#18 of 21 Ideas sets with 500–999 pieces

The Yellow Submarine is well liked, 4.3 of 5 from 677 builders, and five minifigures stand out where the typical Ideas set with 200–999 pieces has none. But it has about 25% less plastic per dollar than usual, about 66 pieces per $10 against 87, and costs roughly 26% more than its contents usually would.
