Mars Exploration Minifigure Pack gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#188 of 199 City sets under 200 pieces
As a minifigure pack it delivers what the name promises: four minifigures for $12.99, well over twice the usual rate. Judged as a small City set, though, it has about a third of the usual plastic per dollar (estimated from the parts list) and around 26 pieces per $10 against 57, and it costs about 85% more than similar contents.
