Vestas Wind Turbine gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#34 of 34 Icons sets with 200–999 pieces
Part of this wind turbine’s $199.99 price goes into motorized parts rather than bricks, so it ranks last of 33 Icons sets with 200–999 pieces. It gives about 31 pieces per $10, a third of the typical 94, and costs roughly 70% more than its pieces and plastic would usually sell for. It makes sense if you want a working turbine, not the most build for your money.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
