Below average

#53 of 71 Minecraft sets with 200–499 pieces

This advent calendar is all about the figures: 12 minifigures, more than three times the usual rate for a mid-size Minecraft set, and a 4.1 rating. It gives only about a third of the group’s typical plastic per dollar and 64 pieces per $10 against 86, and at $44.99 it costs roughly 64% more than similar contents, so it scores below average.
