Brickeconomy report on set and its rarity below
LEGO 852 Helicopter was a 364 piece Technic set released in 1977. It consists of a helicopter with rotating main and tail rotors, a collective pitch mechanism controlled from the pilot stations, and flybars with paddles on the main rotor. The rotor rotation is driven by a crank on the side, utilizing a gear system to control the speed ratio between the main and tail rotors.
The current value for a new, factory sealed Helicopter is estimated to be around £616. Current used prices for Helicopter range from £51 to £75, depending on the set's condition, with an average price of £52 for those in good overall condition.
Helicopter (set 852-1) is an extremely old and rare LEGO set. It has not been seen for sale online or in retail stores in good/new condition in over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the current estimated value of £616.29 may be much lower than its true value, assuming it can be found for sale. As this set was released in 1977, finding it sealed and in good condition is particularly challenging, likely driving its true value even higher.
