Four minifigs in a sub-$40 City set is the kind of math that makes you do a double-take at the shelf. Solid action scene, fair price — just don't expect it to fund anything later.
Is the price fair?A+Four minifigs and a helicopter under $40 — City action sets rarely pencil out this well.

The Full Take
Four minifigs packed into a $40 City set is a genuine standout — you're getting a helicopter, a getaway car, a crook, cops, and enough moving parts to actually stage a scene. The build isn't going to challenge anyone, but it's crisp and purposeful: every element serves the chase. Shelf presence is decent for a City action set, with the helicopter doing most of the heavy lifting visually. It won't win any design awards, but it doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. The price-to-content ratio here is legitimately hard to argue with. Just go in knowing the secondary market has zero interest — this one's for playing with or displaying, full stop.
