be purchased for $5.99, making it the perfect Lego stocking stuffer for Christmas 2009.
