Poor value

#50 of 51 Ideas sets with 1,000+ pieces

E.T. has about 27% less plastic per dollar than a typical big Ideas set, near the bottom of its group, and about 86 pieces per $10 against 99. At $139.99 it costs roughly 40% more than its contents would usually sell for, around $100, and it has too few ratings yet for builder opinion to count.
