Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory gives a little less than similar sets
Below average
#40 of 51 Ideas sets with 1,000+ pieces
Nine minifigures give the Chocolate Factory about twice the usual figure rate for a big Ideas set. But it has about 18% less plastic per dollar than typical, fewer pieces per $10 (88 against 99), a 4.1 rating below most of the group, and a price about 8% above what its contents usually cost, so it scores below average.
