Armor Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Helicopters in city sets are almost as common as minfigs in city sets. 1 Quote

What could be the "subplot"? Those ubiquitous money thieves are hiding in the hills (most likely) The mining theme operation is illegal. Stopping speeding cars on those winding mountain roads; dangerous rock slides Illegal logging - poaching spotted owls Moonshiners or drug labs Hillbillies - 'nuff said. Mountain climbers without permits. Plane or helicopter crash (irony) that only a helicopter can access. Camping outside of designated areas: Timmy is lost; menaced by bears or cougars; improper latrine; didn't pack out their trash; Jason or Blair Witch 2 Quote

Alpinemaps Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 When I hear "mountain police" I think of forest police. If it were a winter theme (snow based), I'd have called the line "alpine police" (no pun intended). I'm hoping this is a snow based police group. I'd love to see more winter themed buildings and vehicles. Quote
