Poor value

#20 of 21 Minecraft sets under 200 pieces

The Melon Farm is poor value: about 34 pieces per $10, less than half what a typical small Minecraft set gives (74), and about a third less plastic per dollar than the group norm. Three minifigures and a 3.9 rating help a little, but at $14.99 it costs about 45% more than similar contents usually sell for.
