Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your LEGO set, follow these simple care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean LEGO bricks with a mild soap solution and lukewarm water (not exceeding 40°C / 104°F). Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not use hot water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the plastic.
• Storage: Store the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and warping of plastic elements. Keep small parts in a container to avoid loss.
• Handling: Handle the assembled models with care to prevent pieces from detaching.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or play, consider the following:

• Missing Pieces: If you find a piece is missing, double-check the packaging and surrounding area. For genuinely missing parts, refer to the Customer Support section.
• Assembly Difficulties: Review the building instructions carefully, paying close attention to the images and piece orientation. Sometimes a small piece may be incorrectly placed, affecting subsequent steps.
• Loose Connections: Ensure all bricks are firmly pressed together. LEGO bricks are designed to interlock securely.
• Accessory Attachment: Some smaller accessories, such as the camera piece on the helicopter, may detach if nudged. Reattach firmly.
