"A compact, play-focused seaplane that delivers genuine fun and a rare life raft accessory for a reasonable price. Its BrickScore of 74.9 and 4.8 owner average across 843 ratings confirm a solid Recommended set, with the sticker dependency being the main caveat for display-focused buyers."
Sea Rescue Plane (60164) scores a BrickScore of 74.9, placing it in the Recommended tier with broadly positive but qualified reviews from Brickset and JANG. Both reviewers praised the sturdy, swooshable seaplane design, good play value for a small set, and a standout life raft accessory. Owner sentiment is particularly strong, with a 4.8 average across 843 ratings and 88% of LEGO.com buyers willing to recommend it. The main shared criticism is heavy sticker reliance, with JANG noting the model looks very plain without them and fragile wing construction flagged in buyer reviews as a concern for active play.
