Motors and hubs take up much of the $399.99 price, so the Grand Piano’s contents look thin: 90 pieces per $10 against a typical 104. The 36 cm piano is small for a display at that price, and you pay about 17% more than its contents usually cost, ranking 47th of 51 large Ideas sets.

Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
