Below average

#31 of 34 Icons sets with 200–999 pieces

Four minifigures are this train’s strong point, since the typical Icons set with 200–999 pieces has none. But it gives about 70 pieces per $10 against a typical 94, has a 3.4 rating that’s among the lowest in its group, and costs roughly 11% more than its contents usually would, so it ends up below average.
