#98 of 101 Creator 3-in-1 sets with 200–499 pieces

Builders like Robo Explorer (4.1 of 5 from 253 ratings), but it has about 35% less plastic per dollar than a typical mid-size Creator 3-in-1 set, nearly the lowest in the group. It gives about 75 pieces per $10 against 96, and at $19.99 it costs about 36% more than similar contents, which makes it poor value.
